Unfortunately, someone bought it before I got to it. :( Anne

John, I am so happy! Maybe that will buy me a little time until I can take it to Alabama. Thank you so very much! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours 🙂

Hi John, Were you able to find a part # for me? If not should I purchase the reference above? Please help Anne

Hi John, I am moving the Kitchenaid Dishwasher to the new house today. Did you have any luck finding a dispenser or know of a good place to look? Anne

Could I use this for parts reference? https://www.automatice.org/cgi-bin/index.cgi?showdoc~1288~~ Anne

Hi John, David is booked up for the next few months and I will have to arrange a bit of a vacation to get it to Alabama, so I need to figure the defrost timer out now. I am low on funds, paying for two homes while we are finishing a giant move. If anything happened right now it would be a...

Hi Dave, Thank you :) Anne

Hi Dave, Thank you :) Anne

Hi John, I marked the dial. It doesn’t move at all. It did seem to get a little warm when I turned it manually before, but there wasn’t any water in the pan at all. I have put the fridge back on a timer running 30 on/15 off and I am able to maintain temp. I just couldn’t take it running all...

Hi John, Could you give me contact info for David from Alabama? I think I should follow your advice and have the system tested/serviced. And I guess I will pull the defrost timer and try to get #s off it. Any idea where I could find a parts list for 1959? Anne

Hi John, Well, I do not have much help right now because my husband and I have been in two different places, but once we are in the same house it will be easier. He was a mechanic for many years (now in auto production) and they seem kind of similar to old cars. If we could obtain the right...

Well, I guess it must be doing something, because the compressor does turn off after 10 mins.

I turned the defrost knob until the compressor turned off. It turns off for exactly 10 mins. I did this manually, the timer dial doesn’t appear to be moving on its own at all. The fridge and freezer are both maintaining temperature. I am thankful for that 🙂

I have turned this fridge off at the breaker when checking it. (It is awfully hard to keep moving it to unplug) Is that damaging to do that? And I read power outages can damage it? We live in a small town with it’s own power co. The power goes out kind of often. Should it be on some sort of...

@ cspetros I did check the internal temps a few days ago. The fridge was 38 and the freezer was 0. I put extra ice cube trays in the freezer and everything has stayed frozen. I put a bottle of water and several ice packs in the freezer. I also put lots of drinks in the fridge. The fan behind...
