Thanks!!! Thanks for the info. That helps my search tremendously If anyone has one to sell, let me know. I've found someone on this site that will sell me his motor. Since he doesn't return from out of town for several weeks, I'd like to go ahead and secure an additional motor asap just to get...

I believe I've downloaded all available service/parts literature pertaining to the KDI-17 from this site, but still cannot find the part number of the motor. Can anyone tell me what it is and what, if any, other Hobart models might have used the same motor? If I can't find the motor out of a...

Yes I do!!! Hope you haven't scrapped it yet! I sent you an e-mail from my yahoo account but I'm following up here also just in case my e-mail gets sent to your spam folder. The motor of my KDI-17 went out just this week so I need that most of all. But also might buy any working small parts...

The motor for my Kitchenaid KDI-17 is shot and so I'm looking for a replacement. If you have other small parts that I can use as backups that can fit in the same shipping box as the motor, then I might buy those as well. [email protected] 502 303 4094

Will other more common springs work? The springs on my KDI-17 are completely missing. Do I really need the "vintage correct" part here or could a more common spring from eBay work just as well? I'm specifically looking at part #4160097. Anybody think that's worth a try? I'm just going by the...

My recently acquired KDI-17 does not have door springs. Can I just buy some dishwasher door springs on eBay that appear to be correct (part #4160097 looks visually close to me), or do I really need to try to find the model-correct KDI-17 springs? Same exact question about the leveling feet, as I...

After having a couple dishwashers break down on us within 6 months of each other, I decided to scour the internet to research what the most reliable washers ever made were. It was my goal to buy the last one I'd ever have and be done with dishwasher shopping forever. I found this website's...
