 Getting tricky to find these timers in NOS condition but they occasionally pop up on Ebay. There's currently a rebuilt one for $75 if you want to take a chance on it.

Isn’t filling with water. I replaced the fill valve first but that didn’t fix the issue. The only dishwasher repair guy I could get to come out then said the timer was the issue. Hope he’s right. | ||

Good tip on the broken timer, sannazay. I did keep it. Gotta say, KDS-18 is working like champ again and I’m thrilled.

Kitchenaid KDS-18 dishwasher won’t stop filling with water Yes, that is correct ’qsd-dan.’ As odd as it may sound, that’s what is happening. Thank you for the response and info. I did look this part up on eBay. It’s saying OEM Whirlpool. Will this fit my machine? | ||

The valve will fit, I've used a couple of them on my Hobart dishwashers including a KDS-18.
The original valve is a dual inlet setup and the new valve is a single like all modern appliances use today but it functions the same. Just use electrical tape on the extra 2 wire connectors so they don't energize or short out on surrounding metal. | ||

Inlet valve, not closing
This is a fairly common problem and one of the many problems that can occur with an inlet valve.
If it’s a lightly used machine, you can take the valve apart and clean it and it will probably start working again. Portable KDS 58 Only had a single inlet valve as it was manufactured, KitchenAid didn’t worry about the portables flooding because the user could turn the water off so easily if it started to happen. They also were trying to save a few dollars. They also were trying to save a few dollars. The portable was already a very expensive machine. John | ||

KA- KDS-58 Hope all had an awesome 4th! Another question I have about my portable KA KDS-58, I noticed that I’m able to simply remove the lower wash arm by lifting off, same with the metal fine filter screen. Is that normal? I would expect there to be a bolt or something that would secure the lower wash arm on to the filter screen. | ||
