KitchenAid KUDU03FTPA

Model # KUDU03FTPA

KUDU03FTPA is one of the dishwasher model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. 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. The only dated record of it is a capture of KitchenAid’s US product site from May 2012.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDU03FTPA0, KUDU03FTPA1, KUDU03FTPA2. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDU03FTPA; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDU03FTPA in use today is about a decade old, and the door seal, the pump and the spray system account for most of what it gets called out for. Being out of production, a KUDU03FTPA has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDU03FTPA FAQ

KitchenAid places the plate on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, so that is where the KUDU03FTPA label will be. Model and serial are printed on the same sticker. Getting the KUDU03FTPA number exactly right matters most on an older machine, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

Then the job stops there and you are told. The KUDU03FTPA has been out of production for long enough that this is a real possibility on some components, which is why availability for a KUDU03FTPA is checked before a diagnosis is charged for rather than after.

That pattern on a KUDU03FTPA points at the upper spray arm feed rather than the pump: a blocked arm, a split feed tube, or a diverter that is not sending water up. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, each of those on a KUDU03FTPA is inspected in turn.
