Hey everyone, thanks so much for the replies! I’ve had it hooked up to hot water to test, and it goes through everything fine except for that one spot. It doesn’t feel stiff or anything, so I’m not sure what the problem could be. Maybe if I use it more it will loosen up? I’ll try and take the...

Anyone have any ideas? I’d really like to use this dishwasher if possible

Help! I ran my new to me 90s KitchenAid dishwasher through its first cycle and noticed two things. First, it gets stuck about halfway through the main wash cycle. If you advance the timer to the next drain, it does that and advances fine from there. Secondly, the detergent dispenser never...

Thanks for the info and replies! Is there anything maintenance-wise I need to do to it or common failures to watch out for?

Got my first vintage dishwasher over the weekend from my grandparents old house! It's a 1994 KitchenAid, model KUDD230Y2. I would love to have an old Hobart model eventually, but you can't beat free :) It wasn't used too much when new, and has only been turned on a couple times in the past 20...

I have a Maytag GDG412 dryer. This will be the third time this year I’ve replaced the belt on this dryer. The first replacement was an aftermarket NOS from a local shop, so when it started slowly shredding after a few months I wasn’t too surprised. I went the OEM route the second time and got a...

How does one go about oiling the motor on these dryers? I've seen it recommended on several posts before. I already have the Zoom Spout oil. Thanks!

Thanks everyone! And yes it’s that model dryer :) I did have another question… is there a way to bypass the lid switch without disabling the out of balance mechanism?

Thanks for the advice y’all! Got it back together today :)

Just picked up this Maytag A882 and am in the process of fixing it up. It had a bad leak from where the tub mounts to the transmission shaft, so I ordered a new seal kit and tub bearing kit. I also ordered new belts and a tub to pump hose. Took care of a few rust spots here and there, but it’s...
