  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

Keep up with the tools you use from prep to table with this dishwasher's three racks of versatile loading possibilities and complete wash coverage. The FreeFlex third rack fits glasses, mugs, bowls, silverware, and cooking tools, freeing up room below for pots, plates, and mixing bowls. The advanced clean water wash system circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks.

  • FreeFlex third rack: The third rack has a deep, angled design that fits 6" glasses, mugs, and bowls.
  • 44dBA: Provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there's no need to wait to run a wash cycle while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open-concept kitchens.
  • Advanced clean water wash system: Uses microfiltration to continuously remove food particles during the wash and rinse cycles, and circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks. This allows dirty cookware and delicate glassware to be washed together in the same load.
  • ProWash cycle: Uses sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle and adapts wash time and water temperature as needed for tough mess or lighter loads.
  • PrintShield finish: Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.
  • Adjustable middle rack: Adds flexibility to fit tall items such as a stand mixer bowl. Lower the rack to place large dishes inside, or raise it to make room for platters, pitchers, blender jars and more in the rack below.
  • Durable stainless steel interior: Offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel inside the dishwasher. It resists streaks, stains, and odors while retaining heat to help improve drying.
  • SatinGlide max rails in third and middle racks: Allow racks to move effortlessly, even when fully loaded.
  • Adjustable rows in middle and lower racks: Fold down to make room for dishes in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as roasting pans, serving bowls, colanders, and Dutch ovens.
  • Two stemware holders in middle rack: Secure wine glasses along the side of the rack to prevent them from moving around during the wash cycle.
  • Express Wash cycle: Cleans in less time, so you always have the dishes you need while prepping, cooking, and entertaining.
  • Sani-Rinse option: Eliminates most of food soil bacteria.
  • Top controls: Tucked away on top of the dishwasher door for a clean look to match your kitchen style. An indicator light on the front of the door changes colors to subtly display cycle progress.
  • Required for installation:: All dishwasher purchases require a dishwasher hookup kit be purchased from Best Buy. Without a hookup kit, your installation will not be completed. Find a hookup kit in the accessories section on this page.

A: The main difference is that the 404 has 2 stemware holders and 604 has 4 stemware holders and the ProDry option with fan assist which 404 does not have- go here for comparison. - https://www.kitchenaid.com/content/kitchenaid/en_us/compare.KDFM404KPS.KDTE204KBL.KDTM604KPS.html (the 404 in the comparison does not have a towel bar but it does come with that option fyi and both have same third rack) For details on the 604: https://www.us-appliance.com/kdtm604kps.html I am opting for the 404 since the fan is just another thing that can break and they don't have the best reliability record to begin with. hope this helps!
