How often should I clean the filter on a KitchenAid dishwasher?

KitchenAid generally suggests checking the filter monthly, more often if you rarely pre-rinse. Twist it out, separate the parts and rinse them under warm water. A clean filter prevents many cleaning complaints.

The dishwasher in our older Rock Hill kitchen leaks from the front. What causes that?

A worn door gasket, an unlevel install or the wrong detergent producing too many suds are the usual causes. Check that the unit sits level and use only dishwasher detergent. If it still leaks, we inspect the gasket, the tub and the door hinges.

Our rental dishwasher near downtown Rock Hill won't drain. Can you come while the tenant is home?

Yes. Many of these calls turn out to be a clogged filter or a blocked drain hose, which we can often clear on the spot. If the pump has failed, we quote the part to the owner before replacing it.

KitchenAid Dishwashers: What We Check First

KitchenAid dishwashers are built on Whirlpool's platform, with a stainless tub, a wash motor and pump at the base, a separate drain pump, and an electronic control that manages fill, wash and dry. Many models have a third rack and extra spray features. Since roughly the early 2010s, most use a two-part manual filter in place of the older food grinder, which keeps them quieter but makes routine cleaning the owner's job.

Manual filter clogged, causing gritty or cloudy dishes
Control board or touch panel failure with blinking lights
Wash motor humming but not spinning the spray arms
Drain pump jammed by debris, leaving water in tub

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our KitchenAid dishwasher repair guide.

Retrofits into older cabinets

Plenty of older Rock Hill homes had a dishwasher added during a kitchen update, sometimes into a space that was not built for one. Drain hoses run long distances to the sink, supply lines may be old, and the unit may not be anchored or level. Those details cause leaks at the door, kinked drains and water left in the tub after the cycle.

Start with the simple checks. Clean the filter in the bottom of the tub, run the kitchen tap until the water is hot before starting a cycle, and confirm the drain hose has a high loop under the sink. If water appears on the floor, turn off the dishwasher's breaker and the valve under the sink before anything else.

What a technician does on the visit

Rock Hill's municipal water comes from the Catawba system, so cloudy glasses are more often a rinse-aid or detergent issue than a sediment problem. When the machine itself is at fault, we test the drain pump, inlet valve, heater, float switch and controls. We tell you the cause and the price first, and if the tub or door frame is too far gone, we say that a replacement is the better call.
