The most common problem with a KitchenAid dishwasher is that it does not clean the dishes properly. This can be due to various reasons such as a clogged or faulty pump, a broken spray arm, or issues with the water inlet valve. Other common problems include the dishwasher not draining, leaking, or not starting at all.

To reset the control panel on your KitchenAid dishwasher, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by turning off the dishwasher. You can do this by pressing the "Cancel" button or turning the dishwasher's power off at the circuit breaker.
2. After turning off the dishwasher, wait for about 10 seconds to ensure it completely shuts down.
3. Once the dishwasher is completely off, press and hold the "Control Lock" button for about three to five seconds. This button is usually located on the control panel and may be labeled as "Control Lock" or have a padlock icon.
4. While holding the "Control Lock" button, press and release the "Start" button. Keep holding the "Control Lock" button until the dishwasher beeps or the control panel lights up.
5. Once the dishwasher beeps or the control panel lights up, release the "Control Lock" button.
6. The control panel should now be reset, and you can proceed to use the dishwasher as usual.
Note: The exact steps may vary depending on the specific model of your KitchenAid dishwasher. If these steps don't work for your model, refer to the dishwasher's user manual or contact KitchenAid customer support for assistance.

On average, a KitchenAid dishwasher can be expected to last about 10-15 years. However, the lifespan can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and model quality. With proper care and regular maintenance, a KitchenAid dishwasher can potentially last even longer.
