KitchenAid dishwasher no power

What to expect when you experience a KitchenAid dishwasher no power issue

How is the no power problem fixed?

Correcting most no power problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, user interface control or power supply board. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.

Sears Home Services recommendations for a dishwasher that has no power

When the dishwasher has no power it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dishwasher failures.

What to look out for with a dishwasher no power diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dishwasher problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Fixing a Kitchen Aid Dishwasher With No Power

When your Kitchen Aid dishwasher has no power, check the light switch just beside the light switch that controls the garbage disposal next to your kitchen sink. In many homes, that light switch beside your sink shuts off power to the dishwasher. If it's off, your Kitchen Aid dishwasher won’t power up. Turn that switch on if you find it turned off and see if the dishwasher powers up.

A tripped house circuit breaker for the dishwasher could be the cause of your Kitchen Aid dishwasher having no power. Reset the house circuit breaker to see if the appliance powers up. If not, plug in a night light or small lamp into the electrical outlet for the dishwasher to see if it works. If the electrical outlet is dead, have an electrician fix the outlet.

If the dishwasher is getting power through the outlet but won’t power up, one of the failures could be causing the problem:

• Bad power cord.
• Wiring failure.
• Blown fuse on the electronic control board.
• Defective electronic control board.
• Bad control panel.
• Defective user interface control board.
