A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us regarding your KitchenAid® Dishwasher, model KDFS324SPS. We understand how important it is to have clear information about maintaining your appliance to keep it performing at its best.
This model features a self-cleaning filtration system designed to continuously provide effective cleaning by removing food particles from the wash water. The great news is that this advanced system is designed to be maintenance-free, meaning it requires no regular cleaning or upkeep from you under normal operating conditions.
However, if you ever find it necessary to check the foreign object cup for items that shouldn't be in the filtration system (like large food chunks or hard objects), you can easily do so by following these three steps:
Remove: To access the cup, first remove the bottom rack of your dishwasher. Grasp the handle of the foreign object cup, located at the bottom of the tub, and turn it 1/4 turn counterclockwise to unlock and lift it out.
Empty: Simply empty any collected debris or foreign objects from the cup into the trash.
Replace: Place the cup back into its housing. Turn it 1/4 turn clockwise until it clicks into the locked position and then replace the bottom rack.
We hope this information helps you enjoy the convenient features of your KitchenAid® appliance!
A:AnswerHello! Yes, you can turn off the heated dry cycle. You would just deselect the option. Thank you for your inquiry about our KitchenAid® appliances.
A:AnswerHello! Yes, you would need a hot water line connection for the Dishwasher to work properly. Hot water is required for a dishwasher because the internal heating element is designed to maintain high temperatures (130 - 140 F) for cleaning and sanitizing, not to heat cold water to that temperature. Using hot water ensures detergent dissolves, cuts grease immediately, and drastically reduces energy usage compared to heating cold water. Thank you for your inquiry about our KitchenAid® appliances.
