KitchenAid sold the KDTE104DSS as part of its US dishwasher range. 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 March 2014 until June 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 KDTE104DSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KDTE104DSS; 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 KDTE104DSS is at the age where the door seal, the pump and the spray system are the usual suspects. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KDTE104DSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
An inlet valve stuck part open or failed shut, so the machine either overfills or never fills
Filter and sump blockages, the commonest reason for poor drainage and a smell from the tub
A float switch held up, which the control reads as an overfill and stops the cycle
Control board and touch panel faults after years of steam and heat cycling
