KitchenAid warranty for dishwashers
The short version
KitchenAid covers dishwashers in full for 1 year, then keeps stainless tub and inner door liner and dish racks and electronic controls covered for life. That full coverage is the same as most of the 54 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From KitchenAid's published warranty, checked October 2026.
