Whirlpool Dishwasher Repair – Alliance, OH (KDTM404KPS0)

A Whirlpool dishwasher on Beeson Street Northeast in Alliance was stopping mid-cycle with the Clean light illuminated and repeating 3-chime alerts. Our diagnostic revealed multiple stored fault codes, but the unit completed our test cycle without generating new faults.

The Problem

The customer reported that their dishwasher stops in cycle, with the clean light coming on and keeping chiming 3 times over and over. The unit had standing water in the sump that the customer had already removed before our arrival.

Diagnosis

Our diagnostic scan revealed stored codes including F7E2 (Variable Speed Wash Motor), F9E1 (Drain), F3E2 (OWI Calibration), and F10E2/FAE2 (Vent Electrical). We ran a full diagnostic cycle and the unit completed test mode without generating new fault codes. We verified proper wash motor and drain pump operation with normal function observed during testing.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts replaced
• Work performed: Full diagnostic testing and system verification
• Result: Unable to duplicate concern at this time; no active mechanical or electrical failures found

Is It Worth Repairing?

The KDTM404KPS0 is a solid mid-range Whirlpool dishwasher that typically provides reliable service. Since no active faults were found during our testing, monitoring the unit’s operation is the prudent next step before committing to any major component replacements.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Dishwashers

• Clean the dishwasher filter monthly to prevent drain issues that can trigger F9E1 codes
