KitchenAid Dishwasher Lines and Features
How KitchenAid Dishwashers Are Built
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. KitchenAid says to clean food buildup out of the filter first, and on a newly installed unit to confirm the garbage disposer knockout plug was removed. 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
