Hi I'm new to the forum. I was hoping to find a few parts for our much loved KitchenAid Kds-15. I'm looking for a soap dispenser, and a cycle selection switch. Anyone have any spares?

Yeah upgrade lol. Gotta love it.

Malcolm, Today I took your advice by cutting our vertical drain pipe, so it would be lower. I also removed a redundant amount of drain hose. The timer arrived, and I noticed how it turned much nicer than ours. So I replaced it anyways. The new timer pleased my wife regardless, because of its...

Update: The old a612 is pumping out better. I switched out the pump belt. The old belt proved to be better,than the new belt I purchased. She still refuses to spray rinse, so I will try another timer( arriving tomorrow). I will also look into how to test the water level switch (Electronically...

Okay I timed her drain cycle, and she is well over 90 seconds with the smallest level in the tub (slow spin). There was a small amount of water left after spin cycle(slow drain). I recently put on a new pump and belts, because the other pump was seizing up. (Belt tension is good) I wonder if I...

Thanks Malcolm! I will give it a try, and let you know.

Delicate is marked on the Normal fabric side of the dial(6-8 minutes). It only fails to rinse, when delicate, and gentle/slow spin is selected.

Thank you for everyone's response. The machine is not consistently spray rinsing during delicate cycle, with slow spin. My a612 console looks identical. The drain is about 18" inches above the back of the machine. She seems to be draining fine. Listening to the responses I still think it's the...

Okay, here's my symptoms. My wife and I love our newly acquired a612, minus the delicate cycle. When we selected delicate cycle with a slow spin, I noticed the machine was barely rinsing our clothes, leaving a good amount of suds behind. Now we followed the detergent direction to the letter, and...

I called her earlier this evening. The washer is a KDP-20. I'm very tempted myself to take the 4 hour trip. I just refurbished the incinerator CL700 for our kitchen though. I wish I could give this one some love too. Do you guys think this is a better washer than the CL700? Derek

I actually sent you an e-mail. I fear my wife could put the kabosh on it though. Give me a call. Don't let them take it.

I posted the story of this lovely machine in another thread, but I though it deserved its own! Here is an outside picture of my Insinkerator. The control panel was purchased through an out of state craigslist transaction, for the original one was in really rough shape. I searched the internet...

Thank You Everyone! Kenmore71, I will send you an e-mail tonight, for I will take you up on your offer. As far as where I got these machines, I got them from Cranston Rhode Island (craigslist). Here is an outside picture of my Insinkerator. The control panel was purchased through an out of...

Thank you, I have always appreciated older things. I also reconditioned a classic insinkerator cl700 dishwasher. I will post that machine in another thread. Simple and durable. Something that gets the job done well, and I can work on!

Hello, I am a new member to your forum, and I would like to show off a few of our vintage Maytags. My wife and I bought these gently used machines for only $200! The washer had a nasty squeak, which the owner was not very candid about. After buying a new drain pump, installing some new belts...
