What Makes KitchenAid Dishwasher Repairs Different
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.

Common KitchenAid Dishwasher Problems
- Dishwasher not draining. KitchenAid says to clean food buildup out of the filter first, and on a newly installed unit to confirm the garbage disposer knockout plug was removed. 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

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.
