KitchenAid KUDS03FTPA

Model # KUDS03FTPA

The KUDS03FTPA is a KitchenAid dishwasher. 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. The only dated record of it is a capture of KitchenAid’s US product site from May 2012.

KitchenAid appends a production-revision code to the base number on the rating plate, and the codes actually observed for this model are KUDS03FTPA0, KUDS03FTPA1, KUDS03FTPA2, KUDS03FTPA3. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDS03FTPA; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A KUDS03FTPA 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. The KUDS03FTPA is discontinued, so the parts question gets answered first and the price second.

Most Common Issues on This Model

01

A door latch or latch switch that no longer tells the control the door is shut, so the cycle will not start

02

A perished door seal, showing as damp on the floor in front of the machine rather than an obvious flood

03

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

04

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

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDS03FTPA FAQ

KitchenAid places the plate on the left edge of the dishwasher's door, so that is where the KUDS03FTPA label will be. Model and serial are printed on the same sticker. Getting the KUDS03FTPA number exactly right matters most on an older machine, where parts diverged between otherwise identical-looking siblings.

Then the job stops there and you are told. The KUDS03FTPA has been out of production for long enough that this is a real possibility on some components, which is why availability for a KUDS03FTPA is checked before a diagnosis is charged for rather than after.

That pattern on a KUDS03FTPA points at the upper spray arm feed rather than the pump: a blocked arm, a split feed tube, or a diverter that is not sending water up. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, each of those on a KUDS03FTPA is inspected in turn.
