About this Item

KitchenAid 24 in. Built-In Dishwasher with Front Control, 44 dBA Sound Level, 16 Place Settings, 5 Wash Cycles & Sanitize Cycle

44 dBA Dishwasher in PrintShield Finish with FreeFlex Third Rack
Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex Third Rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates and mixing bowls. The Advanced Clean Water Wash System circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks.

Features

FreeFlex Third Rack
The largest third rack available1 has a deep, angled design that fits 6" glasses, mugs and bowls. It features rotating wash jets to clean items in the rack, a drying bar with tabs that help wick moisture off glasses and a removable utensil tray for cooking tools.

ProWash Cycle
uses sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle and adapts wash time and water temperature as needed for tough messes or lighter loads, because no two meals or the dishes that result are exactly the same.

Advanced Clean Water Wash System
uses microfiltration to continuously remove food particles during the wash and rinse cycles and circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks. This allows dirty cookware and delicate glassware to be washed together in the same load.

PrintShield Finish
Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.

Additional Features

44 dBA
provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there's no need to wait to run a wash cycle while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open concept kitchens.

Heat Dry Option
heats both the final rinse water and the air inside the dishwasher to help dishes come out dry and ready for your next creation.

Durable Stainless Steel Interior
offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel inside the dishwasher. It resists streaks, stains and odors, while retaining heat to help improve drying.

Adjustable Rows in Middle and Lower Racks
fold down to make room for dishes in a variety of shapes and sizes like roasting pans, serving bowls, colanders and dutch ovens.

Express Wash Cycle
cleans in less time, so you always have the dishes you need while prepping, cooking and entertaining.

Leak Detection System provides peace of mind with three levels of protection against potential sources of leaks, from multiple sensing points with a water flow monitor and drip tray. If the system detects a problem, the dishwasher will stop filling, drain the tub and alert that service is needed.

Adjustable Middle Rack
adds flexibility to fit tall items like a stand mixer bowl. Lower the rack to place large dishes inside or raise it to make room for platters, pitchers, blender jars and more in the rack below.

Extended Heat Dry Option
extends the Heat Dry Cycle time by 14 minutes for items that need extra drying time.

SatinGlide Rails in Third and Middle Racks move smoothly for easy loading and unloading.

Two Stemware Holders in Middle Rack
secure wine glasses along the side of the rack to prevent them from moving around during the wash cycle.

Sani-Rinse Option
eliminates 99.999% of food soil bacteria by adding a high-heat final rinse to sanitize dishes.

Eco Series
Designed with efficiency in mind. Saving you water, energy and money with quality wash and dry performance.*Compared to dishwashers meeting the minimum 2023 Department of Energy efficiency standards

