KitchenAid Dishwasher Repair – Alliance, OH (W10579093A)

A KitchenAid dishwasher on Northview Ave in Alliance wasn’t filling with water despite all buttons working normally. We found a piece of plastic lodged under the float switch that was preventing the fill cycle from starting.

The Problem

The customer reported that all buttons work, but dishwasher will not fill with water. The unit would start its cycle but never progressed past the initial fill stage.

Diagnosis

We inspected the fill system and discovered there was a piece of plastic lodged under the float switch preventing it from filling with water. The float switch is a safety mechanism that controls water level — when debris blocks its movement, the dishwasher won’t fill at all.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None required
• Work performed: Cleared the plastic debris from under the float switch
• Result: After clearing the float, the dishwasher is working correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

KitchenAid dishwashers are well-built appliances that typically last 10-15 years with proper maintenance. This model is worth keeping in service, especially since this repair required no parts — just clearing a blockage that prevented normal operation.

Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Dishwashers

• Check the float assembly monthly for debris — lift the dome-shaped float in the front left corner and ensure it moves freely up and down
• Run an empty cycle with KitchenAid dishwasher cleaner quarterly to remove mineral buildup from internal components
• Clean the bottom dish rack area regularly to prevent small items from falling into the float switch area
