Tales from a former Blue Light employee Any of the non teenager people on the sales floor, give them some slack. We are running around with our heads cut off trying to take care of our floor customers, answer calls, unload trucks, get our freight out to the floor, do a layaway or gofer shift...

I ended up buying it Hobart built and came with the relay board diagram- I can't wait to dive into this

Working KitchenAid electronic Imperial Selectra 21 - still available and just has some rust stains from well water according to the seller - claims to be working. I'm tempted to drive out there myself but know about the issues with these panels...

I got it fixed up at last! I think I put the lower door seal strip in upside down - I looked at how it was laid out in the repair manual and it wasn't in the position as pictured, so I put it back in the correct way and put some auto/marine weatherstripping on the sides of the tank to not leave...

I ran another cycle with the front panel off and the leaks are intermittent splashes coming from the hinge pin area - is it cause of the lower door seal not fully extending to the sides of the tank or am I needing a new overall tank gasket?

Greg, it's small amounts although I ran it through another cycle and it was maybe a puddle the size of a coaster

Water is escaping from the corner of the evaporation channel and is it because the seal is not long enough? It does fill to where the overflow slightly bobs and I hear a click

So far I put on some Loctite waterproof plastic/vinyl glue on the retainer clip cracks and gotta wait for that to cure then put the seal back in and hopefully it was just overfoaming - I do have the aerator piece out of my faucet adaptor would that contribute to anything?

Mine doesn't have those although the Service Guide said something about extra putty with the lower door baffle

I'll put the seal back in but what kind of glue/epoxy would work on repairing the retainer strip?

SteveT - help please!

If I remember correctly it wasn't - I was running empty cycles to test the other parts

Got this portable Superba at the Florissant Salvation Army a couple weeks ago, great cosmetic condition and clean underside, but I've had my fair share of "fun" with it from cleaning out the valves to causing my sprayer to dribble from underneath flooding my kitchen and basement, and now the...

John, was this the almond set you told me about back in August when you got the white Lady Kenmore set?

Action shots Back up and running with no leaks! Interior looks good with no rusty racks but exterior rust on the bottom panel. This will be more of a "fun" dishwasher for the time being - I'm a Whirlpool boy at heart and I love my portable PowerClean and the in the door silverware basket too...
