What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different
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

What Alvin Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Alvin 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
Questions to Ask a Alvin Technician
- If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?
- Do you also handle the water supply and drain connections, or should I call a plumber for those?
- If the dishwasher is leaking, will you pull the kick panel to find where the water starts?
