KitchenAid KDFE104H Front Control Dishwasher Repair

Most common issues on this model

  1. An inlet valve slow to open when the cycle calls for water
  2. Pump impeller blocked, leaving water behind
  3. Door latch or latch switch that stops a cycle from starting
  4. Clogged filter and spray arm jets leaving a gritty wash

The KDFE104H is a 46 dBA front control dishwasher, and it comes in four finishes: KDFE104HBL, KDFE104HBS, KDFE104HPS and KDFE104HWH. On a front control model the buttons sit on the face of the door, so the wiring runs through the door and sees the most movement.

That is why a dishwasher that ignores a button press, or begins a cycle and then quits, gets the latch and door wiring checked before the board. We also pull the lower rack and filter to look at drainage, because a quiet machine is easy to ignore until water starts to linger.

A short test cycle shows us the fill, wash and drain in sequence. You get a written price before we start, and the work is backed by a 30-day workmanship warranty.

KDFE104HKDFE104H questions
The buttons on my KDFE104H light up but the cycle never begins. What do you check?

We test the door latch switch, since the control waits for confirmation that the door is closed. After that we look at the door wiring, which flexes every time the door opens.

My KDFE104H is quiet but leaves water in the bottom. Why?

A quiet machine can still have a clogged filter or a failing drain pump. We clear the filter and sump, then test the pump motor if the water still lingers.

Do the KDFE104HBL and KDFE104HWH differ inside?

Those letters mark the finish. We use the full model number to confirm parts, though the wash system should follow the same base model as the KDFE104H.
