Inspection and access
I checked the drainage problem on this KitchenAid KDFE104DSS2 dishwasher and found a blockage in the drain line.
Repair and reassembly
The completed service was cleaning the blocked drain path. A separate pump-replacement estimate was listed in the invoice notes, but it was not the repair charged on this job.
Only one useful appliance photo was available after excluding the serial-number label. The completed drain-line service total was $160.
