- 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.)

A: I did extensive research on dishwashers, Bosch 500/800 and KitchenAid have the least amount of repair calls. But, all makes do get their fair amount. I went to Best Buy to get the Bosch 500, they were actually out of stock and it was on back order for 3 more months. I ended up getting the KitchenAid KDTE204KPS, this is the next down from pop open door. It was on sale for $854.99. Super quiet, and dries dishes very well. 3rd rack on top is shallow, just for flatware. Next one up does have deeper third rack. Very pleased with this dishwasher and would recommend to others to buy. I previously had a 46 dB Whirlpool. To answer your question, It was quiet too, but not a huge difference between the Whirlpool and new KitchenAid @ 39 dB.
Q: Are there options for the door handles? I don't like the red ends shown in the picture.
A: Yes, there are two (2) other color options for the medallions at each end of the handle. The dishwasher ONLY comes with all red medallions. The optional colors can be purchased separately for less than ten bucks a pair as follows: Chrome with Red Lettering (Part Number W10846205), and Black with Red Lettering (Part Number W10846206). You can look for these part numbers on the internet. The handle and the medallions can be removed and reinstalled with an allen wrench. If you don't like any of the optional medallion colors, you can always remove and paint the medallions that come with the dishwasher.
A: Yes.
Q: Does this model have leak detection?
A: Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. Upon further research, none of our Dishwashers have a leak detection feature. We hope this information helps.
A: 24 width x 24 depth x 34.5 height is a standard opening. With the adjustable legs all the way in its 33.5 but can be adjusted the extra inch to fill the gap.
Q: How long is shortest cycle?
A: About 1 hr. In express with heated dry
A: IDK Best Buy installed mine and my machine had NO insulation at all. It was lacking the blanket, the insulation at toe front panel as well as the heavy insulation on the lower sides and rear. I'm certain the installers tossed it all. I'm angry because I paid for this new machine and I feel it is loud. I called Best Buy and got them to order me the insulation blanket, but it doesn't cover the rear and it thinner than the ones I've seen in Kitchenaid install videos. I also got them to order the toe trim panel ones. I'm still missing the side and rear ones that go around the bottom portion.
A: Hello StephenA, the Depth Closed Excluding Handles is 24 1/2" and the Depth Closed Including Handles is 26 3/4". We hope this helps.

Quiet Powerhouse 2 1/2 years in
I purchased this KitchenAid 24" Front Control Dishwasher back in November 2022, and it’s hands down one of the best appliance decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, it has delivered exceptional cleaning performance, and after two years of daily use, it still runs like brand new, average operation 1-2 per week. The ProWash Cycle automatically adjusts to the load and has never let me down — everything from delicate glassware to pots with baked-on food comes out spotless. The 3rd rack is a game changer; it gives so much extra room for utensils and smaller items, freeing up space on the lower racks. This was a must-have for me and it has definitely lived up to the hype. What truly stands out is the quiet operation. At just 39 dBA, it’s so silent that I often have to check the indicator light to confirm it’s even running. That’s been a huge plus in an open-concept home where kitchen noise usually travels. Compared to my old GE (no shade) which we could often hear in operation from our upstairs bedroom. The PrintShield stainless steel finish still looks fantastic, resisting fingerprints and smudges far better than my old dishwasher. It still looks brand new, which is impressive after nearly two years of regular use. Overall, this dishwasher has been a perfect mix of style, reliability, and performance. If you’re on the fence. When we had the repair tech from Geek Squad come out to look at the old machine, we asked his opinion on replacement items (repair wasn't worth the cost) and Kitchen Aid and Bosch were high on his list of recommended brands. I can confidently say it’s been worth every penny.

Dishwasher rusting at 9 months old.
Love the look and style of this dishwasher. Very quiet when its running. Third rack is great as well. Dishes come out very clean. Functions well. Biggest disappointment was that it began to show signs of rust on the top of the dishwasher and the protective coating is peeling off on the bottom of the dishwasher when it was only 9 months old. I mentioned it to two friends that also have KitchenAid dishwashers and one of them showed me rust on their dishwasher that was a little over a year old, and the other friend showed me the coating peeling on their KitchenAid dishwasher as well. I live alone, I am OCD clean type person and can't stand a water stain, so I ensure any and all drops of water are dried up with a towel if they splash on this dishwasher when loading it. I can guarantee this is not due to the user and it's the quality of the product which no longer exists. I can say I'm really disappointed as I do love the look and style of this dishwasher and the how it functions. Unfortunately, with it rusting in under a year, it's only the matter of time before I have to replace it. I paid a premium for quality and a product I expected to last.
