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 leaking. Locate where the leak starts, then check the inlet hose and valve, leveling, door gasket, door latch and that automatic dishwasher detergent is being used. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Leaks
- 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
