How KitchenAid Dishwashers Are Built
KitchenAid calls for the drain hose to loop at least 20 inches above the floor, or to run through an air gap if it connects lower, so dirty water cannot siphon back into the tub. Source: KitchenAid - Checking the Drain Loop Height
Some KitchenAid dishwashers have a Leak Detection System using sensors, a flow monitor and a drip tray that stops the cycle, drains the tub and signals that service is needed. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Leaks
Common KitchenAid Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not filling. Check the drain loop height and that the door is fully latched, then look at the inlet valve, the overfill float and the supply valve under the sink. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Not Getting Water
- Dishwasher not drying. Confirm a heated or fan dry option is selected, especially on quick cycles, and that rinse aid is filled. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Not Drying
