Description
Features
FreeFlex third rack
The large third rack has a deep, angled design that fits 6" glasses, mugs, and bowls.
It features rotating wash jets to clean items in the rack, a drying bar with tabs that help wick moisture off glasses, and a removable utensil tray for cooking tools. (Among leading brands based on usable volume.)
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
Utilizes 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.
Heat dry option
Heats both the final rinse water and the air inside the dishwasher to help dishes come out dry and ready for your next creation.
Extended heat dry option
Adds drying time for improved results.
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.
SatinGlide® maximum rails in third and middle racks
Allow racks to move effortlessly, even when fully loaded.
Adjustable rows in middle and lower racks
Fold down to make room for dishes in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as roasting pans, serving bowls, colanders, and Dutch ovens.
Two stemware holders in middle rack
Secure wine glasses along the side of the rack to prevent them from moving around during the wash cycle.
Express wash cycle
Cleans in less time, so you always have the dishes you need, while preparing, cooking, and entertaining.
Sani-Rinse option
Eliminates food soil bacteria.

horrible product-customer, service delivery
||Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.It doesnt work/turn on. Literally. I ordered/purchased march 5th 2021. It's now april 12th. I have a dishwasher in my kitchen that does not work n(which I purchased for my disabled elderly father I take care of to be self sufficient somewhat). It was exchanged via chat. Now silence. Cannot tell where exchange dishwasher is at. Showing install APRIL 21ST. . anyone seeing this. Install yourself/take when you buy because best buy has outsourced almost everything and I would give less than a 1 star but they don't go in the negative. You cannot make this stuff up. Oh. And also they sent me a bill/made a payment on a dishwasher I don't have/doesn't work. I'm a grown man. I would cry but I have laugh to keep from losing my mind. Thanks best buy. Really appreciate it

So Quiet
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Ordered online on a Sunday and scheduled delivery for that midweek. Needed a GFI outlet for new appliance and the install company was able to do that. The delivery/install gentleman were great. Spent a lot of time on making sure dishwasher was installed properly and working. Cleaned up afterwards too. As far as a Kitchen Aid dishwasher I couldn’t be happier. It’s soooo quiet we are amazed. The convenient top third rack is so useful for small bowls and items. Better than just having one for flatware. Our old dishwasher was a Kitchen Aid and lasted 15 years. I hope this one does too.

My Choice After Months of Research
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I was in a battle with my insurance company over my roof, and I held out on purchasing a dishwasher until claim was settled. This led to me researching dishwashers for MONTHS! I am so happy with my choice. This dishwasher checked all my boxes. 1. NO top controls or handle. 2. Great at Drying PLASTICS. 3. Fingerprint friendly 4. 3rd rack would be nice. 5. Reliable and Good Brand. 6. Great Reviews. This dishwasher is amazing and lived up to its reviews. Surpassed my expectations. It has cleaned dishes that sat overnight, baked on food, greasy red sauce dishes... cleaned with no prior rinsing/scrubbing!!! The only water left on dishes is if it concaves on dish. I have cups that pool water at the top, but other than that my dishes are dry! I do use Cascade Platinum Rinse Aid and Sam's Members Mark dishwasher pods. The middle rack is so easy to adjust height and on the right side, it can fit taller items. Bottom rack back prong also folds down super easy to adjust for more open space. I did have to remove one of the silverware utensil separators because most of my utensils are thick and round on the ends. It slid off easily. This replaced my 18 year old GE base model that required me to wash the dishes before putting the dishes in dishwasher. I am very happy with my purchase, and Best Buy Geek Squad installers did an excellent job too. They were fast and professional.

Disappointed
Posted .I bought this dishwasher on sept 3rd, installed sept 9th. Worked great until sept 17th when there was an error code for “dishwasher overfills”. No service technician for another week. I guess I had higher expectations for quality and service. Wish I went with Bosch.

Quiet and Capacious
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Love this dish washer! It is very quiet, I barely know it is running. I only hear a soft swishing. The 3 racks are very nice. I like the shallow top rack for small items and long handled utensils Dishes come out very dry which is huge improvement over my last washer The only thing that takes getting used to is how low the bottom rack sits.

The best!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.You really can’t tell if this dishwasher is running, it’s SO quiet. Love the finish which doesn’t show fingerprints. The third rack is much more useful than many other designs which only accommodate flat items. Prefer the recessed handle since I have a galley kitchen. Looks very sleek too. Very happy with this choice.

Q: QuestionCan the “made in America” sticker be removed? If so, does it leave a mark?
Asked by BobE.
- A:Answer Just recently installed a Whirlpool dishwasher with a foil looking "Made in the USA" sticker on the bottom right-hand corner of the front door. I tried to lift it with a fingernail, however it wouldn't budge. I took a microfiber cloth and saturated it with very hot tap water and held it on the sticker for a few minutes. I was able to lift enough of the sticker to grip it with my fingertips and it peeled right off....problem solved.

Q: QuestionCan this dishwasher adjust to 33.5 inches tall?

Answered by KitchenAidTeam
Q: QuestionWhat is the duration of each cycle? How do you know how much time is left?
Asked by flo123.
- A:Answer The ProWash and Normal cycles take about 2 hours and 15 minutes for dishes that have been rinsed off before being put into the dishwasher. The ProWash cycle detects dirt and such and will go longer if needed, hence rinsing the dishes before they go in. That and it smells better if you take more than a day to accumulate a full load
Answered by ComfortablyNumb
Q: QuestionCan you just turn on the heated drying if your dishes are still damp from a previous full cycle?
Asked by CLos.
- A:Answer Hi LOS, the heated dry is considered an additional option that can be added to a cycle but can not be used as a cycle by itself. We hope this helps.
Answered by KitchenAidTeam
Q: QuestionHow does the dishwasher fasten to a granite countertop?
Asked by PapaZ.
- A:Answer The dishwasher has the ability to be mounted to the wood on the side. You're not restricted to mounting to the counter above it. I went with this option when installing mine.
Answered by gjgowey
Q: QuestionDoes heated dry only work on the ProWash Cycle or does it work on all Cycles?
Asked by Ricky.
- A:Answer There is an option for heated dry, which you can choose with any cycle. I don't know if it's automatic when choosing ProCycle because I haven't used that cycle yet, but you can certainly choose to turn heated dry on. Same with the high temperature wash, sanitizing wash, and extended heated dry options. The dishwasher also remembers your settings for each cycle, at least as far as I have experienced.
