The KDTE204KBL is a current 24″ top-control model in KitchenAid’s tall-tub dishwasher lineup, built on the same fill, wash, and drain architecture documented in the error-code section above — the same inlet valve, thermistor, and drain-pump components are what typically need attention on this model too.
Spotting and film issues are usually a water-hardness or rinse-aid problem rather than a mechanical fault, so we check that angle first before assuming a part has failed.
