Latest KitchenAid KDTE334GPS Reviews
I have owned this model since 2019. This past year, months after the warranty ended, it began leaking underneath the machine. The sound-deadening access panel prevented us from noticing the leak until it began to damage/warp our wood floor. Then, made the poor decision to repair rather than replace. Within months of this repair, water is now leaking from the left corner of the door, and I can't find the correct replacement part/door seal.
I love the DW by kitchen aid and will purchase nothing else.
After just 3yrs of use, this washer developed a slow leak beneath it, which caused thousands of dollars worth the damage to our kitchen floor and cabinets. Now, not only do I have to pay to get a new dishwasher, I am out $1k for an insurance deductible, AND I have to endure weeks of "mitigation" and construction in the middle of my kitchen. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER KITCHENAID/WHIRLPOOL AS LONG AS I LIVE! Buyer beware.
Lasted just over 2 years, main spray motor failed and was over $625 for repairs. Will be replacing it with another brand. KitchenAid should stick with mixers! This dishwasher is not recommended at all!
This dishwasher has caused us no end of trouble! Ignore the high star rating. this is the worst appliance I've ever had . The fuse broke, the panel had to be replaced, the drain was stopped off and now the dishwasher turns off after five minutes
Steer clear of this dishwasher!!! I purchased a "good named" dishwasher because of their excellent history. However, my dishwasher WILL be 3 years old in late October. Last year, it started moaning---or as my family says, "mooing". Serviceman said it was okay and that it was just the inconvenience of it mooing. In April the front black panel broke----its currently being held on with electrical tape---or it would be a full control panel repair. THEN, the "sump pump" broke----leaking all over the floor. Had that replaced at 70% of the original value of the machine. Submitted my concerns to KitchenAid............fell on deaf ears...........obviously not the same quality as it... Read More
Bought this dishwasher in Oct 2018, and now we need a new motor - to the tune of $350 (it is a year and half old). I called Kitchen Aid to see what if anything could be done. NADA. I should have stuck with Miele - my bad. Wanted to continue buying American - love our Speed Queen washer/dryer (also American made). Only Kitchen Aid appliance I will every buy.
I purchased this dishwasher March of 2019. Although it is a good dishwasher, i have had a problem with it draining completely after a wash cycle. It will leave dirty water at the bottom, which means I have to manually press the "Cancel" button and hold for 3-seconds, to finish draining the last wash. It does not do this every wash load, but i would say about 4 out of 10 loads it does this. If we put a load in and leave for a few days, and it doesn't drain, when we come back and the smell is horrible! Before warranty expired, we had a factory technician come out and he checked the drains and they were all OK. I ask if it could be in the programming of the cycle, he replied he did... Read More
The model 334 does a great job of cleaning dishes, pots and pans. It's a solid machine, well designed and built, that does its work efficiently. Plus it's very quiet. Ignore the trolls, since 90% of their complaints are covered by manufacture warranty (five years on racks)...which they'd know if they really owned this model.
I had a Kitchenaid dishwasher for 11 years. Never a problem. My kitchen sink overflowed and ruined the control panel so I just replaced DW. To repair control panel wasn't worth it. I bought the 334 model a few days ago. What concerns me is leftover condensation on back panel after drying cycle. I have to open door for rear panel to dry. Also red light came on near end (4 hours!). This was normal cycle. Previous washer 1-1/2 hours. Also manual filter concerns me. Previous DW had automatic filter. Never had to clean filter for 11 years! Now I may have to do 1x a year. Disappointed reading negative reviews. Will update opinion in 6 months. A. Duffy, Montclair, NJ
Terribly cheap product. 3 year old KDTE334GPS. Nice and quiet, but the top rack retainers have failed, so now I have half a dishwasher. It appears the plastic used in the slider mounts and brackets ages from the heat produced, especially during heat dry cycles. The KitchenAid French door bottom freezer unit is the same age and the latch flap is poorly designed and has come off several times due to this defect. I will never buy Kitchen Aid anything. Junk!
I would not recommend kitchenaid dishwashers at all. We've had ours 4 years and 2 circulator pumps/motors have gone bad and the wheels on the bottom rack all came off. We fortunately bought the extended warranty so first bad pump was paid for, but that new pump didn't get its own warranty and now 18 months later it is broken. Extremely disappointed with kitchenaid
I have ordered this dishwasher and I am really concerned with the only 3 comments warning do not buy this dishwasher. Please someone let hear some positive before I cancel my order! Thanks
DO NOT AND I MEAN DO NOT BUY ANY DISHWASHER FROM KITCHENAID!!! I brought a Kitchenaid dishwasher with the top rack and it has been a headache from the first month of ownership. I wish I could have returned it but the store policy is 14 days return policy on major appliances. First the dishwasher has never drained correctly, the top rack sprout started breaking within 60 days of ownership. Plastic parts from the bottom and second rack repeatedly broke off. My dishes have NEVER been properly cleaned. I could go on and on about the nightmare this dishwasher has caused to my family. All say for sure NONE of my complaints are lies and I speak the truth when I warn NEVER BUY AND KITCHENAID... Read More
DO NOT BUY! Mine was installed on Feb 11th by a licensed plumber. THE DISHES DO NOT COME OUT CLEAN! The first time was about a month or so ago, so I changed detergents to use only the recommended detergent. I also cleaned the filter and doubled checked the loading instructions just to be sure. NOW EVERY LOAD IS DIRTY! I've had to run it twice every time since last week. I called Customer Service. They said they would send someone. Great-anytime after 1pm. Service company left a message: they are coming between 10 am and 1pm. So now after spending a small fortune on a dishwasher I am suppose to take a day off of work?! I had a Bosch for 15 years...SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH BOSCH!
O I would never recommend a kitchen aid dishwasher pump went out at 11 months they replaced it but now it doesn't get my dishes clean and not completely dry I think I got a lemon very dissatisfied would never buy another I have heard the pump is a flaw in a lot of the dishwashers now days
