    Clog on a KitchenAid KDS-16

    "Maybe you have a large residue from the pasta pot still lurking in there!" I hope you're right. On that hope I ran a full load and it completed washing the dishes properly. I did have a small to moderate leak, about a cup of dirty water. I will run some more test rinses and such and see if...

    Clog on a KitchenAid KDS-16

    Without a manual I have to gauge and guess as best as I can. "So...maybe nothing is actually wrong with the machine after all?" I wish that were the case... I just reassembled everything and did a test run. Within the first two minutes I am getting a leak on both sides of the machine so I...

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't installed or changed anything. I'm pretty sure this is my fault as I poured the contents of a soapy saucepan into the dishwasher drain. Now if I pour water into the bottom it does not drain like normal. As for a garbage disposal, I don't have one. I imagine...

    Clog on a KitchenAid KDS-16

    Greetings All, I have a KDS-16 KitchenAid dishwasher that normally works great, unfortunately now it won't drain water due to a clog or something. I can get the cancel drain function to work however. I have disassembled as much of the components I could in order to get to the drain valve to...
