    Help With Vintage KDI-17A

    Let's start from the beginning Sorry you're still experiencing problems with the machine. I'm a little confused about what you're experiencing and want to help. Let me start with how the controls are supposed to physically operate.   I've attached some pics to help explain.      When you...

    Waste King DW

    Bob, I believe this is the model you're referring to along with the cycle sequences. The difference between the 810 & 910 was the tub. The 810 was plastisol and the 910 was stainless. Do you remeber which model series your home had (A or B)?

    Kenmore 80 series mystery part

    That is a hinge for the control panel.  It attaches to the top rear of the control panel and the top edge of the back panel (I can't re-call the specific orientation, but a parts list will show it clearly).  It allows the control panel to swing up away from the cabinet so you can remove the...

    Help With Vintage KDI-17A

    Timer issue Hi,  sorry a little late to the conversation.  It definitely sounds like you have a timer problem.   The timer on this model resets when you open the door after a completed cycle; their is an audible "click" when this occurs.  There is a linkage on the left side of the door handle...

    Presenting the KDS -19A

    Hi everyone, wanted to provide a quick update. Have run several loads now, and the machine has worked beautifully! Here are some pics of a fairly heavy load (not quite a Bob load). Used the Normal cycle, and one pod of Kirkland detergent (our water is so soft that Kirkland works very well)...

    Presenting the KDS -19A

    Installed!! Thank you for all the nice comments.  I installed it this afternoon and used it this evening!  Flawless!  Dishes clean, dry, & cool to the touch (a nice feature).  Although it was noisier than the tall tub it replaced, it was not by that much.     The machine was originally a 23...

    Presenting the KDS -19A

    So I have been working on this project for a little bit and wanted to share the results.  I've always liked the KD19 cycle series, but was not thrilled with the short main wash, and the hit/miss filter.  I acquired a KDS23 series and decided to convert it to a KDS19.  My hubby would only agree...

    <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Hi everyone, I am reaching out to the Frigidaire experts here.  I have a 1978 (I think) WC-7B or WC-7G (the model tag only says WC-7).  I am not very familiar with these machines as I rarely worked on them when I was with...

    Resurrecting a 1964 Whirlpool Top Loading Dishwasher, Pristine, Except...........

    Additional info Hey Mike! This is indeed a 1965 model. Below is some model info & a wiring diagram/cycle chart for it (the top diagram is your model). The valve flow rate is 1.15 gal/min, so if you can find one that has that rating you could use that (you may need to change the mounting...

    1960s Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher

    <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Congratulations Mike!  So glad you are getting this!  These are great models and did indeed feature a very early version of Whirlpool's upper level wash arm.  I'm not sure but I think there is a flat rack that goes along with the...

    Point Voyager versus Clean Water Wash

    Kenmore DW Yes, that is a Power Clean model. I actually had this model, and it works very well! You can program a favorite cycle and the upper rack is actually adjustable on the left side. The silverware basket also splits apart so you can use half of it if you want and have more room on the...
