OK OK, forgive the newbie... I was able to remove parts 9-10-11, they were just caked in there under the dried white stuff. But that "part that locks into the wash impeller" does not want to come out and I don't want to break it. So, where does that leave me now?

What am I missing? Greetings again - OK - I may have called the part that I am possibly missing the wrong name. I have checked parts numbered 1-5, those I have. In the pictures posted above between "pic 2" and "pic 3", I removed the Drain Pump Cover Plate and screws (parts numbered 26 and...

Vintage KitchenAid (Hobart), KDI-18 Hrmm, thanks for the advice everybody. I had no idea. What's the best way to contact someone in the NJ/NYC area who would know best how/what is needed on this unit? Thanks again.

Hello all - I live in an apartment that is on the second floor of a house. The house has a lot of now vintage but then top of the line kitchen equipment, in cabinet and what not. I was researching what dishwasher I had when I found your forum. It is a vintage KitchenAid (Hobart), KDI-18 and...
