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. Source: KitchenAid - How to Clean a Dishwasher Filter
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 starting. Check for sleep mode, control lock or a delayed start, then unplug the unit or reset the breaker for a full minute. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide

Local Notes for Medina
Most dishwasher calls in Medina 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.
