KitchenAid KDTM704KPS Dishwasher
24" dishwasher — model notes, common issues and related KitchenAid dishwasher service.
Model overview
What decides how a KDTM704KPS behaves during a cycle is not the outside finish but the hidden parts the model number identifies. Pumps, heating elements, door latch assemblies and control boards can differ between nearby numbers in this 24-inch KitchenAid family, so a guessed diagnosis slows the repair. When a cycle stops early, when water stays in the tub or when the latch refuses to lock, the number tells the technician which parts list applies. The rating label carries the same number, so it can be copied straight onto the form. Give the crew the cycle you were running and how long it ran before it stopped. For the booking form, type KDTM704KPS, describe the stop or the leftover water and note any code shown.

KDTM704KPS is a KitchenAid 24″ dishwasher. The model number is printed on the rating label, usually on the edge of the door or the side of the tub, visible when the door is open; match it letter for letter before booking, because a single letter can change parts.

What sets the KDTM704KPS apart
Six stemware holders on the middle rack and LED interior lighting set the KDTM704KPS apart from a dishwasher without them. The holders keep glasses steady above the spray, while the LEDs show the interior when the door opens. ProDry combines a heating element and fan for drying, and SatinGlide Max rails on the third and middle racks slide smoothly. Capacity is 16 place settings.
Service notes for the KDTM704KPS
Dishes that come out wet or dirty are checked at ProDry, which runs a heating element and a fan, so note whether the fan sounded normal during the dry phase. A cycle that halts early or refuses to start is traced to the latch and the controls on top of the door. Water left in the tub after a run points to the drain path, and the owner can confirm that no racks block the drain or the spray arms. Rack rails that stick are a SatinGlide Max concern, so check whether the middle and lower rack rows move freely. The rated sound level is 44 dBA, so a louder sound should be described with the stage of the cycle where it starts.
Common issues for this model
