    KDW-5 Help!

    DIY Project! If you realize that you are looking for parts that are nearly 60 years old and have been obsoleted almost as long(especially thanks to Whirlpool), you can look for the parts on Ebay or take the item in your #5 picture and use it as a template for tracing and cutting out new...

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

    Easy does it! All lower racks from the 15 thru the 23 series will fit your machine but the 18 started the rack set up with the plates facing forward on the left side and all the rest going on the right side facing left. The 15 thru 17 had a section in the middle facing forward and then there...

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

    A roll of the dice! Anytime you buy something from any classified source and even Ebay and such, you run the risk of seeing the things you have shown us. Porcelain is durable but can be delicate at times. The spot on the edge of the door is easily repairable and since it is where the gasket...

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

    KDS15 with labels I would surely pick up the unused KDS15. It was a fantastic machine and like most have said, load it right and it will never fail you. Definitely do like John L said. Insulate the tank with dynamat or some other thick product you can find. They are notoriously noisy and...

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

    ISE/KA22 The ISE 400 you noted above is basically the same as a Kitchenaid 21/22 Custom or Imperial model machine and will give good results and be less prone to being affected by poor scraping habits. The actual disposer assembly in the pump will chew up small pits and bits of small bones...

    kitchenaid dishwasher # kudp220t6 serial#fb20302160

    Definitely belongs in the Imperial Forum Your dishwasher was the last of the truly Hobart Spec machines using the Hobart designed pump system. It was likely built in the late 80's and then was followed by the 23 series that looked like your machine but had the Whirlpool designed Power Clean...

    Frigidaire 1-18 agitator cap

    A change of heart? Chris, I thought you were a die hard wringer washer user. But that set would be hard to turn your back on. Maybe the dryer needs new rollers and glides or maybe the drum got jostled around when it was being moved? Hope you sort it all out. If I worked in your area more, I...

    KDS-20 won’t fill, pics attached

    more specifically... Is it leaking in the area that the towel is under the motor or behind the tag on the right side of the picture where the green and yellow wires are? For reference, the blue valve on the left is the water fill valve that has a fine mesh screen right behind the incoming...

    Getting my kdss-21a ready for daily use, need some loading tips

    Detergent? Eugene. What detergent are you using? I switched from Finish tablets with the red ball to Cascade complete pods recently and the Cascade brought my cutting boards back to sparkling white which was something the Finish could never do. Also, the inside of my KA tall tub sparkles like...

    Regal Poly Perks

    A Premium Prize! Many years ago, Stanley Home Products, the originator of the in-home demonstration party, gave the Poly Perks as a premium prize for sales and future bookings. They came in different colors, like Poppy Red, Avocado, Harvest Gold and White. My mother was a major unit manager...

    Found a Kitchenaid KDS-18 Superba Questions

    Hey Wes... The seller is asking way too much for the machine. I would not pay more than 50 bucks for it and even then you have to remember that there are almost no parts around for it anymore except from members of this forum. While most consider this machine the best that was ever produced by...

    Bearings and Rinse Aid Gasket

    Spacedog, Sent you an email on the above. It is a real challenge with those classic machines. Imagine something lasting 50-60 years and still working. Amazing! Thanks Steve

    LG Dryer air flow error

    Nobody willing to offer a guess? I was surprised to not have anyone chime in on this popular error on the LG dryers. I had hoped that maybe one or two of our members who might service LG's would have some insight into the issue and possible solution. It happened again over the weekend and I am...

    Kitchen aid VS Bosch video

    Coincidence? I was in Home Depot yesterday and happened upon that very Kitchenaid and thought the same thing about the lower tub bottom. Definitely more room in the top rack. Water supply tubes are pretty small to the upper racks but it must be adequate. With the lowered bottom, the user has to...

    getting power to new washer/dryer stack unit

    Check the installation guide... at the Whirlpool Website for your model(s) and it should explain what to do to install the units.It would make sense to me to have separate power supplies so if one unit goes down, you can still use the other, but what do I know?

    LG Dryer air flow error

    We have a model DLEX3570 LG electric dryer which has always given us the "Air Flow' error D80. This happens long before the lint screen is clogged and usually about when the clothes are fully dried. The filter is cleaned after every load of clothes and if not, then immediately prior to drying...

    Who Made This Dishwasher?

    any more info? On these Westinghouse DW's? I have only the slightest recollection of what they were like having gotten a front load portable from a co-worker back in the early 80's and it reminded me of the Kitchenaid 15 series style pump. I gave it to a friend's Mom, but never got paid. She...

    Anyone know what vintage Kitchenaid Dishwasher this is?

    Newer and improved As was pointed out, the 23 series was the last iteration of the Hobart designed machines. It did have the power module wash system and most models had the heat delay on the wash portion of the cycle that ensured the water was heated to an effective temperature to clean the...

    Maytag Centennial set Daytona Beach

    I have to defer to all the washer/dryer experts on here as to your opinions and experience on the set in the attached Craigslist link. The dryer is obviously Whirlpool based, but what about the washer? Were these truly "commercial" quality or just a rebadged Whirlpool. I am inquiring for a very...
