What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different
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
An overfill protection float inside the tub must move freely, since an obstructed float can stop the dishwasher from taking in water. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Not Getting Water
