Thanks cyclemonitor for your input. The 19's upper rack with the bigger wash arm works well in my 18, so even though it doesn't have the adjustable height and flex-divider tines like the upper rack in the 18 did, I think I can live without them. But I'm still not sure if I feel right...

Still wondering what I should do with this... anybody have any advise or answers to my questions above-it would be very much appreciated. :-)

Well I tried to swap the upper wash arms and china guards between the 18 and 19 racks, but discovered that the clips for the 18 rack's adjustable tines fit in the same spot as where the 19 china guard wants to clip on, so I put everything back and installed the 19 rack into the 18. I guess I...

I know there is no heated dry with this model, but is the 19 a model that pauses while heating the water at the beginning of a wash? The heater is working as I left the dishwasher run after a pumpout with no water in it for a few minutes, and when I opened the door, I could smell the element...

The university that I work for every year has a huge garage sale, and I always volunteer one day to help them set up. This year, a KDC-59C came rolling in, so I decided to pick it up for $25. It looks like someone was using it as a built in, as the butcher block top was missing, and the...

Yeah, back in 1872, GE was known as PE... Private Electric. They eventually worked their way up to the rank of General. :-)

This looks just like the inside of my Inglis dishwasher. Is it the sump seal itself or the motor shaft seal that is leaking? If it is the motor shaft seal, it is very easy to change it with the motor and pump left in the dishwasher. The part you will need is Whirlpool #8193524. Check out the...

The snapping sound and the motor reversing go hand in hand... sort of. The 20's motor runs one way only, so to drain the dishwasher, a solenoid valve snaps open and sends the water out the drain pipe. The 21 motor is reversible. It runs one way to pump water through the wash arms, and then...

Love that Pentaswirl video. I always wondered though... at the 5:20 mark, is the reason that the washer starts its spin when the tub is moved really caused by an off balance switch, or was it just coincidence? I didn't think that an off balance switch simply cut power to the spin cam bar...

Jeb's story got me wondering if my Canadian Filter-Flo did the same thing, so I did a little test. I filled the tub to the medium water level setting, then kept advancing the timer near the end of the spin cycle until I found the last increment in the cycle where the motor doesn't run but the...

I have a question about the washer in the video that Malcolm posted in reply #14. At the 6:58 mark during the fill for the rinse, as the timer advances, it seems to start the motor briefly in between the increments. Is that something that is normal on machines of that era or with that model...

Take a look at the site linked below... it will show you how motors work, and the purpose of the brushes. I'm assuming your Servis must have a back cover which will let you access the internal components. Take off this cover, then with the spinner activated, carefully tap the spin motor with a...

Not sure what kind of motor the Servis uses for its spinner, but if it uses a motor with brushes like the Hoover twin tubs do, it sounds like from what you are describing the brushes need to be replaced. Try activating the spinner and then tapping the motor with something and see if it tries to...

Automatic rinse models, like my 0519, have a third control knob on the far right which turns on and off the automatic rinse feature. This model only has the built in water spigot which can be used to fill the wash tub. Here's a photo of my 0519's control panel showing the Automatic Rinse feature.

Me like, me like! Too bad it doesn't have Automatic Rinse. But definitely a neat color!

Sorry... just read the entire thread and got the answer to both of my questions.

Just out of curiosity, what are you doing with the rest of the dishwasher? And where are you located?

Wish I was closer to you geographically as I'd be happy to come take a look at it.

If it is one of the dispenser bimetals, it should trip in the same spot of the cycle. If you run a Normal cycle, the timer will send power to the Prewash dispenser bimetal immediately after the 3rd fill (final Prewash) is complete for 90 seconds, and then to the Wash dispenser bimetal...

Oops... KDI-17; could have sworn I read KDS-17. My bad!