Customers Say

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

This built-in dishwasher combines impressive cleaning power with thoughtful design features that make daily use a pleasure. The whisper-quiet operation lets you run cycles anytime without disrupting household activities, while the ProWash system tackles everything from delicate glasses to heavily soiled pots without pre-rinsing. The versatile third rack's deeper design cleverly accommodates small bowls and cooking utensils, complementing the adjustable middle rack for maximum loading flexibility. While the heated dry function works well for most items, plastic containers may need extra time. The premium stainless steel interior and fingerprint-resistant exterior speak to quality, though some users note longer cycle times compared to older models.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet, efficient and perfect. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything comes out clean, rarely any leftover dirty dishes. The drying cycle is top notch, even plastics come out dry.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bought another Kitchen aid [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my fourth KitchenAid dishwasher for a home that is 60 years old. The first was a 1966 Superba that ran perfect and I only replaced in 1990 just to update which I bought another Superba, ran that one until 2011 and again to update bought another Top line KitchenAid - they didn't call them Superba anymore. My last one was giving me touch panel issues so after 14 years, I decided to go with another KitchenAid top line 440. I do like this one, they made great design improvements with the underneath drip tray for leaks, moved the control panel down so not getting the open close force of latch, move the heat vent back to the front (used be like that years ago). Stainless rollers and wash arms (back to way it used to be). A little bit more noisy than my 2011 but still quiet enough. The only thing I wish they had was a way to adjust the back legs from the front. Some high end dishwashers have front adjustment screws that adjust the rear legs. I had to pull mine out twice to finally get the rear legs right - floors are never even fully across. Anyway, I like this dishwasher, there isn't another one that I would have bought. The third rack is really nice. You can really fit a lot more in this dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dishwasher replacement [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WE have had this dishwasher for a month now. we really like it. the size is great and this is the first time we have had a three-drawer dishwasher. When it runs, you cannot hear it. We replaced our old Kitchen Aid dishwasher with this newer model. The old one lasted about 10 years without an issue. I suspect this one will be as good and last as long as well. Very happy with our purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I waited over six months before purchasing this dishwasher. I did a lot of research on dishwashers, prior to purchasing this one. My prior dishwasher was a Jenn Air, which I truly loved. However this KitchenAid dishwasher far exceeds my expectations. In fact, I rate it above/higher than the Jenn Air. I am well pleased. My only complaint is lack of a light inside the dishwasher, but that's a small thing. It does not take away from my complete satisfaction with this dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The top shelf I love [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my KitchenAid dishwasher. Sometimes it takes a couple of days to fill it up. But it gets them all clean. Love the glass portion the glasses are spotless. My son bought one and I got the same model and he was right it does all the things he said. I didn't like the nickname part no matter what I typed it wasn't accepted.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic dishwasher. I didn't realize how much I would love the third rack. The third rack allows me to have 10 glasses which frees up the second racks for all different kinds of cups, glasses, and bowls. Everything comes out super clean and it is very quiet. I'm so happy to choose this dishwasher over the Bosch I was looking at that had a slim third rack only available for utenstils. I definitely recommend this unit!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Best [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This our second KitchenAid dishwasher and it doesn’t disappoint. When we built our new home we insisted on using quality appliances and this model fulfilled that need. The third rack is more substantial than those in other brands. Very quiet! I have to look at the lights to see if it is running.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking at Bosch models but then saw this Kitchenaid model and really liked quality of it. Seems to be sturdier than the Bosch, the top tray holds different sizes and the lever to raise or lower is sturdier than the Bosch. It cleans really well, is very quiet and best of all the dishes are DRY when done!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great appliance [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our new dishwasher about 3 weeks ago and we love it. It cleans the dishes so well, the glasses sparkle. It holds way more dishes and utensils than our previous dishwasher and its easy to use. It's so quiet, sometimes we forget it's running. A truly great appliance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Elegant and Simple [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dish washer one month ago. I really enjoy the simplicity of using it. Also I think the layout of the dishwater and the dish racks are very well thought of. I absolutely love using it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The third top rack is wonderful [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new KitchenAid dishwasher. I had one for many years in my old home and my new home had a dishwasher included. I really like the third top shelf in this one as some of my silverware has very large handles and they fit perfectly in the slots. Also, it is so quiet that you never hear it running. My dishes sparkle when they come out. I am so glad that I have gone back to KitchenAid. I plan on replacing my stove and refrigerator and going with KitchenAid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Close to perfect dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this dishwasher! It is so quiet and holds so much with the third rack. Everything seems to come out clean and dry. I did a lot of research to find a good replacement from my old whirlpool and this fit my search. I really wanted a machine that wasn't connected to wifi and this was a good option. Happy to have the stainless steel tub, as my previous dishwasher had plastic which cracked and leaked. My only concern is the vent for drying. As with most dishwasher, there is a small vent at the top of the door to allow steam to escape during the drying cycle. Unfortunately, some water collects and when I pull the door down to empty, it spills onto the floor. This could be a slipping hazard or damage my floor. Upon research, this model often has this issue and there doesn't seem to be a fix. I now put a small towel or sponge on the floor where it spills when I empty the dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely awesome, the cleaning the quietness is a welcome experience that we didn't know how much until we had this one installed and are so very happy with the performance from small couple times a week usage to the very large holiday/ family usage they just passed and it worked flawlessly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Supreme Dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher is supreme. Has 3 racks, spring loaded detergent dispenser, cleans and dries great and most importantly.....the quietest dishwasher we've ever had. We can have the tv on just a room away and don't need to turn the volume up. Also important, the wife loves it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this about a month. I love the new 3 rack system but wish in the second tier things would tilt a bit more. They are more likely to capsize than in our old Kitchenaid. Also the door is awfully stiff to open and close. Still, it’s an excellent dishwasher and we are very happy with it.@

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeds Expectations [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher exceeded my expectations. The design of each of the three racks makes them easy to load. The silverware basket accommodates my flatware better than my previous two Kitchenaids. The third rack accepts items that were hard to place safely before.

Does this have a quick, one hour wash?

Yes. It has an express wash that takes a little over an hour. It's a great machine.
