The 'Rinse Only' and 'Add a Dish' lights are blinking and other option bottons on the control panel are not function. The washer can not drain. I unplugged the power cord for a couple days and plugged it back. The washer was able to drain. Then the 'Rinse Only' and Add a Dish' lights are blinking again. The washer can not operate again. Can anybody help?

Could be your rinse only key is stuck closed or could be the control board.
I cannot find a tech sheet for this unit as you are missing at least 3 digits from the end of your model number. |

Here is your tech sheet http://www.servicematters.com/d...0Sheet%20-%208269519.pdfTry to run the diagnostics. Try the following connection cleaning If that does nothing check the keypad for a stuck key with a meter. Might be an idea to do this when you have it open for the connection cleaning.
Connection Cleaning Unplug the unit Open it up Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. Clean the edge connector. If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here. Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Reconnect everything and give it a try. |

ETIHOME
I have exact same model and getting rinse light blinking. No response from unit whatsoever. Were you able to resolve your symptom and if so, what was the resolution?
Thanks in advance.

I know this posting is old, but I now have the same problem described here. "Rinse only", "Add a dish", and two dashes blinking. I have tested continuity of the switch panel (ribbon cable), but oddly cannot find a single connection regardless of whether a button is pressed or not. I have reversed the leads suspecting that going through the diodes would make the difference, but no luck. I find it nearly impossible that none of the switches are working. Clearly none appear to be in the closed condition either. I suspect the drawing posted in the Tech Sheet is either inaccurate or for a different model. I would really prefer to not blindly start replacing parts given that none are cheap. I can't believe neither Whirlpool or KitchenAid appear to publish a list of descriptions for failure lights. Any suggestions would be appreciated. My model: KitchenAid KUDS01IJBS0

Here is the tech sheet for your unit http://www.servicematters.com/docs/wiring/Tech%20Sheet%20-%208269519.pdfOn checking the keyboard did you short the meter leads together before starting to make sure it was working. Also try a higher ohms setting. The meter must put out enough voltage/current to forward bias the diode. Diodes are forward biased when the negative lead is on the point side or the arrow. |

Having the correct drawing is very helpful. So it appears that everything is correct (once measured correctly) EXCEPT on the drawing you provided it shows 3-11 as Soak/Scour. I measure about 2meg at 3-11 and I do not have this particular switch. So I would expect a complete open and not 2meg. What is your opinion? Michael

I have never measured this so cannot really give a good answer but since the other keys that use those lines check out I would say it is OK.
Since you have done some trouble shooting you could order a control board from AppliancePartsPros and if it does not fix your problem they will let you return it, see their return policy. |
