How KitchenAid Dishwashers Are Built
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
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
Common KitchenAid Dishwasher Problems
- 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 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

Getting Ready for the Repair

What Albuquerque Owners Should Know
Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority, which supplies Albuquerque, reports hardness of moderately hard to hard, depending on the sources and blend serving each distribution zone. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: ABCWUA: Your Drinking Water FAQs
New Mexico has no appliance-repair-only license; installing, repairing and servicing natural gas piping and listed gas appliances falls under the Construction Industries Division's MM-2 natural gas fitting classification. Source: CID License Classifications and Scopes (City of Albuquerque)
In New Mexico, you can check a license with the NM Regulation and Licensing Department, Construction Industries: Verify a License or report a problem to the New Mexico Department of Justice (Attorney General), Consumer Protection.
