What a KitchenAid Dishwasher Technician Deals With
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 KitchenAid Says to Check First
- 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
- 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

Local Notes for Shawano
Most dishwasher calls in Shawano 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
