KFDD500ESS is one of the wall oven model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. 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 sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from August 2015 until September 2017, which is the window the archive records.
Ten years and more into service, a KFDD500ESS is at the age where the door seal, the hinges and the heating elements are the usual suspects. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KFDD500ESS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Oven temperature sensor drift, so the cavity runs hot or cold against the temperature set
Door hinge wear, which lets heat escape at the top of the door and upsets the cavity temperature
A door lock motor or switch stuck after a self-clean cycle, leaving the door latched shut
A thermal fuse or limit device tripped after self-clean, so the oven is dead with nothing on the display
