Well.... This might have something to do with it. :-/ It’s on the Normal cycle button. Also the purple wire next to it was unplugged! Any way to fix this?

Update So the other night I took off the lower panel to inspect. I didn't see any signs of burnt wires or anything else "bad". I took off the start relay and cleaned the wires and connectors and also took off the ground wires and cleaned those and reinstalled. Looking underneath this thing you...

Detergent If you're using Finish powder, that should work. I have been using a combo of Cascade complete powder and Cascade Fryer Boil Out. I mix it in a big container to a 2-1 ratio and it clean fantastic. These old machines like the phosphorus. Alternatively you could also mix the detergent...

Wow nice Eugene!! I love those electronic control ones. Seriously though, these machines are so robust you can load them many different ways. I've had my KDM-21 for almost 3 years now and it still amazes me at how much stuff you can load. Now hopefully I can get it running properly again...

Yeah I didn’t see anything but then I’m not familiar with this stuff. I know how to use a multimeter but could you explain where the windings are and where to test them to? Sorry I’m a little green in this area lol.

Thanks John! I’m not sure where those are though :( I downloaded the repair manual, is that info in there?

I took off the the components down to the drain impeller and I did not see any blockages. I did pull out a small piece of ceramic, but it was in a channel and not near any drain area so I don't think it was an issue. After I put it back together the spray arm doesn't spin as freely though...it...

Stevet! Thank you so much. I was hoping you'd respond since you are the Hobart expert! haha When the motor stops after trying to drain, I don't hear anything. It just shuts off. As far as the water flow...yes it goes out with quite a bit of force. When it was draining, I looked down the...

As in my previous post, I still have my KDM-21. I had purchased a new Bosch but the installer failed to contact me and after looking at my Hobart, it worked fine so I figured I'd keep it...and cancelled the order. It has worked fine for the past 3 weeks until the other night when I started...

I ordered it but the installer never called me. The KA got working again so I just cancelled the order lol.

Thank you so much Todd! Yes I’m hoping John will chime in. He thought it was the motor at first but I just want to be sure. I’d really like to save it. I’m going to run it again tonight to see what happens. Someone in an older post mentioned running the Soak n Scrub cycle after resetting the...

Cool, thank you! It's been kind of random actually. This last time I selected the Normal cycle. The wash segment finished, it went to drain..drained briefly, then shut off. At that point I waited to see if it would do anything, and it didn't...the timer kept going. Next I hit the Cancel...

I have been using Light Wash mostly, because I don't have a ton of dishes and it does perfect, so that could be the case. I know the timer stops and starts the motor so I thinking it's possible that maybe it's "slipping" so to speak. I just don't want to get a new timer and that doesn't fix...

Well... It broke again. Is there a chance there could be something wrong with the timer? It's worked fine for the last 3 weeks basically. Tonight I ran a Normal Wash...after the first wash, it went to drain, then stopped. As the timer advanced it turned back on again so I'm not sure what to...

Well actually.... After further investigating and a complete failure on Lowe's part delivering my new dishwasher. I took off the panel on my Hobart and found no evidence of water leaking anywhere. Some insulation I had put underneath was scorched...so it's possible that it was too hot under...

Thanks for the help. Yup, the motor is dead/dieing. Hate to see it go but after 33 years, she had a good run. I bought a Bosch 300 series from Lowe's with free install.

I'll take a look at this today. I tried it again this morning. Hit the cancel button and the motor did kick on. Got a funny smell though. I ran a rinse cycle and it worked but the motor sounded kinda iffy at times. It drained ok though but when I opened it, there was an odor. I'll open the...

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what happened. Ran my dishwasher this evening and after the last wash cycle, the motor just stopped abruptly. Timer was still ticking away but it wouldn’t wash or drain. I tried hitting cancel and it ran through but still nothing from the motor. I’d be...

I guess I'm lucky but the store near me is still well stocked and the employees are very nice and helpful. I suppose it depends on the location. I had new tires put on my classic car there, and of course they weren't busy but it was a good experience.    They do indeed have some great deals...

Wicked cool John!
