Setting Dependent Custom Lightning Picklist Level2 and Level3 then resetting the Level2 at Lightning component but Level2 Cached Data is Getting Saved

Question

Step 1

In a Salesforce Lightning component I have a scenario with three levels of dependent picklists, first I am setting values for picklist Level1, and Level2, then the user selects the dependent picklist value in Level3

Step 2

When I remove the selection at Level2, automatically Level3 selection also gets erased:

Step3

Click Save

Here is problem, that value selected in Step 1 is getting saved rather than the reset value in step 2.

I have added code to reset values at ui:inputSelectOption but it seems the reset values from lightning components are not getting reset and saved rather cached values are getting saved after I click save.

Please help in fixing the code such that lightning component doesn't saves the cached values rather it saves the current lightning component values.

Here is the component code:

<aura:component controller="PickListHandler" implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
  <!-- Actions-->

  <aura:handler name="change" value="{!v.pageReference}"
          action="{!c.onPageReferenceChanged}" />
  <!-- variable-->
  <aura:attribute name="lstLevel1" type="String[]" />
    <aura:attribute name="lstLevel2" type="String[]" />
    <aura:attribute name="lstL3" type="String[]" />
  <span> Level 1</span>
  <ui:inputSelect aura:id="ddLevel1" change="{!c.getLvl1}">
    <ui:inputSelectOption label="-Select-" value="true"/>        
    <aura:iteration items="{!v.lstLevel1}" var="value">          
      <ui:inputSelectOption label="{!value}" text="{!value}" />
    </aura:iteration>
  </ui:inputSelect>
  <span>Level 2</span>
  <ui:inputSelect aura:id="ddLevel2"  change="{!c.getSelectedValue}">
      <ui:inputSelectOption label="-Select-" value="{!v.clrlv1}"/>        
    <aura:iteration items="{!v.lstLevel2}" var="value">          
      <ui:inputSelectOption label="{!value}" text="{!value}" />
    </aura:iteration>
  </ui:inputSelect>
    <span>Level 3</span>
  <ui:inputSelect aura:id="ddLevel3" >
    <ui:inputSelectOption label="-Select-" value="{!v.clrlv2}"/>        
    <aura:iteration items="{!v.lstL3}" var="value">          
      <ui:inputSelectOption label="{!value}" text="{!value}" />
    </aura:iteration>
  </ui:inputSelect>
    <lightning:button variant="brand" label="Save" onclick="{!c.onConfirm}" />
</aura:component>

This got fixed because I not refreshing the Level 3 picklist when the Level 1 picklist was getting changed,so added an onchange at Level3

Also copied getSelectedValue to Helper at getLvl1 function using helper.getSelectedValue(component,event,helper); (It is to be remembered one good use of helper class is this when we need some code or method to be repeatedly called,so its better to put that function in helper ) and called again at component also changed the <ui:inputSelect with new aura components like <lightning:select

Here is component
