Need a picture of the back of a KDA-5 Would anyone be willing to load a picture of the back covers (on and/or off) of a KDA-5 top loading dishwasher?

Thanks to all for the assistance and humor . . . predictably, the appliance repair shop had an interlock switch that would work sitting right on their shelf (!), so the dishwasher is finally working and the hurricane should stay in the box. Still looking for a back cover . . . any suggestions?

Thanks for responding! The dishwasher is at a repair shop . . . will try to get the part number tomorrow or Tuesday and get back to you.

Update Stevet, you were correct :), the problem is the interlock switch on the door (top-loading lid). Would anyone out there know where I could get a replacement interlock switch or the back covers (2 pieces) which are missing? Otherwise the dishwasher seems to work fine :)!

Sorry, not the part number . . . After reading the service manual, I see that that is not the part number :(. No part numbers are given.

Part number for timer? The timer unit (below) pictured in the KDA-5 service manual has the number PL5990 on it . . . would that be the part number or just an image number?

Thanks Ben and William637. The dishwasher does not have a model # (may have been on the back cover which is missing), and the old timer does not have a part number on it. Have ID'd my dishwasher as a KDA-5 based on the identical one in the picture (below) that was posted online by revvinkevin...

KDA-5 Varicycle Hello Revvinkevin, I purchased a dishwasher just like the one you have pictured. Apparently the timer is disfunctional. I would like to fix it or replace it. Also, the back cover is missing. . . could have one made for $35 if I can't get the real part. What do you suggest?

Hello, I have a Kitchenaid Varicycle KDA-5 top-loading dishwasher that has power to the timer, but not beyond. Appliance repairman suspects it needs a new timer but says he can't get parts. Does anyone know where I might get a new timer, or if the old timer could be repaired? It is also...
