here's a pic of that lid spring rod thing that broke off. I circled the damaged area, think I can fix it. it uses 2 of these rods, each one hooked to the lid itself on opposite sides, the other end of the rods hook into the main frame. but it's gonna take removing the entire top control panel...

the lid will not stay up at this point thought it was a unhooked spring but later found it doesn't use springs, uses a set of 2 rods that twist back and forth, one is not secured properly. so for now a stick will do! has an interesting water float shut off. the water level would have to rise...

saw this on craigslist in Detroit suberb area and decided to go get it, especially since it was only 40 bucks! what did it for me was it is a Kenmore d&m top loading dishwasher with a roto rack! this is my 4th D&M machine, have a modern maid front loader, a lady Kenmore top loader and a sears...

thanks to all for the comments and hope this little g.e. bowtie from so many years ago brought some happiness to all who viewed this post, especially these days with all the seriousness of corona going on! it definitely is noisy and it does shimmy when it washes! all those old g.e. mobile...

thanks for the welcome back couple more shots of it here. the tub is in pretty good shape, no rust but a lot of scale buildup in the bottom. here's the front panel, also badly rusted. i will post pics later when i get it painted pink, i think it deserves to be pink! when the timer gets to...

i took the fill solonoid off and gave it a tuneup when i first got this dishwasher, put a new washer in the hose this week. was dripping a bit. when the fill solonoid comes on it simply shoots water down a spout into the tub! i always loved that big control knob they had! and when it gets to...

after a lapse of almost 8 years i have gotten back into my applaince hobby, mainly as a way to stay positive during the past couple months. tonite i thought i'd revisit my g.e. bowtie that i picked up in toledo ohio around 10 years ago. it came from kelleys island and was kept in a summer home...

not sure if it's the one you need but I see whirlpool spanner wrenches on ebay for about 12 bucks free shipping. about to order one myself to get tub nut off a whirlpool I am working on.

that's how i did mine used a relay in reverse mode since the solonoid shuts off for the drain instead of kicking on. i buy small 120 volt relays on ebay all the time for projects. it's an easy fix, i looked at mine last nite, not using it these days but the drain pump i attached and the relay...

from ohio that's interesting, i live in ohio, columbus and milford, but it's not me. i've been working on a kds-18 of my own here lately. if you happen to get it after all, or another one pump seals are available on ebay for about 7 bucks each, i just bought 3 or 4 last month. later on this...

i love those old bendix front load machines! as a kid i remember my aunt jackie had the only front loader washer in our family, a bendix and i used to love to watch it operate! all those suds in the window! and that wonderful quiet gentle swishing sound as it tumbled. such wonderful memories...

thanks to everyone who responded with info, i will be careful. but since this washer still has the original dual capacitor and it's been stored for about 9 years i don't want to run the motor till i change out this capacitor. i read here that they wear out with age, leak, and become useless...

hi paul i added a drain pump to my kd-12, just went on ebay and bought a cheap washer drain pump and connected it via hose to the gravity drain output on the kitchenaid. i forget how i wired it, think i used a relay to turn it on and off, powered by the electrical supply to the drain valve, i...

took about 7 years out and really did nothing with my appliances but find good homes for some of them, hopefully they are still humming along or finally humming! but this year even before corona hit i started to gain interest again, caught myself checking out craigslist and ebay which is always...

and a couple more pics here. I have had this dishwasher about 10 years and rebuilt the pump when I first got it. I just used it last week and it still works great! it's one of my favorites! hope you enjoy.
