How's this? The last two pics are the meat grinder/food slicer built into the countertop, and the papertowel and tin foil dispenser built into the wall. Btw the new part arrived today (earlier than expected), I installed it and we are back in business!! No more washing by hand. Again...

Thanks for all the responses guys. Neither of us are great cooks, or enthusiastic ones either. We try to cook healthy for us and the kids but I wouldn't say either of us has a great love for it. It also tough to find any free time with two little kids running around. I don't think we have the...

Well I ordered the one listed above this morning. Unfortunately I have to wait another week before I get to have dishes washed for me again! This washing by hand really stinks... Thanks to everyone for all your help!

Does this mean my run motor is shot and the rapid advance motor is doing its job?

Tonight I had some time to mess around with the machine. With it stuck on prewash the valve is never opening, it was just prewashing for ever and ever. Thankfully not much danger of burning it out then. The control wheel? (not sure of the right name for this part but is is labelled Singer...

I got the new valve today after too many days of having to wash dishes by hand! It was torture! I installed it. The valve inlets and outlet are different than the original but no big deal. I went to run the dishwasher and it stayed forever on the prewash cycle. So I manually hit the drain...

Well I pulled the cover back off and ran the drain cycle. The connections all looked fine, didn't see anything loose. I checked for 120 volts at the connections to the valve and it checked out fine. But no water drained, so I guess I have a bad valve. I looked for a replacement on the Hobart...

Wow, thanks for all the responses! I really think most of her dislike is because it's old and she would like a new shiny model. She has said a few times that it hasn't washed well but it's always seemed fine to me. We already use the bottom for plates etc, and the top for glasses and bowls. We...

My family bought a 1960 house last year, complete with 1960 appliances. They are all thermador complete with original brochures, and a Superba by Hobart KDS-17 dishwasher. They are all stainless steel and in good shape, but of course my wife would love to rip them out and replace with new fancy...
