Keep up with the tools you use from preparation to the table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and 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.
FreeFlex third rack
The large third rack 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
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.

Q: QuestionCan the “made in America” sticker be removed? If so, does it leave a mark?(4 answers)
A: AnswerJust 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.Answered by Kate
Q: QuestionIs the product made in the USA?(2 answers)
A: AnswerMine has a label on the front low right corner that it is made in the USA.Answered by Albor
Q: QuestionWhat is the duration of each cycle? How do you know how much time is left?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThe 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 loadAnswered by ComfortablyNumb
- A: AnswerYou are probably hearing the blade that pulverizes any food particles so they can be pumped out with the dirty water. I'm used to it now and have plans to put it to the test by not rinsing, or even scraping food off thoroughly, and seeing how it does. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionCan this dishwasher adjust to 33.5 inches tall?(1 answer)
A: AnswerLinny, the Dishwasher's minimum height is 33 1/2".Answered by KitchenAidTeam
- A: AnswerHi 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: QuestionDoes heated dry only work on the ProWash Cycle or does it work on all Cycles?(2 answers)
A: AnswerThere 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.Answered by BEubanks
Q: QuestionHow does the dishwasher fasten to a granite countertop?(3 answers)
A: AnswerThe 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

Good Dishwasher
Having three shelves was a new pleasant experience. My last dishwasher let you choose one to 12 hours for the delayed start. This one only has a single 4 hour delay choice. Adjusting the height of the middle shelf is trivial. In my last dishwasher it was a pain. So far, everything has come out clean.

Excellent all around except the utensil holder
Quiet, does a great job cleaning the dishes, and I love the layout of the racks EXCEPT the utensils holder on the bottom rack. Every other row has holes that are too small for even a normal knife blade so only half of the slots are usable. Otherwise, I would’ve given it five stars. We air dry, so I can’t comment on the drying.
