Dryer Acquired First of all, thank you all for your time and information. @goatfarmer, I'd love to take a trip to Indiana, but realistically probably won't happen any time soon. I did finally pick up the dryer. It is a LDE308 and for as nice as it looks on the outside, the innards are...

Thank you all for the helpful information. I will be going to take a look at it and will likely snag it. Now that I know the light feature was a higher end option and rarer, I can live without it! I just love the look of these older machines. And I'll keep my eye open for a matching washer...

I was sent a photo of the actual dryer. It is similar to the one I originally posted but not identical. I assumed all of these style Maytags had the florescent lighting, but this one looks like its textured metal/aluminum where I've seen backlit glass on others. I am trying to make it over...

My wife and I love the vintage appliances. We have the 60's Frigidaire oven, the 60's GE Refrigerator, the 80's Kitchenaid dishwasher, the 70's Hoover vacuum, and are now in search of those sleek and sturdy 70's Maytag washer and dryers. I have come across a dryer very similar to the photo below...

Also, is there a Facebook Group devoted to this stuff? If not would anyone be interested in joining if I start one? It's quick and easy to post and comment, and a lot of these forum pages are now represented on FB so I thought I'd ask.

Hey all, Some of you may remember me adopting this dishwasher this time last year. It was free and I replaced the pump impeller and a couple seals and it has served us well for one trip around the sun! The other day I fired it up for a load and I noticed a loud whining noise that sounded...

Nearly 1 year Later... Updating everyone on my dishwasher. Its been working flawlessly for nearly a year now and last night I ran a load and noticed a louder-than-usual whining noise. I put my ear to the ground and it seems to be coming from the motor. I've heard a very similar noise before...

Week Update Alright, been using the dishwasher for a week now. I've done a few loads and absolutely LOVE IT. It heats the water and cycles through all of the features beautifully. Still can't get over the build quality of these. Opening the dishwasher is like opening a car door. I'm actually...

UPDATE I was able to get the shaft seal replaced and the drain tube sealed up so there were no more leaks. And a BIG thanks to Alan for sending me a wash pump gasket. After all that was installed and I was somewhat confident it wouldn't spill all over the kitchen floor, I was ready to pull my...

This is great Alan! I just emailed you!

Gasket anybody? Would anyone happen to know where to source one of these gaskets? I'd really like to avoid using a messy liquid gasket, especially if I'm going to be taking it back apart for future repair). Thank.

Where's the gasket... Just checked again and it's confirmed... no wash pump gasket is present on this machine. Who knows how long it's been gone, but someone must've gotten in here (maybe to fix the leaks I've already addressed) and didn't put the gasket back. I've tried searching for one...

That's a good idea. I will try that as well. Another quick questions; I've been referring to the repair manual I purchased for this dishwasher online, and in this diagram, it is showing what appears to be a gasket in between the pump cover (#1) and the lower pump housing (#3) - see highlighted...

Good and Bad News UPDATE: The seal kit came in the mail and I was able to install it and SUCCESS. No more leaking down onto the motor. But by sealing up one leak I exposed another. In the picture you can see a hole that I assume is the drain tube. It is a rubber hose with a lip that sits...

Thanks for the replies!! I'm not home so I can't look at that sticker, but from what I can tell, it's a KDI-20... Again, I'll conform that later. That is some helpful information Steve, thank you. I will keep all of this in mind when I begin the seal swap once the parts arrive on Wednesday...

Is anyone on this site anymore?? LOL. I have the dishwasher and it is in incredible shape!! Believe it or not, it still has the protective plastic film along the chrome edges of the front panels. However, it does in fact leak. I haven't plugged her in, but I dumped a little water in the base...

Hello! I'm new to this page, but feel like I may have stumbled across a wealth of knowledge that I can hopefully utilize in the weeks to come as I try and save what I think is an early 80's dish washer (first photo is one I found on Google search, the other close-up is the actual washer I am...
