How KitchenAid Dishwashers Are Built
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
Common KitchenAid Dishwasher Problems
