QuestionCan anyone please tell me what the different colors of the indicator lights mean during the cycle (red, green, blue)? What color is the light on the front panel when the cycle is complete?
Asked 6 years ago by Confused.
- Answer "Models with handles have an LED on the front right corner of the door panel that will glow blue for washing/rinsing, red for drying, and white for complete". See User Guide, Page 4, # 7 ".Follow the progress of your dishwasher" https://www.kitchenaid.com/content/dam/global/documents/201705/UserGuide-W11040100-RevA(ECO).pdf

QuestionHow long are the wash cycles? If there's more than one, how long is the shortest? longest?
Asked 8 years ago by andy.
- Answer 15 minutes for rinse only 1 hour for Express wash 3 hours for the longest wash 2+ hours for the "normal" wash Oddly, the Express wash uses more energy than the Normal wash If you are interested in how Express cleans, I'd say it's comparable to Normal -- but again you pay more for the shorter cycle. Mostly we use Normal or Pro wash -- Pro figures out how long to run based on how dirty the dishes are. Typically it takes two and a half hours. But, the dishes ARE 99.9% DRY.

QuestionCan the third rack that I hear so many people complaining about be removed?
Asked 6 years ago by Lizzie.
- Answer That’s kind of the trouble with reviews. People are always pointing out the negative. If you don’t like the third shelf buy a dishwasher without one. I love it. I would not want to take it out. Plus the middle rack goes up and down so you can lower it to have more room.

QuestionDoes this model offer a half load, or top racks only wash option? I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher currently and love it's quite, however we are installing a second one and I need the half load option. Thank you
Asked 7 years ago by Nana7.
- Answer No, it doesn't have the half load option, but it has something much better: ProWash - Soil Sense. It auto detects the load size, soil amount and uses energy and water proportionally. Very economic. We don't worry about how many things we put inside

QuestionMy white light comes on indicating cycle is done but we still hear a noise like a pump or something still on. Is this normal?
Asked 6 years ago by 5506.
- Answer 5506, on some models it is also normal to hear a humming noise after the cycle is complete. Some models are equipped with a fan, which will run for approximately 50 minutes after the "Clean" light has come on. This gives additional air movement to dry dishes, and remove heat. Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our KitchenAid Appliances!

Questionis it really quite?
Asked 7 years ago by Shaggy.
- Answer Yes, I barely hear it running. I wasn't quite sure what the difference in decibels would really translate too, but the Bosch was very noisy from the first time I ran it. I wondered if there was something wrong with that unit because it was rated so high for noise. The Kitchen Aid is so quiet you have to look at the indicator light to see if it's still going. Hope that helps!

QuestionThe instructions say to not rinse the dishes. Is this intended only for the pro wash cycle, because it has a sensor for soiled dishes, or should I not rinse for the normal cycle too?
Asked 6 years ago by Joanie.
- Answer I have run a total of 4 loads so far. I typically rinse dishes regardless of the machine or cycle it runs. It will keep the crud out of your drain area in the machine and help keep your drainage pipe clearer longer. I will say, EVERYTHING comes out perfectly cleaned AND dry! Also, make sure to look at suggestions on properly loading your dishes. Very good tips. Hope this helps!
