A KitchenAid dishwasher in Homeworth wasn’t working properly and needed an icemaker waterline installed. The customer needed their dishwasher fixed and their icemaker waterline hooked up, but what started as a routine repair turned into a more complex issue requiring multiple visits.
The Problem
The customer called needing their dishwasher fixed and their icemaker waterline hooked up. During our first visit, we discovered the dishwasher had a stored error code for a float switch error.
Diagnosis
On our initial service call, the dishwasher had a stored error code for a float switch error. After clearing the error code and performing visual and physical inspection of the float switch, it appeared to be functioning correctly. However, the issue returned, and due to the error codes present and lack of symptoms, the circuitboard needed to be replaced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: AQU1410-10′ I/M CONN HOSE — icemaker connection hose
- Work performed: Cleared error code, inspected float switch, installed braided stainless water line from fridge through floor
- Result: Water line installed for plumber connection, circuitboard replacement quoted to customer
Is It Worth Repairing?
KitchenAid dishwashers are generally well-built appliances worth repairing, especially when the issue is electronic rather than mechanical. Control board replacements can extend the life of these units significantly. However, multiple electronic failures may indicate it’s time to consider replacement depending on the unit’s age.
Maintenance Tips for KitchenAid Dishwashers
- Clean the filter at the bottom of the tub monthly to prevent float switch issues
- Run dishwasher cleaner through a cycle every 3 months to prevent buildup
- Check door seals regularly for debris that could cause leaks and trigger error codes
