KitchenAid KUDS01VMSS

Model # KUDS01VMSS

The KUDS01VMSS is a US-market KitchenAid dishwasher. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in August 2005 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 KUDS01VMSS5, KUDS01VMSS7. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDS01VMSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A dishwasher of that vintage is two decades or more into service, and the door seal, the pump and the spray system are long past as-new. Being out of production, a KUDS01VMSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDS01VMSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its dishwashers as on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is where the KUDS01VMSS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KUDS01VMSS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KUDS01VMSS 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 KUDS01VMSS is settled before any figure is put on the work.

Yes, and it is ordinary maintenance rather than a repair. Scale on a KUDS01VMSS 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 KUDS01VMSS is worth lifting out and rinsing at the same time.
