KitchenAid KUDS03CT

Model # KUDS03CT

KUDS03CT is one of the dishwasher model numbers KitchenAid carried in the United States. No published specification for this model was recovered. Rather than fill the gap with a figure borrowed from a similar-looking number, this page says only what the sources actually carry. It appears on KitchenAid’s US product site in May 2012 and nowhere after that.

That puts a KUDS03CT roughly ten to fifteen years into service, the point at which the door seal, the pump and the spray system tend to need attention. The KUDS03CT is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDS03CT FAQ

For a KUDS03CT, look on the left edge of the dishwasher's door. That is the location KitchenAid publishes for its dishwashers, and the label there is the authoritative source for the number - front-panel badging and box labels often differ from what is actually on the KUDS03CT.

Sometimes, yes - a discontinued model like the KUDS03CT can mean waiting on a specialist supplier for an obsolete part. We establish that on a KUDS03CT before the job starts, so the choice between waiting, substituting where a substitute genuinely exists, and replacing the machine is yours to make with the facts in front of you.

Almost always the filter, the sump and the drain hose rather than anything electrical. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, those parts of a KUDS03CT can be cleaned by hand. A KUDS03CT that still smells after that usually has a drain hose sitting low enough to hold standing water.
