KitchenAid KUDE40FXSP

Model # KUDE40FXSP

KUDE40FXSP is one of the dishwasher model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. 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 March 2011 to July 2012 and gone after that.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDE40FXSP0, KUDE40FXSP1, KUDE40FXSP4, KUDE40FXSP5. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDE40FXSP; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. That puts a KUDE40FXSP 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 KUDE40FXSP has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDE40FXSP FAQ

KitchenAid gives the location for its dishwashers as on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, and that is where the KUDE40FXSP plate sits. It is an adhesive label, typically silver on major appliances, carrying the model number and the serial number together. Read the whole KUDE40FXSP string off the label rather than from memory, because it sits in a family of very similar numbers.

Production of the KUDE40FXSP 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 KUDE40FXSP is settled before any figure is put on the work.

Yes, and it is ordinary maintenance rather than a repair. Scale on a KUDE40FXSP settles on the heating element and in the spray system, and it shortens the life of both. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply between treatments, the filter on a KUDE40FXSP is worth lifting out and rinsing at the same time.
