    Kitchenaid KDS-58 finally having issues

    Welp...... I replaced the Orings in the detergent cup.. easy enough. Then I noticed the detergent cup was also dripping where two screw heads had broke off.. Tried drilling with some small diamond bits and gauged wire drill bits but wouldn't work. Decided the best route was to just remove the...

    Kitchenaid KDS-58 finally having issues

    So I've been using my beloved kitchenaid kds-58 daily for months now. I've had the front panel off a few times checking stuff out. Well last week I though I'd be proactive and maybe look into rotating the detergent cup 180* incase it ever starts leaking around the cup lid shafts. Well I noted...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    I have maybe 8 loads of dishes through the Dw now, and have been using cascade complete powder as well as lemi-shine in the prewash cup. All has been good. No issues with water spots. I ran a load today using the new bubble bandit I ordered, and some rubber items like these pet food bowl...

    Kitchenaid KDS-21 FREE

    I found this on Craigslist in the Knoxville, TN area. It is not mine or offered by me. Seller claims they were told the unit doesn't work, but holy cow does it look clean on the inside! At least from my untrained eye. BUT its free so maybe someone on here is interested. Here's the link. And a...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    I did just find a kds-20 upper and lower rack for sale. I can see the larger china guard and arm, but looks like the water supply tube is shorter and the unit is mounted further back on the rack. If I'm swapping a whole rack, non-issue. IF the rack is crap and I have to swap parts, I need the...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    Thanks John! This stuff smooths out quite a bit before hardening fully. I may clean it up with a red oxide pad chunk on a dremel to smooth the repaired areas a bit, and coat them with a finer brush. (the metal was badly pitted and looked like swiss cheese once I peeled off the coating). This...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    Wrong tint So I decided to mix up a tinted coat to try and color match. I thought I had it just about right, slightly lighter... AND then decided I needed one more tiny droplet of vegetable dye... And it looked good. But after drying for 5 minutes I think it's gonna be too dark. It's hard to...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    This is not the prettiest looking fix but it works and does not bother me. I used a small wire wheel on a dremel and cleaned all the rust off as well as stripped the coating back to bare metal. I then treated the surface and coated with liquid tape. This stuff has stood the test of time on...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    Let's get it fixed Ok so I would like to tackle the rust on the racks. I have seen several liquid products sold for repairing dishwasher racks. Is this the preferred method? I figured I would use a razor to cut the edges of the bad vinyl away, wire wheel the rust with a dremel, and cost the...

    Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

    Getting somewhere! Here is my 2nd load after correcting those water flow issues. This is with the heated dry as well. This was a smaller load but had some grungy pots and pans from beef stew I made yesterday as well as a muffin pan which had cornbread baked on it. Everything appears to be...

    Uninformed Washer Users

    My wife over stuffs the washer and dryer constantly, even after i've explained why she should not be doing that. So many times ive come to do a load and found them so packed that nothing could move. She also pours crystal softner directly into the front loader on the clothes before starting...
