KitchenAid KDTE204K Tall-Tub Top-Control Dishwasher Service
The KDTE204K is a 24-inch built-in with the controls on top of the door, a tall tub and a third rack for utensils. At 39 dBA it is meant to be quiet, so any new knocking or humming usually stands out. The KDTE204KBL, KDTE204KBS and KDTE204KPS plates cover finish versions of it.
Spots and film are often a water or rinse-aid matter, so we begin by checking the rinse-aid setting against your water. Then we look at the filter and sump, test fill and drain by running a short cycle, and examine the third rack and its rails for a bent track. Only after those do we consider the parts that cost more. Our price is in writing first, and our work comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Hard water and low rinse aid are the usual reasons. We check the dispenser setting, the filter and the spray arm jets, so you know whether a part is involved.
Often yes. A bent rail or a rack not fully seated in its track causes it. We realign the rails and, if a clip is broken, replace only that.
The machine is quiet, so a loud hum, rattle or grinding is a useful clue. Tell us when it happens in the cycle and we will focus on the pump or the wash motor.
Book in about a minute, or call the desk. Same-day windows inside the Loop on most days, next-day across the rest of Houston.
