The KUDS40CVSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US dishwasher catalogue. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. A single dated capture, April 2010, places it on KitchenAid’s US product site, and nothing after that does.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDS40CVSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDS40CVSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. 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 KUDS40CVSS. The KUDS40CVSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.
