The part came quickly. Isn't she lovely? Looking forward to taking the dishwasher for a test drive once we have it full. I suspect it's efficiency will have improved. Who knows how long that tube was rotting, and most likely rotting?!? Again - many thanks!!!

Awesome! I found it in blue too! There is rust on both shelves that will eventually bring us back to this crossroads, but for now that will hopefully do the trick!! Thanks again to both of you who replied!

Thanks. Your reply resulted in me doing more searching. The water supply tube cone that is recommended at the bottom of this page http://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Kitchenaid-Dishwasher-Water-Supply-Tube/WP4171544/2954?ss=a9b121c23i290&mr=0 looks exactly like ours, so I am wondering if...

As you can see from the photos, the thing on the shelf that connects to the water source in the back of the unit has rotted. The first photo shows the back of the unit where the water comes in. The second photo shows the connector that rotted off. The third shows the shelf itself. Does anyone...

Thank you Yogitunes for letting me know there is no easy fix. Regarding the unit in NJ, the problem is I live on Long Island and we do not own a vehicle that even just the washer could fit in. It has been a summer of expenses, including a young man who fell asleep at the wheel and totaled our...

Question for Combo52 (and others): I realize that it must be unlikely that this would work because no one suggested it, but I was wondering if I put some sort of sealant - gasket sealer, epoxy, etc. on the top if it would form enough of a plug to stop or inhibit the oil from coming out. We are...

Thanks Combo52 and everyone else. I really appreciate how responsive and informative you all have been. It made it possible for me to work through the problem within a day, so now we know what we need to do - get a new washer. Now begins the quest!!

Thanks DigAPony - Your point is well taken. I think I need to start to learn about washers and dryers in a hurry!

thanks dustin92. That's what I suspected. I don't think it's a horrible leak since we were not getting oil on all of our things, just some of them and it was not happening with every load. We shall see....!

Still curious to hear if you think if cleaning will bide us some time until we can/must get a new unit, but since my last post I went ahead and cleaned things, so now it looks like this: http://

Thank you Combo52 for confirming what I was worried might be the case. If I clean up all of the oil is it possible we won't get oil on our clothes for awhile? I don't know how rapid the leak is, but I was hoping if it is not too bad that cleaning it up might buy us some time.... Also - we no...

Hi - This is my first post. We have a Maytag SE1000 stackable washer/dryer. Lately we are sometimes seeing small oil stains on our laundry items. I have removed the agitator, as we found it was coming from underneath. The picture below shows where the oil is coming from and how it is in the...
