KitchenAid KDTE104E Dishwasher Repair
The revision code KDTE104ESS3 appears on the plate of the KDTE104E, so when we order a pump or a diverter we match the code and not only the model number. These dishwashers are common under counters in homes served by hard water, where a chalky film shows up on glassware first.
We examine the heater and sump for scale, run a cycle to see both racks being sprayed, and test whether the pump clears the tub. If a whine develops under load we check the wash motor. Where your water is hard we explain how to limit scale and when descaling helps. We confirm the price in writing before ordering parts, and our work carries a 30-day workmanship warranty. We also check that the supply line and drain hose are routed without kinks, because those affect both fill and drain.
Often it is hard water scale instead. We check the sump and heater for mineral crust and the rinse-aid dispenser, then recommend a descaling routine.
Yes. If the diverter sticks, most of the water goes to one arm. We watch the spray from both racks and test the diverter movement.
The motor has power but the impeller is stuck or the sump is blocked. We clear debris and test pump rotation before deciding whether to replace it.
