KitchenAid KDFE204ESS

Model # KDFE204ESS

Call (844) 405-1464 Schedule a Visit

The KDFE204ESS is one of the KitchenAid dishwashers. No published specification for this model was recovered. What survives is the model number and a dated record of when KitchenAid was showing it, and that is what is set out here. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in September 2015 and nowhere after that.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KDFE204ESS2. A plate reading one of those is still a KDFE204ESS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts a KDFE204ESS roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door seal, the pump and the spray system tend to need attention. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KDFE204ESS is established before any figure is put on the job.

FAQ

KitchenAid KDFE204ESS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its dishwashers as on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is where the KDFE204ESS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KDFE204ESS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KDFE204ESS ended some time ago. That does not rule out a repair - the wear items are largely shared across a generation - but it does mean the parts question on a KDFE204ESS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

Yes, and it is ordinary maintenance rather than a repair. Scale on a KDFE204ESS settles on the heating element and in the spray system, and it shortens the life of both. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply between treatments, the filter on a KDFE204ESS is worth lifting out and rinsing at the same time.
