What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different

What KitchenAid Says to Check First
- Dishwasher not starting. Check for sleep mode, control lock or a delayed start, then unplug the unit or reset the breaker for a full minute. Source: KitchenAid - Dishwasher Troubleshooting Guide
- 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
