KitchenAid Dishwasher

KitchenAid KUDE48FXSS

Model # KUDE48FXSS

The KUDE48FXSS is a KitchenAid dishwasher. 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. KitchenAid’s US product site carried it from September 2013 to December 2016, 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 KUDE48FXSS0, KUDE48FXSS1, KUDE48FXSS2, KUDE48FXSS3, KUDE48FXSS6. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDE48FXSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDE48FXSS 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. Being out of production, a KUDE48FXSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDE48FXSS FAQ

No - front badging is a series name, not a model number. The KUDE48FXSS 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 KUDE48FXSS 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 KUDE48FXSS, not last.

Not as routine, but a seal that has gone hard is worth replacing before it leaks. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the seal face on a KUDE48FXSS can be inspected by hand: if it no longer springs back when pressed, it is at the end of its life on a KUDE48FXSS and is a small job to change.
