When you lived the handle does the push buttons pop out to reset the cycle? What model is it a KDI17? | ||

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what model it is or how to tell? I've attached some photos. Yes. When I lift the handle, the buttons do pop out! I've read other posts where the responses ask for pictures of the inside panel. I'm not even sure how to remove it. I appreciate your help. | ||

 I'm not 100% certain but the machine appears to be a KDI-18. There should be a sticker on the side of the inner door panel with model information.
I'm more familiar with model series 20 and later. Those have a couple of screws on each side that hold the control panel in place. If you see a similar configuration on your machine, remove those screws and the timer & button assemblies should be made accessible to take photos and/or make repairs. | ||

Thanks for that - It is a KD-18. I had looked earlier and didn't notice it. | ||

KDI-18 DW That Does Not Start Hi, To start this DW you just latch the door and push a cycle button, you do not have to move the timer knob. The DW will start in a few minutes if it is working properly.
It sounds like if you can not get it to start you may have a timer or door interlock switch problem or even a push-button switch problem.
These things are easy to fix for a tech that is familiar with KA DWs, find a tech that has been in business for at least 30 years and has gray [ or no ] hair. Even though parts are not available from WP-KA any longer these machines were so popular that parts can be fond on eBay etc.

Thanks all! I've found an appliance repair man that I'm hopeful will be able to fix it next Monday. I appreciate so much assistance and help. This group is full of fantastic people! | ||
