Spotted on the Canadian kid's science show "Science Max". Look behind Phil's left hand. Here's hoping they used a parts machine. He always has cool stuff behind him on the shelves so it's interesting that he (or the set dressers) thought part of an old washing machine was worthy. Also, this...

If you are interested in a genuiune wood top (from the KD58 series so it's probably the same) let me know. I converted mine to built in. It's been outside for a little bit so will problaby need refinishing or a light sanding. Comes with the handle. It's super heavy for a piece of wood. Let...

That ISE dishwasher sure looks like a re-badged or slightly modified KA/Hobart unit. Silverware basket, top rack moveable tines, wash arm, detergent dispenser- all look like my KDI-58 although this looks like it's based on a KDS with the heating element at the bottom. Val

Can't believe that I missed "National Dishwasher Day"! Here is a picture of "Phil" a KitchenAid KDI-58 that I turned into a built in. That's a job and a half. I had the white panels painted and the shop tried to match the Woodtone Brown GE color that my oven and range are painted but had to...

Still interested in the rinse aid dispenser!

Sorry to see it go- that is a stylish machine. I'd love to have the rinse aid dispenser even though it's broken. I'm pretty handy and hoping that I can fix it for my KDI-58. I think the rinse aid dispenser is the same through most of the KD models. Not sure what all that dispenser involves...

I have the name of a pretty good motor rebuilder if you'd rather not part it out. They handled a number of fractional horsepower motors when I was maintaining a building and rebuilding the oddball HVAC fan motors.

Why not get that original motor rebuilt if you are sure that is what the problem is? I used to do building and broadcast equipment maintenance at a TV station and had many of our HVAC fan motors rebuilt off the shelf replacements that would mount up correctly just weren't available. The...

I worked at a television station in various roles over the years including Master Control, operating the satellite truck and equipment maintenance. Toward the end I was put in charge of building maintenance. I had many HVAC fan motors go bad and decided to have them rebuilt as they were real...

1- no, just no. I can't imagine wanting any of those items enough to pull them out of that filthy upstairs apartment/whatever it is. Amazingly, somebody wants the fridge and oven enough to bid on them. They are currently at a dollar. 2- when was the last time Schlitz came in those cans or was...

Oops- this should be the correct link. I linked to that KA dishwasher a long time ago, not sure how it got back on here. Pictures from original post are correct. Val...

Vintage avocado set- GE fridge, oven and KitchenAid dishwasher. Sold as a set, installed but never used. How does this happen??? I really want the fridge but be aware, I would re-paint it Woodtone Brown and find some chrome handles for it...

Can't tell from the pictures if it's a Superba or Imperial or the model number but this might be what you are looking for: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/249781987417071/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A4999e83b-ab22-498c-9906-005d5d7bd1f9

I would contact Eurton Electric in Wittier California. They will rebuild almost any motor, even fractional horsepower ones like this. In my previous job as a building super and engineer for a TV station, I had them rebuild many small HVAC VAV fan motors. Those motors were nearly 20 years old...
