I looked for an appliance repair NG. The only one I found is pretty
inactive.

We have a Kitchen Aid KUDS01FL SS0 dishwasher. About 6 yrs old with
original cost of 1k-1200. It had two problems and now has one. Wasn't
cleaning. Took apart and found the chopper assembly committed
suicide. Replace that and it cleans OK.

Second issue is it runs too long. Book says 96 min on normal. It runs
2.5-3hrs. Have done research and dialog with RepairClinic.com. They
say possibilities a
Heating element kit with electronic control" $59.75.
(goofy-if you get just the control board it's $85! Go figure)
High-limit tub thermostat $13.25
Thermistor $47.20

The board I can't really test.
The heating element is getting hot but not sure if enough.
Thermostat & thermistor I don't know if I can test.

I can get the whole wad delivered for $130 but does anyone have any
pointers on testing?

Thanks,
Red...

Is the water going in hot? It should be hooked up to the hot supply
pipe. If you haven't already, try running the hot water at the
associated sink until it is full temp, then start the dishwasher. Does
that make a difference?

Yea, tried that too. Thanks, really. Sometimes the obvious isn't so
obvious.
