Hi,
I am stumped…My KitchenAid Dishwasher Model KUDI24SEWH1 is about 17 years old. I replaced the cover for the touchpad 3 years ago the original was cracking from use and age. It has worked perfectly since the day we bought it. A few weeks ago I turned it on and it filled as usual. About 5 minutes later I noticed the motor had not kicked in. I went over everything and it seemed fine except the water would not drain. After some research I ran a diagnostic, both factory and service. The Thermal fuse checked out. The touch panel seemed ok. During the diagnostic I could hear the clicks as it went through the abbreviated cycle. The heater was working. The dispenser, wash and rinse, were doing what they should do. My initial breakdown of the motor assembly top to bottom was overall fine. I did notice some cracks in the impeller and other parts. (I have a pool and have replaced 4 pump motors over the years), same as my pool but a lot smaller. The motor itself was spinning freely. No jams at all. During the breakdown I looked for anything that could have jammed the workings up and it was all clean. I checked the connections and put it back together. Given the age I decided to replace the pump and motor assembly. The interior is stainless and looked just fine. I should mention I saw no leaks at all during all of this. The install was effortless. Only took about an hour or so start to finish. Started it up and everything was just as before. Decided to replace the main control board. I checked the latch and seemed fine. Hooked everything up. Started it up, same as before, it filled and heard the click lights were fine and nothing. Would hit cancel and could hear the click and a minute or two later would hear the click that it had finished. I have checked continuity on the thermostat dispenser, fill valve, latch and float valve. After all that it fills with water and goes through all the motions. The heater heats up when it should but that brand new motor assembly just is not getting power. The last thing I did was replace the Main control board. When I did that I went ahead and checked as many of the connections including the vent. Do you have any suggestions or know of something I am not checking? P.S. Also replaced the touch control board.
