A KitchenAid dishwasher in Canton, OH was keeping its owners up at night with continuous running. The unit wouldn’t shut off after completing a cycle, running indefinitely until manually stopped.
The Problem
The customer reported a drain issue with their dishwasher that keeps running. The unit would not complete its cycle and shut off normally, instead continuing to run continuously.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found the wash sensor was dirty, causing the dishwasher to run continuously. The filter and bottom of the dishwasher also contained accumulated debris that needed removal.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None — cleaning service only
- Work performed: Cleaned out filter and bottom of dishwasher, cleaned dirty wash sensor
- Result: Dishwasher now completes normal cycles and shuts off properly
Is It Worth Repairing?
This KitchenAid model is a solid mid-range dishwasher that responds well to proper maintenance. Since this was a cleaning issue rather than component failure, the unit should provide years of reliable service with regular filter maintenance.
Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Dishwashers
- Clean the dishwasher filter 2 to 3 times per year to prevent sensor issues and drainage problems
- Wipe down the door seals monthly to prevent buildup that can affect sensor operation
- Run an empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner every few months to keep internal components clean
