The first thing to check is the water level in the tank. The water level should come up over top of the outer edge of the metal filter. Start a Normal cycle, and then after filling stops, open the door and check the level. The first two fills are not full timer interval fills, but the 3rd...

I had just started a Pots & Pans cycle of my KUDS-23, and realized a bit later that I had forgotten to add something. By this time, the cycle had progressed to the wash after the initial heating period, so I waited until mid way through the wash once the reheat period had started. I opened the...

What is the exact model number of this dishwasher?

The loud click you are hearing from underneath is indeed the drain valve. You would need to test to see if power is getting down to the motor, and test the motor windings for continuity. If you take a look at the schematic diagram in the service manual, you will see that the motor is...

Most likely the problem is either the motor itself that has gone bad, a broken wire between the timer and motor, or the timer is not sending power down to the motor. It's possible that you didn't hear it filling before because there was enough water already in the tub to keep the float switch...

A few weeks ago, I opened the door of my KitchenAid KUDS230B0 after the cycle was done, only to be surprised that although the bottom rack was clean, the top rack of dishes hadn't been properly cleaned, and there were significant food gibbles on some of the bowls. I ran a Rinse and Hold to see...

potatochips, with regards to reply# 8, there was a 10 program BD Kenmore washer sold in Canada in the early to mid 80's. It was basically the same as the 8 program version, except separated the Cottons/Sturdy and Permanent Press programs into Whites and Colors. It also had an automatic setting...

Sorry for my lack of response. I haven't been feeling very well the past few days. I think I have BPPV, as I have vertigo when I wake up in the morning... makes me very nauseous. My opinion would be if you see rust, it is best to sand it off before covering it with epoxy, as it will only...

Ha John... I guess we posted the same thing at the same time. :-)

Uhhh... that was me who posted about the o-rings. :-) If I remember correctly, I did have a bit of trouble with the bi-metals when I first got my KDS-58. I think one of the doors wouldn't open, or wouldn't stay locked; can't remember now. I was able to adjust them by bending the bi-metal...

Maybe a difference between Canadian and USA built Kenmores?

I would like to see this as well. Never saw a Kenmore with an off balance buzzer. The first automatic my mom had was an early 70's Canadian Kenmore and it definitely didn't have an off balance switch/buzzer. I remember because I used to be scared to death as a kid of it going out of...

While you are at it, you might want to consider changing the two o-rings on the detergent dispenser door shafts while you are changing your bi-metal. Very easy to do and will stop any dripping that is happening from these shafts. When I first got my KDS-58, I ran it with the front of the door...

Thanks John, I found them. I'll scan them later on tonight and make them available for download in case anybody wants a copy.

Would the timer chart and wiring schematic diagram be on the inside of the door for this dishwasher? Or would one of the "Tech Sheets" listed above contain this information? That's all I really wanted the service manual for.

So it looks like there isn't an actual service manual... interesting.

Agreed Frigilux... thanks everyone for this great information.

Thanks Panthera for the recommendation. I'm going to buy a can of Rustoleum bathtub paint this weekend and give it a try. Maytagbear, I would think a Dremel tool would be perfect for this job. I am going to try using mine and I will let you know how it goes. Still looking for a service...

Monday afternoon I drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up a KitchenAid KUDS230B0 dishwasher. I found it on Kijiji for $60 CAD, and from the pictures it looked like it was in really good condition. When I got there, the pictures weren't lying... it was in terrific shape: the tank was mint except for a...
