CDT835SMJDS
Café CDT835SMJDS Dishwasher Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Drain pump humming or the tub not emptying
- Wash motor noise rising above the 45 dBA package
- Food disposer jammed by a hard object
- Hidden control panel not waking up
- Temperature control leaving dishes cool or filmy
The CDT835SMJDS is a Café-line built-in dishwasher, 24 in wide, with a tall stainless steel tub, a stainless door liner and controls hidden along the top of the door. It is listed with a 45 dBA quiet package and a wash system built on dual pumps and motors, automatic temperature control and a drain pump.
Two pumps and motors mean there are separate paths to check. When the dishes come out dirty we confirm the wash side is running, and when water stays behind we go to the drain side. The food disposer on models of this type can be stopped by a bone fragment or a piece of glass, which we clear before testing the motor. Noise that grows over time often traces to the pump bearings or a loose spray arm.
Nothing is ordered until we have copied the model and serial from the label. You approve a written price first, and our work is covered by a 30-day warranty.

Error codes this model can show
What does the dual pump setup mean for repairs?
This model lists dual pumps and motors, so the wash and drain jobs are handled separately. We test each one on its own, which keeps us from replacing a motor that was never the problem.
Is a 45 dBA dishwasher supposed to be silent?
It is a rated quiet package, not silence. A sudden increase in noise usually means a spray arm, a pump bearing or an object in the disposer area, and we check those in order.
Can a jammed disposer stop the dishwasher from draining?
On this type, yes. Hard food debris can lock the disposer or block the sump, so the drain looks failed. We clear it by hand and then test the pump, so you do not pay for a part you did not need.
