We completed a service call in Canton, OH for a customer with two separate appliance issues. Their KitchenAid dishwasher had no power and wasn’t draining, while their KitchenAid refrigerator was leaking water into the freezer compartment.
The Problem
The customer reported that their dishwasher was not draining and had no power. Additionally, their fridge freezer was leaking water into the freezer compartment.
Diagnosis
We found the dishwasher’s thermal fuse had failed, cutting power to the unit. On the refrigerator, the defrost drain tube needed updating and the freezer light bulb was out.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W10402110 thermal fuse, W10619951 defrost drain tube, 8009 light bulb
- Work performed: Replaced the thermal fuse on the dishwasher and installed the updated defrost drain tube on the refrigerator as well as a new light bulb in the freezer compartment
- Result: Dishwasher restored to full operation with proper drainage and power, refrigerator defrost system updated to prevent future water leaks
Is It Worth Repairing?
KitchenAid appliances are built for longevity and typically justify repair costs well into their second decade. Both of these repairs address common maintenance issues that extend the life of quality appliances like these models.
Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Dishwashers
- Check and clean the dishwasher filter monthly to prevent drainage issues and reduce strain on components
- Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a cycle to ensure proper wash temperatures
- Use rinse aid to prevent water spots and improve drying performance
