Will it fit?

Measure your space before you buy — this is the first question, before price or running cost.

We don't have published fit dimensions for this exact model yet. Measure your space and doorway path before buying — width, depth with the door open, and the path from the door to the install spot. Check the manufacturer's own spec sheet for exact numbers.

Our verdict

This is a 12-place-setting built-in dishwasher from KitchenAid. It costs about $51 a year to run — more than about 8 in 10 dishwashers we track. We don't have a published noise rating for this model — dishwasher noise varies a lot between models, so check it before buying if a quiet kitchen matters to you.

Buy this appliance

We haven't matched this model to a live, verified retailer listing yet. We only show a price when we've verified the exact product — search the model number directly at a retailer below instead of guessing from a photo or a similar model.

Links marked "search" take you to that retailer's own search results for this model number, not a guaranteed product page — we can't confirm what they have in stock. Links marked "exact match" are a UPC-verified listing for this precise model. See our affiliate disclosure.

Noise — the spec that matters most for a dishwasher

We don't have a published dBA (decibel) rating for this exact model — not every manufacturer discloses it. As a rough guide, quieter dishwashers run in the low-to-mid 40s dBA and louder ones run in the 50s; ask for the dBA spec directly if a quiet kitchen matters to you.

Reliability & ownership

Recalls

We don't make per-model recall claims — the CPSC's own recall records are almost never tagged with a specific model number, only a brand and product type. Search the federal recall database yourself for KitchenAid dishwashers before you buy or if something seems wrong with yours.

Documented litigation

We haven't found documented litigation for KitchenAid dishwashers in our research. That doesn't mean none exists — it means we haven't verified any yet.

Warranty

Warranty terms for this exact model aren't in our research pass yet — check the manual link below or the manufacturer's own listing.

Manual & support

We don't have a verified manual link for this exact model yet. Search the model number at the manufacturer's own support site.

Your repair rights — depends on your state

Several states now give you a legal right to request parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer to repair your own major appliance — but this is not a national right yet, and it's enforced by the state attorney general, not something you can sue over yourself.

  • California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota — in force now (CA since 7/1/2024, CO since 1/1/2026, OR since 2025, MN since 7/1/2024).
  • Connecticut — takes effect 7/1/2026.
  • New York and Texas — appliances are explicitly excluded from those states' repair laws. A blanket "you have the right to repair" claim would be false there.
  • Everywhere else — no appliance-specific repair-rights law found as of this writing.

Commonly reported failure points

We haven't compiled a cited, category-level "commonly reported failure points" list for dishwashers yet — we'd rather leave this blank than guess.

Sources. Efficiency and capacity ratings from DOE certification (CCMS) and ENERGY STAR certification data. Annual running cost is computed by Verified Appliance Data from published ratings and EIA energy prices — see our methodology. Dimensions, plug/electrical, warranty, manual links and price (where shown) come from manufacturer spec sheets, manuals, and — for price only — a UPC-verified Amazon match; every enrichment fact carries its own source and retrieval date. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
