Use the pocket handle to open this 24-inch KitchenAid dishwasher, and discover a third-level rack that accommodates hard-to-place items. The ProWash option adjusts cleaning cycles in real time for exceptional results, and a recessed heating element ensures dishes dry completely. This KitchenAid dishwasher has a PrintShield finish to minimize fingerprints and smudges.
A: I am having the same problem. I think we should start a Class Action lawsuit against KitchenAid. It is clearly a manufacturing issue and they are hoping we will go away. Anyone else interested in filing a suit against KitchenAid as a Class?
A: It displays dashes - - - - - - which disappear one by one as time elapses on the cycle. When there are no dashes left it displays the word clean. It’s very subtle.
Q: The height states 34.5 inches but cutout height states 34. My cut out is 34 in. high. Will this fit?
A: Yes. i called Kitchenaid with the same question. They found in the manual that the size will work by lowering the bottom to the floor without the 4 little pillars and if needed, pare down the insulation above. My unit was installed at 34.5 inches and fits and looks fine.
A: I don't use it for silverware - I use it for silicone spatulas, the flat beaters of a stand mixer, even the sink mat (which cleaned up beautifully). I think larger items would do better there that smaller utensils.
Q: What is the average length of a normal wash and dry cycle?
A: It seems to be about 3hrs!
Q: Is the third shelf rack removable to allow for taller items in the second shelf?
A: Yes, the 3rd rack is removable. The middle rack can be adjusted up or down to accommodate taller objects very easily.
Q: does the filter clean itself or do you need to clean it?
A: No, this is not a self cleaning dishwasher.
Q: How quiet is the washer when it is running?
A: The dish washer is very quite. Sometime you forget it is running in the background. If you stand next to it you will hear the water drain into sink (very little sound). I'm happy with this model.
