KitchenAid KUDS03CTSS

Model # KUDS03CTSS

The KUDS03CTSS belongs to KitchenAid’s US dishwasher catalogue. 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 May 2012 to November 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 KUDS03CTSS1, KUDS03CTSS2, KUDS03CTSS3. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDS03CTSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDS03CTSS 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 KUDS03CTSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

A heating element that has lost continuity, so the load comes out clean but cold and wet

02

Spray arm jets and bearings blocked with debris, giving a patchy wash on the upper rack

03

An inlet valve stuck part open or failed shut, so the machine either overfills or never fills

04

Filter and sump blockages, the commonest reason for poor drainage and a smell from the tub

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDS03CTSS FAQ

No - front badging is a series name, not a model number. The KUDS03CTSS 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 KUDS03CTSS 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 KUDS03CTSS, 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 KUDS03CTSS can be inspected by hand: if it no longer springs back when pressed, it is at the end of its life on a KUDS03CTSS and is a small job to change.
