Interesting Definitely a less common machine. Lack of quality is not surprising but was interesting with the SS tub

Other than this one being rode hard and put away wet. What kind of quality are these machines? Not a style I usually see floating around. -Shannon

Just sold mine I had a similar whirlpool in mint condition that I recently sold to an elderly woman who wanted a wringer machine like she had as a young woman. They are wonderful machines but the pumps are often problematic, although mine did work perfectly.

Early Model I believe someone mentioned this model was introduced in 1984. The serial number starting with DR indicates it was built in February of 1984

Thanks! I appreciate everyone helping me out with this. Very happy with the switch so far! It seems to perform better than my kenmore so far.

Cycle Information Does anybody have information of the length of each cycle option and the wash/rinse details of each cycle on this machine.

Condensation gone! I made a very minor adjustment on the door latch post on the dishwasher side. I saw that it adjusts in and out when you loosen the two screws, so I made it so the door closes a little bit tighter because it wasn’t very tight originally. I believe some condensation was making...

First run So far so good. I’m running dishwasher cleaner through the first cycle since it’s been sitting for 35 years. The only thing I’ve noticed is there’s a little condensation on the inside of the cycle indicator lens where the rapid advance timer is. Let me know if there’s anything I...

Super racks Does anyone by chance have a lead on a nice set of super racks for this dishwasher?

Maiden Voyage Crazy to think this thing spent its whole life boxed up in storage for 35 years until today! I just removed the original wooden skids that it was screwed down to for shipping from the factory. The styrofoam is still on the racks as well as the owners manual and a trial bottle of...

Motor Swap What are the advantages of swapping the motor anyway? Other than noise?

Swap unit. I still have my NOS Potscrubber 1200 from 1989 or a variety of older KD machines. Maybe one of these would be better?

Dead control panel ….. Again So my control panel has now burned out for the third time…. I’m assuming there is something going on with this machine that is causing an overdraw or a short. I love this machine but I can’t keep dealing with breakdowns. Any insight would be extremely helpful at...

John A nice used one is fine with me. Just send me a price and I’ll make it happen. Thanks, Shannon

Rinse Aid Dispenser If anyone has a part number for the rinse aid dispenser, I will scour the Internet and see if I can find one for it to install. Thanks, Shannon
