KitchenAid Dishwasher Lines and Features
What a KitchenAid Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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 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
- 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
