    vintage appliances on TV

    Six Feet Under The HBO series Six Feet Under features a number of vintage appliances in the kitchen and, IIRC, the laundry. In season 1, the Fishers have an Avocado KSD-16 in the kitchen. At some point during the run of the show, I guess the kitchen was remodeled by the set designers and the...

    KDS-57A Sani Cycle Temp

    Makes sense I figured it was one of two reasons! So, is this cycle a waste of time and energy?

    KDS-57A Sani Cycle Temp

    I figured this is the case. I know the thermostat isn't directly measuring the water, more the side of the sump. I thought maybe in someway my machine had a thermostat changed out and it happened to be a 160 degree.

    18"Danby DW

    I had a countertop Danby about 18 years ago when I was single. It worked great and I felt like I could get a fair amount of dishes in it because it was the size of a large microwave. I recently had a 18" SPT portable for my rented house. It worked fine, it just took forever upwards of 3 hours...

    KDS-57A Sani Cycle Temp

    Just a quick question... I have run my Sani Cycle a few times and I can hear the water heating and when the pump starts again there is a fair amount of steam the exhausts from the vent. But when I measure the water being drained it only shows 154, at most, on an instant read thermometer. It's...

    How did these KA dishwashers get water to the top rack?

    Loading As other have mentioned, and like any dishwasher, it's all about loading. I have 2 KA dishwashers that only spray from the bottom. I just don't put too many things on the bottom rack that will hinder the wash from reaching the top. I very rarely have an item that didn't get fully...

    Trade: KA lower rack E-116157 for 4172117

    Bumpers Hi Kevin, I "may" have the bumpers you are looking for. When I search the part number you listed, they look exactly the same as what I have. Mine don't have a part number on them. I purchased them off e-Bay earlier this year and they don't fit my KD-17, so they are clearly for a later...
