KitchenAid KDFE304DSS

Model # KDFE304DSS

The KDFE304DSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US dishwasher catalogue. 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 sat in KitchenAid’s US catalogue from March 2015 until August 2015, which is the window the archive records.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KDFE304DSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KDFE304DSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. Ten years and more into service, a KDFE304DSS is at the age where the door seal, the pump and the spray system are the usual suspects. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KDFE304DSS FAQ

The plate on the left edge of the dishwasher's door carries everything needed: the full KDFE304DSS model string and the serial number beside it. With those two, a part for a KDFE304DSS can be identified before anyone travels out, which saves a wasted visit.

The KDFE304DSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a switch or a control is usually straightforward economics on a KDFE304DSS; a major assembly on a machine of this age often is not, and we will say which one you are looking at.

Not necessarily, and it is the last thing assumed. On a KDFE304DSS a cycle that stalls is more often a fill or drain fault, or a float switch held up, than a failed control. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, those are proved first on a KDFE304DSS before any board is condemned.
