KitchenAid KDTE204D Dishwasher Service

KitchenAid dishwasher

Most common issues on this model

  1. Patchy washing on the top rack from clogged jets
  2. Sediment in the inlet screen cutting the flow
  3. Gritty film on glasses from a dirty filter
  4. Float that no longer rises and falls

A KDTE204D, or KDTE204DBL in black, is usually fitted into a run of cabinets, and a patchy upper rack is the complaint we get most. Food seeds and fragments rise in the spray and clog the narrow jets of the upper arm.

We remove the arm, flush each jet, and check that it turns freely. We then test the inlet valve with the supply on, clean the filter and sump, and move the float by hand. If water is not the problem, we examine the arm mounting for wear that lets the arm wobble. You see the price in writing before any part is ordered. Finishing the visit, we level the machine and confirm the door closes squarely, which keeps the seal and the latch from wearing early.

KDTE204DKDTE204D questions
Why is only the top rack unclean on my KDTE204D?

The upper arm has smaller jets that clog easily. We flush the jets, check the arm bearing and ensure water reaches it with enough pressure.

Could the inlet valve be causing a slow leak?

If it does not seal, water can creep into the tub with the machine off. We test the valve and look in the base pan for moisture.

Is the black model serviced differently?

No. Internal repairs are the same. Only the door panel and trim parts differ, and we match those to the plate number. Only door panels and trim differ by finish, never the parts inside the tub.
