KitchenAid Dishwasher Lines and Features
What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different
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.

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

What Mullins Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Mullins come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
