thank you hope you heal up fast!

beautiful machine i just love those g.e. dishwashers that use the vertical pump. i have 4 top loaders, and one front loader, all in various forms of assembly. 3 of my top loaders i use frequently, they're not the best but i find them such fun to use. the front loader i have never used yet, pump...

i would love to get my 1-18 up and running again. the agitate arm needs replacing and if anyone knows of one i could buy please let me know. there has got to be one out there somewhere! thanks pete

how about an agitate arm? hello, looking to buy an agitate arm for a 1-18 as mine became damaged when it dislodged from the agitate shaft. if you possibly have that part and would like to sell it please let me know. thanks pete

i rebuilt this machine last summer, putting in a new pump seal and painting underside of tub to prevent rust. i also took apart drain and fill solonoids, cleaning them to insure they work properly. i thought i was gonna keep it and use it so i pretty much checked everything. trouble is i...

thanks for the comments appnut good to see you on here, know how much you love dishwashers! and i agree, bring em back to glory! let em rule the kitchen! circle w- i just bought a later model whirlpool, guess from the 90's or maybe later but it has the 1/3 horsepower motor, vertical shaft...

i'm glad that after who knows how many years of non use this little custom model now has a new life in my kitchen! safely resting in one of two dishwasher rows in my kichen. g.e. mobile maid to the right, a 70's maytag harvest gold to the extreme right, and a late model maytag i got out of...

it does a great job washing just as any kitchenaid from that era! love the unique sound of a kitchenaid, you can tell it means business inside. not like these machines today that use about 1/2 gallon of water and dribble it around the tub taking about 2 hours to try to get the dishes clean...

it only has 2 cycles, full cycle and rinse hold. no fancy control panel here, just a timer dial and the cycle buttons. no automatic advance but as you kitchenaid fans already know the timer does manually advance all the way thru the cycle to the "off position" when using the rinse hold cycle...

haven't posted in awhile, here goes! i have had this kitchenaid portable custom dishwasher since around 2010. i remember driving from milford ohio to columbus to pick it up from some O.S.U. college kid for about 100 bucks i think! hope i didn't pay more! stuck it in the barn in the back yard...

hope you get it and post lots of pics please! loved the video revvinkevin! powerful to say the least! that's the one brand dishwasher i have never found! and if i ever do i will definately grab it if possible!

just looked at the one I have, I used a piece of black radiator hose to fit over the stub of the output on the dishwaaher. then reduced down with pvc (home depot plumbing) to attach to the drain pump I took from a Frigidaire front load washer, also attaching with a piece of hose.

looks like a fix is possible there is enough of that fitting to slip on to. I had one like that and I primed it with rusty metal primer spray paint and added a couple coats of rustoleum. then I was able to find a hose somewhere, home depot, auto parts store, not sure where but I found a hose I...

hey muntjac there are a bunch out there i am sure, craigslist is always my best hunting ground. and the nice thing is you can find the seal kits on ebay for about 10 bucks as well as other parts including motors. i'm gonna let this thread drop off so i won't be posting anything else here, if...

paul, good to hear that you still have that spin tube frigidaire in sunny yellow i believe they called it! i know it's stupid of me but whenever i either sell or give one away i actually fret over it a little bit! i know i'm not a balanced person, i admit it! but that one is a very unique...

panthera i agree i luv looking at pics on this site, no matter how many or what of, as long as an old washer or dishwasher is in them I'm captivated! i know i post a lot and it probably gets boring to some people but when i post i do it anyway.

thanks for lookin as john said the delay is also on the main wash, I thought it would just be the final rinse too! but when I ran it the main wash and final rinse was extended about 12 minutes longer to heat the water. the other 2 kenmores I have with rotoracks only heat the final rinse. I saw...

thanks for comments! hoses are all in very good shape, nice and shiny black now after a wd 40 rub down! i've found great machines around the ohio area! michigan, indiana, kentucky, but i've also gone to new york, maryland, chicago (the spin tube turquoise dude now has) and tennessee to name a...

i love the schematic for this machine, located on the inside back panel. it used drawings of the components that the wiring connects to! I'm guessing this machine is from the early to mid 60's. think I uploaded a couple of the same pics, sorry but they begin to all look the same! but I just...

so i brought it in and after making sure the motor turned freely and smoothly I put some hot water in the sump to soften the seal a few minutes and cranked it up! it ran beautifully! has an 8 minute wash, 2 3 minute rises, and 8 1/2 main wash, a 3 minute rinse and 5 minute final rinse and 15...
