KitchenAid KCDC150K Dishwasher Service
The KCDC150K is an older built-in dishwasher, and the call we hear for it most often is that the top rack comes out dirty while the bottom rack is fine, or the other way around. That points to how water is sent to each wash arm, not to a weak pump.
We check the diverter that directs water between the arms, the arm seals and the arm holes for packed debris, then run the machine to watch spray from both racks. If the diverter is fine we move on to the pump and the wash motor, listening for the whine of a worn bearing, and to the latch, which can stop a cycle from starting. Our price is written before work begins, and the repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Water is switched between the arms by a diverter. If it sticks or a seal has failed, one arm gets most of the flow. We inspect the diverter and arm seals and watch the spray with the racks in place.
You can lift the arm off and rinse it under a tap, then poke out packed seeds or glass from the holes with a toothpick. If the problem remains after that, the diverter is the next thing we test.
It usually means the wash motor bearing is wearing. It will not fix itself, and it can seize. We confirm with the machine running and tell you before ordering a motor.
