Upper manifold issue, maybe? When Kitchenaid discontinued using a constant rinse on the top of the tub, they replaced it sometime later with a supply manifold for the upper wash arm under the top rack with a manifold with a small slit in it that would spray water over the tops of whatever was...

steam/sani thermostat and yibbles too! Have you determined if the hold thermostat is a normally open or normally closed thermostat? I have a number of thermostats from older Kitchenaids that function at different temperatures. Notably one at 165 degrees. Check the wiring diagram and see if you...

Bearing and seal local purchase Your bearing should be readily available at any good transmission and bearing shop in your local area. A cursory search on the web indicates that the bearing you are looking for may most likely have been replaced by a 6205 or 6305 bearing. When I say...

What "PRO" are these machines aiming for? I have to laugh at the marketing of any appliance called "Pro or Professional grade." Obviously these are better built units than their "Badger" line of disposers and have more features. When I see people in HD or Lowes buying the cheapest ISE...

Leak Detection You will need to remove the lower kickplate and the lower panel in order to see where the leak is coming from. Then you should post some pictures here of the leak or post a video link if you upload it to youtube or other video sharing app. I will guarantee that there will be many...

Just Humming? You do not mention if what you hear is the actual pump motor running or not. If the pump is, in fact, running but you hear no water splashing around, is the water turned on to the machine or in the house itself? Check and see what is actually happening and let us know so we can...

No check valve! This is a whirlpool power clean based pump system. There isn't the classic blue check valve, mentioned above, that was used on the 21 and 22 series machines. The Power clean setup used a check ball inside the drain adapter screwed into the base of the pump under the machine. As...

Merry Christmas, David Sent you a nice surprise. Hope you like it! Steve

"take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning." If the doctor tells you this, would you take 6 aspirins and not expect some sort of negative result? Basically, the 20-25psi spec provides the proper amount of rinse water required by NSF to sanitize your dishes. The spec also helps to insure that...

How old is your mixer? It has to have been made prior to 1974 because Hobart Manufacturing Co. became Hobart Corporation in 1974. The possibility exists that there were left over bowl clamps like yours that continued on the assembly line but they probably changed over to say Hobart Corp at...

May be something as simple... As a bad wash arm support keeping the arm from turning properly and distributing the water. Or not enough water getting into the machine especially considering the hardness of your water. Your Model number is needed since you could have a 14 or 15 series machine...

WHAT A FAR CRY FROM THE US MADE TIMERS! Tim, I have never seen a timer like that on this side of the world. KA used Singer or Mallory timers in the machines they made here for 110v60hz machines. And seems to have far fewer connections than the machines had here. Is just the fan or heating...

Picture this... Like I mentioned before, due to my lack of familiarity with your machine, I cannot make sense of the drain chamber picture you posted. Is there a better picture or maybe a picture from the parts manual to look at? I know how reluctant you might be to remove one of the other...

3D printed replacement? Is it possible that you could have someone or some company that does 3D printing, make a replacement for you? I am not familiar with what this chamber looks like and could not tell from your picture so I don't know what might be involved with making a replacement. I...

has the XL Turns out it is the Bravos XL machine. It seems that the machine just does not have any real turnover and the load never gets fully submerged. It does work better when he adds the extra water but still not totally acceptable. The load is comprised of 5 pairs of work pants and work...

A Co-Worker has the above Bravos Top Loader and would like to adjust the water levels higher than factory settings because most of the time, his laundry comes out with clothes that have dry spots on them. He uses the bulky cycle so it fills up more and still has dry spots at the end of the...

":Single Arm" First, Ben... just what part of the single or should I say, straight arm, would you be interested in? And Roger, I may have misled you and others who are not familiar with this setup. The last "single" arm Kitchenaid was the 17 series. That was a single Hydrosweep arm on the...

Just wanted to put this out there. I am relocating to a smaller home and have decided that I do not want to bring my KDS-18 with me as I moved the KA tall tub there instead because of the kitchen's proximity to the main living areas of the house and the need for a quieter machine. I do not...

Dimensions, maybe? Louis, Can you measure the opening so I can see if I have anything that might fit? Or once we all know what it is, maybe one of us has an airgap that will fit and be held in place by the more standard nut and washer setup. You can always secure the screws with nuts on the...

Inside pics? What holds the airgap in place inside the tub? You may be able to use an airgap from an older KitchenAid machine. They went in just like your machine and were held in with a nut. The fill hose connected to the top of it. I may have just what you need.
