KitchenAid KDTE554CSS

Model # KDTE554CSS

KitchenAid sold the KDTE554CSS as part of its US dishwasher range. No published specification for this model was recovered, so there is no dimension or capacity quoted on this page. A number lifted from a sibling model would be worse than silence. It was on KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2014 to August 2017 and gone after that.

That puts a KDTE554CSS roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door seal, the pump and the spray system tend to need attention. Being out of production, a KDTE554CSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KDTE554CSS FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its dishwashers as on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is where the KDTE554CSS plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KDTE554CSS string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KDTE554CSS 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 KDTE554CSS 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 KDTE554CSS are the first things to clear, because food debris there accounts for most standing-water complaints. If a KDTE554CSS still holds water after that, the drain pump or the drain hose run is the next thing to test.
