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 filling. Check the drain loop height and that the door is fully latched, then look at the inlet valve, the overfill float and the supply valve under the sink. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Not Getting Water
- 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
