power The way I read the diagram there are times that power comes through the switch then distributed at the correct time to the correct place with the timer. If this path is damaged/broken, there is no power to be distributed. In this case it was the DV that wasn't getting power even though...

forgot this one Another pic

It works! Turned out to be the switch. Now I have a KD-18 superba that I'm now debating whether I'm going to re-install it or not. Thanks for all the help. Pulled the switch and couldn't get connections that I thought i should be getting. Found one and now it works great.

Thanks for the offer IF I need any parts to test I'll let you know. Big graduation and family thing going on so I've replaced it temporarily. Now that I have the kd18 in the garage I can take my time with it. I went through what you laid out and everything checks out. I've checked all the...

Thanks I'm going thru this circuit by circuit testing cleaning each one from connector to connector. I'll eventually find where this is breaking down. The diagram helped thanks. its easier to read then the one on the door. I've been tracing the common white wire and now that i pulled it...

Pink wire is in good shape Double checked the wiring and getting .05 ohms connection to connection timer to valve and timer to push button terminal, so good continuity there. Does the service manual show anything in the push button switch besides the cancel/drain that puts power to the timer...

no power to drain valve kd-18 superba Ripped the whole door apart and the timer. This is the second timer I put in it. Timer is definitely new. Can't find another one anyway. There is no sign of use or wear on the points or any of the moving parts and all of the wiring is good. Replaced...

Pink wire is in good shape Ran a continuity check on all the wires and they all checked out

No power` Thanks when i get back to it I was going to check the pink wire. What you pointed out about the parallel circuit is what i was looking for.

Tried the light for no power to drain valve kd-18 cleaned and put power to valve. drain valve works fine. Timer is new but could be bad. Can't figure out why it drains by pushing cancel/drain but not during normal use. Uses the same circuit right or is there a splice somewhere I'm missing...

no power to drain valve kd-18 superba it has a new timer

I have a kd-18 Kitchenaid dishwasher... mostly works fine. Now during all cycles there is no power to the drain valve. If I hit the cancel/drain button, the valve works fine and drains properly. Any ideas?

kds18 Thanks for the input! I guess I'll find out... I unplugged the wires, cleaned the contacts, reattached everything and now it doesn't fill at all. I'll replace the valve. If that doesn't do it its off to the appliance store. I do like how this cleans thought.

kds18 That's what i initially thought but It goes through all of the different cycles and if the timer was bad it wouldn't...

I have a KDS18 that fills on prewash and rinse but not for wash. Is this because of the dual coil. The only replacement part I can find is a single coil???? Will this work???
