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
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not draining after installation. On a new install, check that the disposer knockout plug is out, the disposer is clear, and the drain hose has a high loop or air gap with no pinches or sharp bends. Source: KitchenAid - Newly Installed Dishwasher Not Draining
- Dishwasher not cleaning. Start by loading dishes soiled side down without overcrowding and matching the detergent amount and cycle to the load. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide

What Fort Myers Beach Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Fort Myers Beach come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
