KitchenAid Refrigerator; Dishwasher Repair – North Canton, OH (532, KDTE334GBS0)

A North Canton homeowner called about two appliance issues: dishes not drying in their KitchenAid dishwasher and an icemaker that wouldn’t work in their Sub-Zero refrigerator. Our diagnostic revealed different solutions for each problem.

The Problem

The customer reported that dishes are not drying in their KitchenAid dishwasher. Additionally, the icemaker in their Sub-Zero fridge doesn’t work.

Diagnosis

For the dishwasher, we found error codes that needed clearing. The refrigerator icemaker was cycling around but not filling with water. Testing revealed the icemaker water valve was open, but it was completely rusted off the bottom of the fridge with no good way to repair it.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts used
• Work performed: Cleared error codes on dishwasher and advised customer to refill the rinse aid
• Result: In the automatic test, all functions seem to be working properly on the dishwasher

Is It Worth Repairing?

For the dishwasher, this was a simple fix that restored proper operation. The refrigerator icemaker presents a more complex situation — when water valves rust completely off and there’s no feasible repair method, replacement of the entire icemaker assembly or switching to a portable ice maker may be more cost-effective options.

Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Dishwashers

• Keep rinse aid dispenser filled to ensure proper drying performance
• Run monthly cleaning cycles with KitchenAid dishwasher cleaner to prevent error codes
• Check and clean the dishwasher filter regularly to maintain optimal water circulation
