KitchenAid KDFE204K Dishwasher with Third Level Rack Repair

Rated at 39 dBA, the KDFE204K is one of the quieter dishwashers KitchenAid sold, and it has a third level utensil rack along the top. It also appears as the KDFE204KBL, KDFE204KBS, KDFE204KPS and KDFE204KWH.
The quiet motor means trouble is easy to miss until water is left behind, so we listen for a hum without flow at the end of a cycle. The utensil tray adds another moving part, and we test it for smooth travel along its rails.
Between the filter, pump, latch and seal, we can usually find the cause within a single visit. A written price is given before we start, and repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty. A short test cycle at the end shows that every part works together again.
Usually, yes. We inspect the wheels and rail ends of the third level rack and replace the worn ones. We also check that nothing blocks the arm below it.
If water remains in the bottom after a cycle, it is not draining fully. We clean the filter first and then test the drain pump for a hum with no flow.
A stiff door seal can let water seep out at the front. We inspect the seal and the tub edge, then run a cycle with a towel at the base to find where moisture first appears.
