I just installed a Kitchenaid dishwasher KDS-18 in my kitchen. I bought it from a family that was doing a complete kitchen remodel. They had had no problems with the appliance. It sat for 2 weeks before I installed it. It ran for 20 - 30 minutes, then stopped. There is standing water in the unit. When I try to run it again I get no startup, no indication there is even power to the dishwasher. There is power to the unit, and I cannot find any reset button. It seems as if the problem must be fairly fundamental. If anyone has any suggestions, it would certainly be appreciated. I do not know how old the unit is, is it even worth attempting to repair? Thank you for your help.

Hi Wrangler, re. your question -
"is it even worth attempting to repair? " - there is so much good help on this site, anybody should be able to repair almost anything !
Bite your tongue :p
As to the real question, try the door switch first, I find that's a really common cause of dishwashers not starting. Good luck with it , I'll keep an eye on this thread :cool:
