KitchenAid Dishwasher Lines and Features
How KitchenAid Dishwashers Are Built
An overfill protection float inside the tub must move freely, since an obstructed float can stop the dishwasher from taking in water. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Not Getting Water
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 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
- 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
