KitchenAid Dishwasher

KitchenAid KUDE03FTSS

Model # KUDE03FTSS

The KUDE03FTSS is a KitchenAid dishwasher sold in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. The only dated record of it is a capture of KitchenAid’s US product site from February 2016.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDE03FTSS0, KUDE03FTSS1. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDE03FTSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDE03FTSS in use today is about a decade old, and the door seal, the pump and the spray system account for most of what it gets called out for. The KUDE03FTSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

A perished door seal, showing as damp on the floor in front of the machine rather than an obvious flood

02

A heating element that has lost continuity, so the load comes out clean but cold and wet

03

Spray arm jets and bearings blocked with debris, giving a patchy wash on the upper rack

04

An inlet valve stuck part open or failed shut, so the machine either overfills or never fills

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDE03FTSS FAQ

No - front badging is a series name, not a model number. The KUDE03FTSS number comes off the plate on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is the string to work from. Two machines wearing the same front badge can differ in parts, so the KUDE03FTSS plate is what settles it.

Often yes, and where they cannot we say so at the point we find out, so you are not billed for work that cannot be completed. That check comes first on a discontinued model like the KUDE03FTSS, not last.

With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, lifting the racks and rinsing the spray arms of a KUDE03FTSS through is reasonable owner maintenance, and it does sometimes restore a patchy wash on its own. If the KUDE03FTSS is still washing unevenly afterwards, the circulation pump or the diverter is the next thing to look at.
