- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
- Operating Sound Level: 44 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and a complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware, and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced Clean Water Wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks, and the fan enabled ProDry system provides thorough drying, so dishes come out ready for more enjoying.
- FreeFlex third rack: The largest third rack available has a deep, angled design that fits 6" glasses, mugs, and bowls.
- 44dBA: Provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there's no need to wait to run a wash cycle while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open concept kitchens.
- Advanced Clean Water Wash system: Uses microfiltration to continuously remove food particles during the wash and rinse cycles and circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks. This allows dirty cookware and delicate glassware to be washed together in the same load.
- ProWash cycle: Uses sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle and adapts wash time and water temperature as needed for tough messes or lighter loads because no two meals or the dishes that result are exactly the same.
- PrintShield finish: Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy-to-clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.
- Adjustable middle rack: Adds flexibility to fit tall items, such as a stand mixer bowl. Lower the rack to place large dishes inside, or raise it to make room for platters, pitchers, blender jars and more in the rack below.
- Extended ProDry option: Extends the ProDry cycle time by 15 minutes for loads that need extra drying time.
- Durable stainless steel interior: Offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel inside the dishwasher. It resists streaks, stains, and odors while retaining heat to help improve drying.

- Express wash cycle: Cleans in less time so you always have the dishes you need while prepping, cooking, and entertaining.
- Sani-rinse option: Eliminates most of food soil bacteria.
- Top controls: Controls are tucked away on top of the dishwasher door for a clean look to match your kitchen style. The indicator light on the front of the door changes colors to subtly display the cycle progress.

A: Another vendor has a great breakdown of all the levels of the models, but there is an unlabeled version on the KitchenAid website, https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/dishwashers/third-rack.html (under STYLE Make it your own). Each includes the feature(s) of the lower level(s) plus the additional feature for that level. 404 = FreeFlex Third Rack 604 = Fan-Enabled ProDry System 704 = LED Interior Lighting 804 = Stainless Interior Accents
A: So I finally got in touch with someone at kitchenaid that was able to at least provide me some information. She said that the fan can run up to 8 hours after wash was completed or until the door is opened. I don’t think I have tried it for that long so I will let it hit 8 hrs and see if it turns off and report back
A: I was compare shopping the 404KPS and 604KPS. The big difference I saw was the "Pro-dry" feature on the 604KPS. We spent the $100 and got the 604KPS. My wife says the Pro-Dry is worth the money. She says it works very well. It dries much better than any dishwasher we have ever had.
Q: Does it have a food grinder for hard particles? Is the filter removable for cleaning?
A: Hi techno. This KitchenAid® Dishwasher does not have a food grinder. You are able to remove the filter for cleaning.
Q: can you remove third rack Flex Free
A: Yes, you can remove both upper racks and the middle one can be moved up and down. The very top rack has a utensil rack that can also be removed. We cook a lot, and both my husband and I love the way this machine loads. The company clearly has put a lot of thought into it.
A: Two different models of the same machine. One has a pocket handle and this model has a professional look bar handle with top controls.
Q: can I use this dishwasher if I only have cold water access?
A: The manual states the following: "The dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires a connection to a hot water supply line."
A: Hi RPMM. The pump is protected from large objects entering it by the foreign object cup in the front and below the lower rack. The maintenance free filter system does not require any regular cleaning or maintenance. If this cup fills up with particles or objects, depress the tab in the center and pull up on the cup to remove it. Dispose of the contents and then replace the cup. To replace the cup, put into the opening and push down to lock in place. You can access the product help and demo pages for this unit by going to the following link: http://bit.ly/3eiskvp

Super quiet and actually dries the dishes
I am really happy with this KitchenAid top control dishwasher. It looks great in stainless and the controls on the top give it a clean built in look. It is very quiet while running and you can barely hear it even when the kitchen is completely silent. The cleaning power is excellent. I have tested it with dried on food and baking dishes that usually need to be soaked and everything has come out spotless. The third rack is more useful than I expected for utensils, kids cups and odd shaped items and it frees up a lot of space on the lower racks. The interior layout feels solid and well made, not flimsy like some other brands we have owned. The fan assisted ProDry feature has been a big plus. Dishes come out dry, even a lot of the plastic items, so we are not standing there hand drying everything after a cycle. The price is on the higher side, but you can tell where the money goes in terms of build quality, quiet operation and performance. Overall I would absolutely recommend this model to anyone who wants a reliable, quiet dishwasher that actually cleans and dries the way it should.

Quiet, Powerful, and Sleek
I am so impressed with my KitchenAid 24 inch Built In Dishwasher. It looks sleek in stainless steel and blends perfectly into my kitchen. The 3rd rack is a game changer for organizing utensils and smaller items. The cleaning power is excellent and everything comes out spotless, even tough loads. I especially love how quiet it is at 44 dBA. You can barely tell it is running, which makes such a difference in an open kitchen. The Fan Enabled ProDry system also does a great job of drying dishes without leaving spots. It is reliable, efficient, and stylish. Definitely one of the best upgrades I have made for my kitchen.

Quiet and spacious, but runs too long
First the positive: It is large inside, fits everything our family of four dirties in one day. It also cleans well. I usually soak dishes in some water if they'll sit around all day so any dishwasher should clean it well. Finally, it's quiet, very quiet. We've had it for two months and use it daily. My big complaint is that it doesn't have a quick wash. The 'express wash' is an hour and ten minutes. Really? And if you don't stop it right after that it goes on drying for hours. This isn't what I want. Why not a half hour cycle like my old one? It should at least be an option for those who want it. I stopped it after an hour just to see and everything was perfectly clean. Annoying. My electricity bill went up. Some efficiency standards! Things that run for longer don't save energy, they use more. Don't tell me it is more efficient, I won't believe it. One more thing - the top rack is awesome. You can actually fit a lot up there like cups and spatulas and shallow bowls.
