I have a KA dishwasher (7years) old (KDTE204DWHO) flashing a 8-4 and 6-4 code- finally got it fixed. (It would fill go partway through the wash cycle then shut off. ) I had to shop vac the water out. Unplug from wall. turn off water. Then pull machine out and turn it on it's side twist off discharge pump(had solid debris in it and stuff wrapped around impeller shaft. But the real difference was made when we cleaned out the discharge hose it had all kinds of chunks of stuff that was sloughing off creating a clog and slowing down the draining cycle then the unit would time out and lights would go off too. Spent too much time listening to those who didn't know shite. Got the best advise from a guy in the UK. Best of luck and cheers! PS There is a foot valve that is hidden in the 90 degree rubber boot on one side of the discharge hose on one end.
Kithenaid dishwasher was stuck on clean and flashing 8 times then 4. Solution was to drain the drip pan as in this video. Very helpful, was about to call an appliance repair place and I'm sure pay $$$
What really helped me was seeing you do it by disassembling the censor. I had tried to tighten the feed hose from the side and it was leaking. When I did it your way, it threaded up considerably more and the leak ended. Thanks for posting this
Thank you. I had to do this the second after install and best buy left. It takes a while for the drain pan to fill so they didn't catch it dripping from the water line. They simply didn't tighten it enough, so I had to. Perfect fix that saved me frustration and a call back.
Thanks, this was the clearest video I found. 5 min and the issue was fixed. I was cooking and a bunch of water rolled over the edge of the counter and down on my washer, I guess some how, it accumulated in the drip tray.
if the heating element for the dishwasher has brass ends it forms a catalyst with the stainless steel tank, corroding the brass connectors of the heating element, causing water to leak into the pan, tripping the code. It is a recall call KitchenAid have them replaced the heating element if that is your case.
there is a black hose that is not capped that seems to kind of drain on purpose on the left side of the dishwasher. looks like a condensation tube that is draining soapy water to set off the codes?
@@robertovelasco6320 There is a pan that fills up with soapy water and sets off the sensor that gives the code. I just cleaned up the pan and sensor and it runs ok. I received a recall parts notification replacement but I can't fined the paper. If I run a high temp wash cycle it leaks again, so I just run a normal wash and sani rinse and it works just fine.
The video showed how to fix the error, but what about how to fix the reason the water got in the drip tray? I have that problem. How do I stop the leak? It is coming out the black hoses on each side of the drip tray.
It is a good video, but it misses a CRITICAL part. How to unplug the electrical from the drip tray. I tried... there must be a release.. you cannot see anything as the wire is short and you can't just pull it.
This is way too complicated for me. I've got this error code the very first time I used the full cycle on this machine. I have only used Express before because the stupid cycles are so long. The beeping is making me crazy. Should I just hit the Cancel button twice or cycle power. That is in the instructions for Self Installers on the Error Codes page. But I'm not a Self Installer, just a person. The machine is still making noises like it's trying to work but the beeps are still going. Thanks for any help!
Thanks. My child put dish soap in washer and it overflowed into that reservoir. To bad they did not have a hose that one could just pull out and go into a shallow pan and empty the reservoir.
I'm having it flip this error code but the water isn't leaking from that point. It's coming from the overflow tube on the right side right over the drip tray. It is a brand new washer and just installed today and I don't know how to fix this issue
Cleared the code. It keeps coming back. This is not newly installed. It has been in use for months. The disposal was plugged, which the dishwasher drains through. Now that the drain is cleared, it won't clear codes.
THANKS FOR THIS! You should add the disclaimer: Before you start, ask your wife if she may have “accidentally” put something in that was covered in dish soap.
Big mistakes in editing! Please add the missing the voice-over on the first half; "THIS IS THE DRIP TRAY" .... "NOW I AM DRAINING THE DRIP TRAY INTO THE SINK", "THIS IS THE FLOAT CONNECTION - A BAD CONNECTION HERE CAN ALSO CAUSE THIS ERROR". And move the re-assembly sequence to after the water line connection check - now you have it scrambled to show him closing it up before he checks the water line. The second half with the voice-over is great.
What a terrible video. Explain what causes the error, what sensor it's related to before you just start sharing fix instructions. This is a terrible method of troubleshooting.
Same exact "troubleshooting" from KitchenAid's website. Mine won't clear the code. Hit the Cancel button twice and it goes silent for about a second and a half and then resumes the obnoxious error chime and blinking code lights. Unplugging it makes it quiet, but it resumes as soon as it's plugged back in. I think mine is defective.

Thanks pal, we had an overflow and drip tray filled up. Fixed in less than 5 mins. Appreciate your time!
I appreciate this video. the first time I've used a youtube video instead of a credit card hiring it out.
Add on to that, before emptying your tray remember to clean the filter with warm water vinegar and baking soda
Thanks for the informative video. What would cause water to accumulate in the drip tray?
Water in the tray, fixed it right up, thanks man!

Where do you see the recall?
Great instructions! This helped me a lot.
THANKS... Drip tray had water in it... problem solved in under 5 minutes.

Awesome! It fixed our problem. Thanks so much!!

Something happen to my dishwasher but it wasn't my child but my wife who put dish soap to it
So same issue for me aswell 🤦🏽, we still need to execute the same steps right?
So the answer is..same procedure, it did worked for me 👍
Fuck man we’re all here for the same wife mistake lmfao!!!
Great video this was exactly my problem!
That was a great video! I really appreciate that it he;ped me to fix the issue and save me time and money on calling in a repair person.
Awesome! This worked. Thank you
Thx for this video - help me resolve this error.
This solution worked for me. Thanks
What causes the water to fill the tray? Drain is unrestricted.......
Did you ever figure out why water fills the tray?
I'm having it flip this error code but the water isn't leaking from that point. It's coming from the overflow tube on the right side right over the drip tray. It is a brand new washer and just installed today and I don't know how to fix this issue
Did you get an answer I got the same problem
@@robertovelasco6320 we ended up getting a brand new washer cause it was a factory defect
Thank you, that fix my problem

I’m in the exact same situation … did you figure it out? Very annoying
@@ArcherProductions_studio, full power shutdown eventually reset it.
Worked! Thank you so much.

That's what happened to me tonight....will it fix itself after the bubbles go away?!

@@TheGunnerStorm thank you! I'll try that 😆
