KitchenAid KDTE504DSS

Model # KDTE504DSS

The KDTE504DSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US dishwasher catalogue. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from February 2014 through to September 2015, and no later capture carries it.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KDTE504DSS0. A plate reading one of those is still a KDTE504DSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the door seal, the pump and the spray system to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KDTE504DSS. The KDTE504DSS is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KDTE504DSS FAQ

KitchenAid's stated location for its dishwashers is on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and the KDTE504DSS follows it. The label is the one that matters: it gives the full KDTE504DSS model string and the serial number, which together identify which production revision you have.

It affects supply rather than skill. Most of what fails on a KDTE504DSS is a wear component that is still obtainable, and those repairs stay worthwhile. Where a KDTE504DSS part has genuinely gone out of supply, that is said plainly rather than worked around.

Either the dispenser flap is not releasing or the tablet is being blocked by a dish. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the flap mechanism on a KDTE504DSS is checked for grease and for a broken spring. A tablet that never dissolves on a KDTE504DSS also means the wash water may not be reaching temperature, which is tested separately.
