I had a no/poor drain problem recently with my KDI-58 and it turned out to be a nylon nut (from when I replaced the constant rinse thing) that had fallen into the works and eventually made its way to the drain valve. The drain valve has the smallest inside diameter of anything in the drain...

We've got four people here in the house and do a lot of food preparation so it's at least one load a day, sometimes up to three. I'll probably leave it on all the time as I'll use it to also provide hot water to the sink. Currently it's several minutes before we get hot water. And yes, part...

Luxflair and qsd-dan: Did either of you actually read my post? Not sure you did. I'll bullet point it for you: 1) I've set my water heater at 140 or 145. Old house, galvanized plumbing, lots of heat loss in that plumbing even at the nearest sink, not to mention that the dishwasher in...

"Phil" is my now built in KitchenAid KDI-58. In good shape (I think) and painted something resembling Woodtone Brown. Phil has a temperature problem. It's too low. Phil isn't cleaning very well and I'm starting to get push back from the rest of the family. Here are the...

That looks to be in really nice shape. Too bad I need a square one from the early 1960's with lots of chrome to complete my kitchen. That would just look like I bought a giant ranch house but spent all my $$ before finishing the kitchen.

Meant to respond earlier so maybe this is too late. If you are thinking of saving it I have had pretty good luck with Eurton Electric in Whittier CA when it comes to rebuilding small motors. I last worked at a TV broadcast facility doing equipment maintenance and that included physical plant...

First picture is of a complete fill in a KDI-58, looking at the right rear corner where the fan vent thing is. That should give you some idea of how much water should be in a complete fill. "qsd-dan" is correct about where the water level should be but this fill level was easier for me to see...

OK- e-mail is in my profile; send me your address and I'll get them out! Val

These are a little more beat than I remember but would be better than nothing. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send them to you no charge. The rest of the things I pulled off I'd like to hang on to.

I just built in a KDI-58 and of course, pulled those exact parts out. Let me check the box of DW stuff and see what kind of shape they are in. I don't expect to pull this out and convert it to portable any time soon or ever so I'll probably just send them to you. More later today.

This is from several days ago so it may have already been dispensed with (sad face here) but maybe not. In Tacoma, WA. No model number shown but it looks to be a KDC-18. I have a KDI-58 and I love it! This would be much easier to build in than converting a portable, trust me. Save it! I...

OOps- here is the link to the free one from the mid-70's to 1979. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5235536293193050/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ae7131fca-d15b-40f7-a742-3352809aa658

There are two currently in the Seattle Tacoma area. I know it's not really near Scottsdale but I thought I'd throw them out there. Second one may already be gone. They don't show the model number but it looks somewhat like my KDI-58 which dates from 1979. KitchenAid dishwashers didn't change...

Yours for the asking. Lasco 09-1951NL. "Short style with aerator fits large snap coupler" Reimburse me for postage if you wish. Used about twice as I was testing my KDI-58 portable before building it in...

Like the title says, what is this plastic strip that is in front of the gasket in the upper right hand corner of the door? Appears to be factory with two plastic pins holding it in. Since it's in front of the gasket it spits out a small amount of water on to the top of the door right where...

I just had really good luck with a bottle of "Glisten" dishwasher cleaner. My KitchenAid Imperial (sorry if that's too downmarket for this thread, but the price was right) smelled like it was used at the grease factory but was otherwise in good condition. I thoroughly cleaned it on the...

There's a Creda washer/dryer stackable combo for sale in Sedro-Woolley, Washington (north of Seattle) on FB marketplace. Only one picture but looks to be in nice shape. Was Creda ever sold here in the U.S.A. or did somebody bring this over with them...

Not sure why this popped up in my Marketplace feed but here you go. Seems to be a Hoover compact washing machine but what's that other part? The dryer? Seller says it's all there but I feel like something is missing. You can't just put your clothes in the stainless steel part and have them...

Turns out they had to "match" the color from scanning in the Woodtone Brown oven door I brought in. Both paint codes for Woodtone Brown were no longer valid. "Match" because it's not a particularly good one and it wasn't exactly cheap either. I failed to ask them to make sure I approved the...

How about a picture of your new dishwasher from the side and also the back? I'm wondering if this could have been the model my house came with when it was put up in 1961. We still have the original wall oven and cooktop from GE in Woodtone Brown, so I know the place came with GE appliances...
