KitchenAid KDTM384ESS

Model # KDTM384ESS

The KDTM384ESS 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. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from September 2015 through to August 2017, and no later capture carries it.

A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the door seal, the pump and the spray system to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KDTM384ESS. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KDTM384ESS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

Wash motor bearing wear, heard as a rising whine or grinding through the cycle

02

A door latch or latch switch that no longer tells the control the door is shut, so the cycle will not start

03

A perished door seal, showing as damp on the floor in front of the machine rather than an obvious flood

04

A heating element that has lost continuity, so the load comes out clean but cold and wet

FAQ

KitchenAid KDTM384ESS FAQ

On the left edge of the dishwasher's door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KDTM384ESS. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KDTM384ESS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KDTM384ESS there is a reasonable case for it: clearing filters, checking seals and confirming the electrical connections are sound is cheap, and it catches the wear items on a KDTM384ESS while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

A long cycle on a KDTM384ESS usually means the water is not reaching temperature in the expected time, so the control holds the programme. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the heating element and the thermistor on a KDTM384ESS are tested for that, and a scaled element is a common finding.
