What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different

Common KitchenAid Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher odor or noise. For smells, wipe the interior and clean the filter; for grinding or knocking, rearrange dishes hitting the wash arms and clear items caught in the filter. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide
- 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
