KitchenAid Appliance Parts
KitchenAid appliances — refrigerators, dishwashers, and ranges in particular — tend toward higher-end features, and the parts we replace most reflect that: French door and counter-depth refrigerator ice maker assemblies, dishwasher control boards, and range igniters and control panels.
Common Failure Points
Ice maker and water inlet valve failures are the most common refrigerator repairs we see for KitchenAid, similar to most French door designs across brands, while dishwasher control board failures are usually identifiable by unresponsive buttons or a cycle that stops partway through without an obvious cause.
Shared Components with Whirlpool
KitchenAid dishwashers share a number of internal components with Whirlpool, since both brands are part of the same parent company, so if a part isn't listed under your KitchenAid model it's worth checking the equivalent Whirlpool listing.
Depth Matters
Confirm your part against your full model number before ordering — KitchenAid's counter-depth and standard-depth refrigerator lines look similar externally but often use different internal components.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: Are KitchenAid and Whirlpool dishwasher parts the same?
- A: Often, yes, particularly on control boards and pump assemblies, since both brands are made by the same manufacturer. Confirm with the exact part number rather than assuming based on brand.
- Q: My KitchenAid refrigerator's ice maker works but ice tastes or smells off. What should I check?
- A: This is almost always the water filter rather than the ice maker itself — replace the filter first, and if the smell persists, check whether the ice bin itself needs cleaning before replacing any parts.
