Selling my Stainless steel Hobart / KitchenAid Dishwasher. Internal racks are in good condition. Was working great until fill valve failed. I purchased a new valve but ultimately elected to replace the unit with something new. Looking for $200 which includes new valve. Located in...

KDI 16 stainless steel panels. Internal racks are good with no rusty metal.

It was a difficult decision but have decided to replace this dishwasher and it's currently in my garage. Please get in touch if you're interested in the unit. I'm located in Connecticut. Send an email and we can correspond that way or exchange phone numbers: [email protected] The...

It is the arm support that is not flat and it doesn't perfectly mate up to the pump housing. I guess i will source another one and hope it doesn't happen again.

Gasket? is there supposed to be any gasket for the underside of the support where it gets screwed to the lower component?

I realized that my new old stock support is not perfecly flat on the bottom surface which is why it didn't fit as nicely as the original part. I installed it anyway and I'm hoping it is good enough to do the job.

That is very interesting that you seem to recommend the version of the support arm with the plastic top piece instead of the bronze top. I assumed that the plastic was used as a cost-cutting method and that the bronze would have been superior but maybe the bronze induces more wear to the wash arm.

Thank you, Ben for your thoughtful responses! I appreciate your generosity in sharing this hard to find information. I plan to take your advice to get a new wash arm and I'm happy to spend a modest amount of money to refurbish my machine. To my untrained eye the current wash arm looks good...

I see that the machine pictured is a KDS-15 but was wondering if my KDI-16 should also have the donut shaped filter screen with the large circular holes?

This is extremely helpful, thank you so much!

Does anyone have this wash arm support with a 1.5" shaft extension that I could purchase?

Thanks guys. The top of the original part's shaft extends to the surface of the wash arm, but the new part's tip stops below the surface creating a small space. Regarding installation, I figured out how it is keyed in the correct position but the bottom surface is an imperfect match and i would...

I figured out that this part "should" work because the top of the saucer shaped bushings are at the same height, the only difference is that the shaft on the new part would not extend all the way to the surface of the wash arm. I attempted to install the new part but the bottom surface does...

Here is the new part which has a 1 inch shaft extension and another picture showing the 1.5 inch extension on my existing wash arm support. My machine is a KDI-16.

Hello again, I finally purchased the replacement washer arm support and I was eager to get it installed. I decided to do a visual comparison of the old vs. new before bolting it into my machine. I observed to my disappointment that the new one is not the same: the shaft on the new part is...
