Photos missing I found this tutorial (much to my delight) and ordered all the parts from the parts list provided a few weeks ago. I have all the parts and now return, and all the pics are gone.....I'd love to save my avacado a806. Is there another place I might find the pics? Thanks

Aren't these extremely heavy? Heavier than even a w/d pair?

Always wanted one and I'd grab this but other side of the country. I wonder if the seller really will ship it first class USPS for $120.00 as stated in the listing lol?

Thanks bigalsf and everyone for your help! Bigalsf you asked if I removed the O-ring at the top of the drain impeller and I did not. In fact I didn't mess with anything that fits onto the drain impeller shaft. In kit 240366, at least according to the parts diagram, I have the "washer spring...

Update Just a quick update - I think I found the culprit in the drain solenoid valve after all. Pic attached of the piece of debris next to what is left of my retirement account for visual reference. It's metal and I think it was a clip from packaging I opened near some dirty dishes...

Just a quick update, I took it down to the impeller again, and in fact went down to the "cover - inlet" (part no c115681 on parts diagram) and found a couple piece of what appeared to be porcelain from a plate or bowl. At first I thought it was just dried soap scum but it is a glass of some...

Hi thank you - yes it seems to be during the entire washing/rinsing operation. I took the lower panel off today and just watched and tried to listen with an automotive stethescope. The buzzing seems to occur at all times the pump is spinning as far as I can tell by looking. Using the...

Hi everyone I have a KDS18 / Kitchenaid Superba that I have been using for about 1.5 years and I love it. A couple days ago though it started making this loud buzzing noise, and seems to be happening whenever there is rinsing or draining action happening. The sound seems to be coming from...

Hi folks - I've lurked here for a bit but not yet posted. I wanted to show my new KDS18, a Craigslist find for $35 bucks, which is replacing my Fisher Paykel dish drawer. Thanks to posts on here I was able to replace the drain valve with one from a KDS21 I got for parts. So far it seems to be...
