KitchenAid KUDS03FTSS

Model # KUDS03FTSS

The KUDS03FTSS is one of the KitchenAid dishwashers. 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 shows it in May 2012, 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 KUDS03FTSS0, KUDS03FTSS1, KUDS03FTSS2, KUDS03FTSS3. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDS03FTSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. Ten years and more into service, a KUDS03FTSS is at the age where the door seal, the pump and the spray system are the usual suspects. Being out of production, a KUDS03FTSS has its parts position checked at the outset rather than after a diagnosis.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDS03FTSS FAQ

The plate on the left edge of the dishwasher's door carries everything needed: the full KUDS03FTSS model string and the serial number beside it. With those two, a part for a KUDS03FTSS can be identified before anyone travels out, which saves a wasted visit.

The KUDS03FTSS is out of production, and whether repair beats replacement comes down to which component has gone. A seal, a switch or a control is usually straightforward economics on a KUDS03FTSS; a major assembly on a machine of this age often is not, and we will say which one you are looking at.

Yes, and it is one of the cheaper repairs. Rack rollers and rails on a KUDS03FTSS wear and the rack then drops at one corner. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply, the rollers on a KUDS03FTSS are inspected off the rails, and they are replaced rather than adjusted.
