KitchenAid KUDU03STSS

Model # KUDU03STSS

KitchenAid sold the KUDU03STSS as part of its US dishwasher range. No published specification for this model was recovered, and none is invented here to fill the space. The archive of KitchenAid’s US product site holds it from May 2012 through to November 2017, 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 KUDU03STSS0, KUDU03STSS1, KUDU03STSS2, KUDU03STSS3. A plate reading one of those is still a KUDU03STSS; the suffix identifies which production revision you have, and it occasionally decides which version of a part fits. A machine of that age has had enough cycles for the door seal, the pump and the spray system to have moved on from new, and that is where diagnosis usually starts on a KUDU03STSS. The KUDU03STSS is no longer made, so what can actually be obtained for it is the first thing looked at, not the last.

FAQ

KitchenAid KUDU03STSS FAQ

On the left edge of the dishwasher's door is where KitchenAid says the label is, and that holds for the KUDU03STSS. The label there gives the model and the serial. Copying the KUDU03STSS string character by character is worth the extra minute, since one letter separates several different machines.

On a discontinued machine like the KUDU03STSS there is a reasonable case for it: clearing filters, checking seals and confirming the electrical connections are sound is cheap, and it catches the wear items on a KUDU03STSS while they are still ordinary parts rather than emergencies.

An intermittent leak on a KUDU03STSS normally comes from the door seal or from a drain connection that only weeps while the pump runs. With the dishwasher switched off at its supply and the machine pulled forward, the seal face and the hose clips on a KUDU03STSS are the two places checked first.
