noticed the date It looks like the camera calendar is programmed for the UK.......day/month/year, rather than month/day/year

I have a TOL Frigidaire which is very efficient and pulls gallons of water out of the air each day.  I have it drain through a hose into the basement floor drain otherwise I would need to empty the bucket twice a day during the muggy part of the summer.  I have it set to run continuously in...

That drum fixture is very much like the ones we had in the house where I grew up and the house I'm in now still had them when I moved in.  I have a 9x12 galley style kitchen.  After helping a friend install new lights in his kitchen I replaced the central ceiling one with a halogen track type...

Holy cow!  I saw one of those in an old magazine once.  It was in a feature article about ultimate "California style" living.  I had no idea there was one in existence in this part of the country.

If there is a quiet dehumidifier out there, I sure would like to know about it!  My experience of 50-some years has been that dehumidifier+quiet is an oxymoron.   Why do the fans on these things have to be so loud?  Mine runs continuously from March through October to keep mold growth at bay in...

First test run Here's what I did and what I've learned so far.  Using a laundry tub drain stopper I plugged the dishwasher drain then poured in 2 gallons of hot water.  I let that sit for about 30 minutes and then started her up.  I'm working out in the garage and couldn't lay my hands on the...

That is funny.  I often wondered why dishwashers were never an option in all those houses.  Eventually some people got portables.  We got one when I was about 14 and then by the mid 70's some people remodeled the kitchens and installed built-ins.   The only built-in dishwashers I remember from...

So, John, if I understand correctly what you're saying, and after looking at my machine and the pic of the drain assembly that Mike posted, the solenoid is energized to keep the valve closed until drain periods when the spring pulls the valve open?  Then the water drains either by gravity or the...

Brings back memories! Orrin Thompson, the developer of the 50's/60's era "ticky tacky" suburb where I grew up put GE appliances in all the houses, including the gas furnaces and water heaters.  As the houses were being built the purchasers could choose to have a freestanding range or either of...

That must be a KDI 22.  My 21 doesn't have that type of upper rack and on the KDI 18 I had years ago the upper rack had the adjustable pins.

The door gasket is dried up and crumbling a bit at the bottom.

The drain solenoid is still there.  It remains to be seen if it works.  I'm just missing the actually valve/drain coupling.  This is a gravity drain model.

I saw their ads on TV and looked them up online.  I'm very intrigued!  I think the no-chemicals and no detergent residue is a fantastic advancement in carpet cleaning.

What's the concensus? So, what do you think?  This will be my first major appliance restoration and I'm hoping to take advantage of the wonderful collective wisdom here!   Neil

There's one very important part missing......the drain valve!  The person I bought this from had a tough time getting the dishwasher disconnected in order to remove it from the house and somehow misplaced the part.  He has looked high and low and can't seem to find it.  I hope I can find another...

Looking underneath.   The wiring looks pretty good overall, but there's some rust which doesn't bode well.  What do you think?

The water inlet manifold looks iffy

The sump area.  The house this dishwasher came out of obviously had hard water.

Fairly clean inside and no chips in the porcelain.
