KitchenAid Dishwasher

KitchenAid KBDS250X

Model # KBDS250X

The KBDS250X is a KitchenAid dishwasher. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from June 2001 to December 2005 and gone after that.

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. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KBDS250X FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its dishwashers as on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is where the KBDS250X plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KBDS250X string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KBDS250X 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 KBDS250X is settled before any figure is put on the work.

With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the filter and the sump on a KBDS250X are the first things to clear, because food debris there accounts for most standing-water complaints. If a KBDS250X still holds water after that, the drain pump or the drain hose run is the next thing to test.
