KitchenAid Dishwasher Lines and Features
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
Select models have a Fan-Enabled ProDry system that pairs the heating element with a fan to circulate hot air after the wash. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide
What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
