What a KitchenAid Dishwasher Technician Deals With

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
