Model Number: kudi01flss2 Brand: Kitchen Aid Age: 1 - 5 years
Our Dishwasher recently started acting up. Upon investigation it appears not to be getting water up to the top rack. Anything on the top rack is left dirty, the bottom rack cleans perfectly. Obviously the water is not reaching up to that top level or rack. The jets look to be clear and unobstructed by debris, but I may be wrong. I have tried cleaning it by cycling a gallon of vinegar with no results. Any Suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated since the thing is relativly new. Thanks

Hi,
You need to clean the food chopper assembly. It is a screen with a blade on it. The screen gets plugged up and cuts the flow of water as it's being pumped around inside the dishwasher. You can get to this screen from the inside of the dishwasher by removing the bottom spray arm and then the covers. Here is a photo of what your looking for. http://appliancejunk.com/forums/inde...sa=view;id=236 http://appliancejunk.com/forums/inde...sa=view;id=233

If your chopper is clogged, you need to replace this plus the check valve next to it in the housing. Inspect the chopper, if the white plastic end is badly worn, you also have to replace the main pump impeller, this requires pulling out the dishwasher

ApplianceJunk and richappy,
Thank you for all your help. I cleaned out the food chopper assembly and everythings fine. It had some built-up detergent and a few toothpicks (I'll have to talk to the kids about that) stuck in there. After cleaning, alls better. Thanks again. Frank |
