du5003xl Thank you so much for posting this! I grew up with this dishwasher and loved it! Our pump must have leaked too (I thought it was because a knife punctured the seal growing up) because it started making this horrible screeching noise. The motor died, and my parents decided to replace...

thanks alan! just sent you an email. thank you so much! Steven

oh it comes apart. thanks john, didn't know it came apart. I cleaned it out and the rubber is a little tough but it'll do till I get the new part. thanks for your help, by the way this the guy who came to see you a few years back on my way to new York.

yup it's stuck no matter how hard I blow it won't budge. I can force it down with a screwdriver tho but it always comes back to half way. I just want the back pressure off the motor it's had a rough enough time with all that crap in the pump. I couldn't believe all soap caked up in the wash arm...

use it without it for now? can I use the machine withoutthis check valve until I get a new one? what are the consequences?

So after that good cleaning I checked on my check valve, it wasn't full of stuff but it is stuck in the half-open position. That was probably the real problem like you all said but cleaning out the sump was good times. So this valve is NLA but someone mentioned I can use a GE part? Even tho...

Its Fixed!! Hi Steve, Ya I figured I went deep enough. I'll give a full progress report with pictures as soon as the days over and we get the kids to bed. Steven

getting closer I cleaned that out real good, filled er up with water and pushed cancel drain. It drained all the water with no problems!!!!! I found lots of sand-ish material and a few pieces of broken plates down there in the catch holes, Does this bottom part come out without breaking a seal...

Serious Gookage So I wanted to dig into the sump because I suspect thats where my real problem is. I But I will look at that check valve before I'm done. There is some serious gookage down there, lots of solid particles like little rocks that break up easily. This poor poor dear dishwasher, but...

Awesome Thanks Steve, I didn't know about the check valve, will I see it when I take the drain hose off? What is that valve designed to check and how do I know if the previous owner didn't take it off when they were disconnecting the dishwasher from its home for the last 20 some odd years?

sorry I may have led you guys in the wrong direction by stating it does iteverytime it drains. it does it everytime it drains only if there is water to drain. if there is no water to drain (an event I can only confirm on the cancel cycle) the motor does not shut off pre-maturely.

start winding?? so I'd agree but it when there is no water in the sump (after I've drained it manually) I can do the can the cancel drain cycle and the motor won't quit and that cycle stops as expected. plus if the drain start winding was staying on it would throw the thermal faster because...

drain hi Steve, yes everytime it tries to drain it trips even on cancel but only if water is present. from a full tub it takes 5x to drain the water completely. I'd say it pumps out for about 3 seconds each time. I've got a kink freebraided drain hose and I see lots of water volume and motor...

well I got my door springs on correctly thanks to your help and I replaced my timer in hopes of eliminating the partial drain problem but...that didn't fix the problem. so here is a summary, it washes great, but when the motor reverses it soon stops. if I open the door and wait 2 minutes...

Hello, I can't quite figure out where the spring from the door connects to the base of the dishwasher, does anyone have a pic or a description of where it goes? Also is it normal for the springs to make a ton of noise when opening and closing the door? An update on the timer situation, I...

thermal lsteve you may right since I have to wait 15 mins before attempting final drain. not sure that explains the partial drain on every drain on the normal cycle. maybe I'll try light tomorrow and see what happens. do you know if it only does the water purge on pots and pans?

So I ran the pots and pans cycle with the sani rinse selected and the dishwasher drained properly except for the final drain. I tried doing a cancel after the cycle ran out and couldn't get it to drain, then I waited 15 mins tried again and that time it drained. The new timer is on its way and I...

Nice The panels came out great congrads! Your machine has the same buttons as mine except the energy saver wash on mine is marked sani-rinse which probably doesn't do any energy saving at all =) Nice work!

oh I'll fix it for sure it's a good machine and I'm the one who does the dishes. i'll order the timer tomorrow. how do I takeout the old one to do a parts compare and should I replace the detergent dispenser while I'm in there?

Model # Model Number is: KUDS21MSO Does anyone know the sequence of just the normal cycle with the cycle times of each step? I'd like to time it and understand what it should be doing to compare it to what it is doing. I suspect the timer too, but I don't understand why its draining for such a...
