The KUDE40FXSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US dishwasher catalogue. 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. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from April 2014 to May 2015, and nothing was captured for it afterwards.
KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDE40FXSS0, KUDE40FXSS3, KUDE40FXSS6. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDE40FXSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDE40FXSS 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. Discontinued does not mean unrepairable, but it does mean availability of the specific part for a KUDE40FXSS is established before any figure is put on the job.

Most Common Issues on This Model
Wash motor bearing wear, heard as a rising whine or grinding through the cycle
A door latch or latch switch that no longer tells the control the door is shut, so the cycle will not start
A perished door seal, showing as damp on the floor in front of the machine rather than an obvious flood
A heating element that has lost continuity, so the load comes out clean but cold and wet
