KitchenAid KDTM604KPS Dishwasher
24" dishwasher — model notes, common issues and related KitchenAid dishwasher service.
Model overview
Most owners of a 24-inch KitchenAid KDTM604KPS notice the first problem on the dishes rather than on the machine. Glasses that come out with a film, plates still holding food or a load that never dries are common first signs, and they often show up before any error code. A small puddle in the bottom of the tub after the cycle, or a faint drip near the door, can follow. The door latch and control panel usually show trouble later, so an early note of what you saw can be useful. Jot down the cycle, the water temperature and the time of day. Households in the cities we serve often send that note with the booking. In the booking form, add the model KDTM604KPS and the symptom in your own words.

What sets the KDTM604KPS apart
The KDTM604KPS combines a FreeFlex third rack with fan-enabled ProDry and four stemware holders on the middle rack. At 44 dBA the wash runs at a moderate level, and the middle and lower rack rows adjust for taller or wider loads. SatinGlide Max rails support the third and middle racks, which keeps the basket moving smoothly when it is pulled out.
Service notes for the KDTM604KPS
Cycles that stop early or will not start usually point to a door latch or a control switch, so an owner should check that the door shuts fully and that the control lock is off. Water left in the tub after the cycle is often a filter or a drain restriction that the owner can clear. Leak codes and door problems call for a technician to inspect the base. The FreeFlex rack and the stemware holders can block the spray if a glass is placed poorly, so check the rack after loading. ProDry that leaves dishes damp should be checked for a blocked vent. Share the code and the cycle used when you book.
