How to Troubleshoot a KitchenAid KUDP02FRSS0
The KitchenAid KUDP02FRSS0 is a pretty basic dishwasher, with a dispenser with main and pre-wash sections, rinse aid cup, sensors for soil, temperature and detergent, and a quiet motor. Operating the dishwasher should be fairly basic as well and most users will find it operates with few difficulties. If difficulties do arise, however, troubleshooting the issues with the KitchenAid dishwasher can help and restore normal function. Does this Spark an idea?

Let the dishwasher cool and automatically restart if the motor stops due to an overload. If the dishwasher does not restart, make sure the door is closed firmly and replace or reset the circuit breaker or fuse.

2
Turn the water valve counterclockwise to open if the dishwasher does not fill with water. Use your hand to tap the top of the protection float in the dishwasher bottom until it releases.

Use a longer or heavier cycle if dishes are not clean and make sure the detergent cup opens during the cycle. Blocking the dispenser door with heavy or large items will prevent detergent from releasing. Clean the spray arm with a clean, damp cloth and make sure the water temperature for the home reaches 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use less dishwasher soap if a white residue develops on the dishwasher front. Read the detergent instructions for the amount to be used each wash cycle.

5
Fill the rinse aid dispenser if dishes are not dry or if there are spots on items once the cycle is done. Use more than 1 tsp. detergent each time and do not use stale or clumping detergent.

Clean the dishwasher and any dishes that have a filmy appearance by taking out metal items and including a container of 2 cups vinegar in the dishwasher bottom rack. Start a normal wash cycle with energy saving or air dry. Repeat with 3 tbsp. citric acid instead of vinegar if the dishes are still not clean, and then run another normal wash cycle with detergent.

Look in the dishwasher tub for hard objects, small items or utensils that have fallen down and are caught in the wash module if there is a grinding or crunching sound. Remove the debris if possible.
