The 23 is in place, but needs an upper rack without exposed rusty side edge... unless there is perhaps a way to clean and seal it back up. Otherwise, the KUDS 22 is available to be tested and installed... was theoretically AOK. Main problem with local techs is non-appreciation of these vintage...

Do we have a professional repair tech in the SF to San Jose area, knowledgeable and sympathetic about Hobart and early successor dishwashers? Hoping you are out there.... Kate

Thank you very much, WK78. I will check with him. Kate

Is anyone willing to part with an upper rack for a KUDS-23 in good condition? If so, would love to hear from you. The plastic along the sides can detract from an otherwise good machine. Kate

Stainless panels for 15/55 I have two available sets of stainless panels for KDS-15/55 in case of interest. Kate

Any Flair collectors in Northern California? Looks nice. Kate http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/atq/3863843387.html

And here is the other one: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/app/3774864872.html

Here are a couple of vintage Kitchenaid dishwashers offered in northern Calif... a non-convertible portable, and an earlier one. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/app/3780819397.html

In case of interest, here is a current CL listing out of Sacramento, CA, for parts. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/app/3747533713.html

I'm not sure of the model, only that it has the same vertical turn handle mounted on a triangular base which I think I associate with a former KDC. You're absolutely right about its being made in 1953; I misread my hasty notes from last night. I suspect it is whatever model would fit that...

The movie "The Moon is Blue" has a scene in which Maggie MacNamara uses a dishwasher which reminds me of a KDC-15 I once knew. TCM is bringing the (1958) film back tomorrow nigh (2/28) at 10 pm west coast, but probably later in the east. Would the 15 be right for 1958, or is it earlier? Kate

It is an individual, Dennis Appliance Service. 415-453-6272 I was going to say I don't know if he takes jobs in the City, but he apparently is willing to go there for parts, so presumably also for (interesting) work. Here is the story on Yelp...

This is to follow up on the screeching dryer in Marin County, which is now a fait accompli. I found a couple of 5-star folks on Yelp. I asked the first one how long he had been doing that sort of work, and he finally admitted to 51 years. I said, "Then you probably know what a DE806 is," to...

I believe the seller read the model numbers on the equipment. I had assumed prices would be negotiable, and he says they are. I had hoped that at least one of them might match mine, but no such luck. Kate

I hope someone in the Bay Area can use these. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/app/3580744711.html Kate

Thank you for the possible diagnosis, Kenny. I'm not sure whether it is older or newer style, but will keep these possibilities in mind. Jim, thank you for reminding me of Yelp as a source. There seem to be a couple of five-star candidates in southern Marin, so I will try to assess their...

I have a screeching Maytag DE806 in Sausalito, north of San Francisco. Do we have a member or recommended service person in that area? I used to have the matching washer, but the garden variety person who showed up to repair it (before I found this forum) convinced me that it had to be...

Does anyone recall when Corning made double ovens? It was a beauty back in the day when the KDS-17 was new. A door spring has sprung. Can anyone suggest a source for a replacement? Or must the broken one or it's mate be taken to a parts place?

Am I correct in believing that door panels on a convertible portable would be interchangeable with the comparable built-in model... i.e. panels for a 57 with a 17? Thanks for your expertise, Kate

Parts for KDS-15 The parts we saved were functional parts, in case someone needed them or they would work with my 17's. Are you looking for something in particular, or inventory? My first inquiry, just after the carcasses were driven away, was for facade parts... which had been reattached to...
