KitchenAid KUDS02SR Dishwasher Service Visit
A KUDS02SR that leaves the top rack gritty is telling you something about its spray arm. Mineral deposits and bits of food close the small jets, and the arm can also stiffen at its hub, so water no longer reaches the glasses.
Stopped cycles on this model tend to come from the fill side. A valve that sticks and a float that rides too high can look alike from the kitchen, so we tell them apart by watching how the tub fills and when the cycle halts.
We begin with the spray arms and filter, because those are the cheapest answers and the ones we find most often. From there we work toward the valve and float. Before any part is ordered you get a written price, and finished repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
More often the spray arm is the cause. We remove it, clear the jets and check that it spins freely on its hub. If the arm is clean, we then look at the filter and water level.
We check whether the float is stuck high and whether the inlet valve is still passing water after it should have closed. Those two together account for most fill-related stops.
Pulling it every month or two is a good habit, more often if you rarely rinse plates. A clogged filter slows drainage and holds odor, so it is the first thing we inspect on any visit.
