Drying System

During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.

IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.

Overfill Protection Float

The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.

Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.

The KitchenAid KUDM25SH and KUDI25CH dishwashers showcase the brand's commitment to innovative design and advanced technologies, making them standout appliances in any modern kitchen. Both models combine a sleek aesthetic with powerful performance features tailored to meet diverse household needs.

One of the key features of the KitchenAid KUDM25SH is its ProWash Cycle.

The strategically designed wash arms and insulated tanks minimize sound without compromising cleaning effectiveness.

For flexibility in loading, both dishwashers feature an adjustable upper rack, allowing for easy accommodation of taller items, such as stemware or large baking dishes. The KUDM25SH incorporates the Soft Grip stemware holders, while the KUDI25CH includes a dedicated third rack for utensils or small kitchen tools, maximizing the available loading space.

In terms of cleaning technology, both models come equipped with a powerful filtering system that traps food particles to ensure they do not redeposit on clean dishes. The high-efficiency wash system uses a combination of high-pressure spray jets and heated water to dissolve tough stains, resulting in sparkling clean dishes.

Innovatively designed interiors enhance usability and convenience in both dishwashers. They boast stainless steel interiors, which resist odors and stains, while the smooth surface makes for easier cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the models feature a sleek control panel that is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing users to select from multiple wash cycles and options effortlessly.

Energy efficiency is a priority for KitchenAid, and both the KUDM25SH and KUDI25CH have earned Energy Star certification, meaning they consume less water and energy than standard models, contributing to lower utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint.
