KitchenAid Dishwasher

KitchenAid KUDE48FXPA

Model # KUDE48FXPA

The KUDE48FXPA is a US-market KitchenAid dishwasher. No published specification for this model was recovered — no dimension, no capacity, no feature list — so none is stated here, and no figure has been taken from a neighbouring model number. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from September 2013 through to January 2016, 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 KUDE48FXPA6. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDE48FXPA; 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 KUDE48FXPA. Since the model is out of production, we settle what can still be supplied for it before the work is quoted.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDE48FXPA FAQ

On the left edge of the dishwasher's door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KUDE48FXPA. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KUDE48FXPA string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KUDE48FXPA there is a reasonable case for it: clearing filters, checking seals and confirming the electrical connections are sound is cheap, and it catches the wear items on a KUDE48FXPA while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

A long cycle on a KUDE48FXPA usually means the water is not reaching temperature in the expected time, so the control holds the programme. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the heating element and the thermistor on a KUDE48FXPA are tested for that, and a scaled element is a common finding.
