Know Your KitchenAid Dishwasher
What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different
Most KitchenAid dishwashers use a two-part manual filter (an upper assembly and a lower filter) that must be removed and rinsed by hand, while select models with the Advanced Clean Water Wash System use a maintenance-free microfiltration setup with a cup that catches hard objects.

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 odor or noise. For smells, wipe the interior and clean the filter; for grinding or knocking, rearrange dishes hitting the wash arms and clear items caught in the filter. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide

Local Notes for East Falmouth
Most dishwasher calls in East Falmouth 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
