Is the activator pin (that activates to door switch) on the upper right hand side of the tub broken?

If you push the cancel button w door latched, the timer should advance to the end of the cycle - and then should be ready with clean light off maybe?..
Additionally, in my opinion, a machine of this age should have a new water valve installed - a 50.00 part. -short fills will affect wash performance. |

Maybe the timer is the issue then... do you know a way to check it? Can I take it apart somehow? And that sounds like a good idea, I don't know if it's ever been changed! |

Completely normal for the KUDS23 buttons to stay pressed when the door is opened. The "Cancel" button will un-select any of the main cycle options when pressed, and the "Reset Options" button will un-select both the "Sani Rinse" and "Energy Saver Dry" options when pressed. But all these buttons will stay latched when pressed... only the "6 HR Delay Wash" button which is push on/push off, and the "Start" button which is momentary push, don't latch.
BTW, told you it was a KUDS23! :-p Seriously, these are great dishwashers. I have one as well as a KDS-58 (a portable model of the KDS-18), and I prefer this one. The KDS-58 cleans really well, but I found it left specs of food on the upper rack dishes (even with the constant spray head intact), where the KUDS23 does not. You also don't have to clean any filters on the KUDS23, which is nice. |
