WOW! Excellent information Steve. Exactly what a person needs when there are no manuals available and its their first time digging into one of these. Thanks for taking the time to document so well. You guys all have been a great help! I'll check back when the job is complete.

Thanks rp2813! Things are looking up for an outcome I was hoping for if I can truly get the door off without removing the unit from under the counter. I will post when the job is complete but be patient as it will be a few weeks before my next trip. Until then... any additional information...

Looking for a little help please! We have a Hobart/KitchenAid model KDS-19 that has developed a small leak. The leak appears to come from the left side or bottom of the door. My thought was that the door seal visible when you open the door was leaking due to non use but when I looked a little...
