Where were all of you? When I had 6 of these machines sitting in back of my garage years ago? We had a slew of them in our Hobart warehouse and they were being trashed so some of us took a few home. I could not sell any of them and to the curb they went! Saved the best one for a spare in my...

Following advice Johnny, You called me about this and asked my opinion. I gave it to you based on years of experience and with the knowledge of how most of the members think on this forum. They have more experience in these matter than I have and their reactions are pretty much the same as...

No treasure in David Jones' locker! Bruce, I checked the stash upstairs but alas, I did not find the right switch for you. It turns out I have the program switch and timer from a KDP-18 which will not work for you. Keep trying.. maybe one of the other members on here will come through for you...

I may have the switch! I will have to check the attic for you, which I will do for you tomorrow. And then I will let you know. Have Faith, my friend!

That's all there is! There is only the metal fine filter in the sump and there should be a removable blue coarse filter on the right hand side of the sump that clips on to that blue lower piece you mentioned. There is always some water remaining in the sump that will work to keep the shaft seal...

safe enough If done right! Just make sure to join the sections with a black iron or galvanized coupling and use a good pipe joint compound to seal the threads. Test all connections with soapy water from a spray bottle and you should be good to go. Test the connections on the dryers too, before...

Do you have a multimeter? And do you know how to use it safely? If yes, then check the continuity of the element itself. It may be burned out. Check continuity of the high limit thermostat. And check all the neutral wires under the machine for any breaks. They can look good but like many have...

Check further... Is the energy saver button stuck causing the heating element to not come on? Are all the wires connected on the dryer housing? Is the element heating up at all? Do you feel any air coming out of the space between the upper door and lower panels when it is drying? The small...

Already told you... Jump right in and make it yourself. You have to dismantle it to do it so at least take off the top plate inside the tank and trace out a gasket.

Good Idea, John I was just looking at the thermostat on my Point Voyager Kenmore and thought the same thing before reading your comment when I came back in the house. And that has to sense the temp thru a plastic tub as well. No wonder the time delay can seem like forever! If I reinstall it, I...

Turnover??? Is it me or does the machine in the clip referred to by Pete seem to have only slightly better turnover than the 2018 domestic units? Or is it because the tub is indexing that the clothes don't rollover very well. I got more rollover in my compact Kenmore machine with nearly the...

Not a valid test.. Using a heat gun or dryer really doesn't give you a true idea what the actual temperature that the bimetal inside the thermostat is closing at. You would do better if you had a small thermistor probe hooked up to a multi-meter that is placed between the tank and the...

DIY, Marion! Marion, The part numbers of the gaskets that will work for you are as follows: 00-064225 and 00-070992. While your machine may still be in useable condition, all the parts for it that were related to its Hobart commercial cousin were obsoleted way back in 1994. Any parts that...

Great questions, Bob I picked up a used machine like the one pictured and just hooked it up in the garage this past weekend and had it run the 1 hour cycle to see how well it would do with 2 days worth of dishware and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I used Great...

Getting warmer! You took apart the wash and drain pumps inside the dishwasher. Follow the narrative in my previous response to find the drain valve. Your machine was designed in such a way that there is always pressure to drain the dishwasher because the pump motor does not reverse to drain...

Just how clean.. did the casserole on the right side of that rack in picture 4 come out? Was there enough water pressure to strip it clean and make it look like new? And I would think that if the top had as many pieces loaded in it, you would qualify for a Bob-Load for sure.

yes there is ! But!!!! The part number you are looking for is 00-117011 and is available from any Hobart office or from their E-Store at the link below. This seal will fit the 15,16 and 17 series dishwashers. If you go to your local office. Just ask for the part number and don't say its for a...

50hz pulley?? Is that Berkel pulley really the correct pulley for a Maytag Washer? That comes from a Berkel Slicer and It is available thru your local Hobart office!

Inner Circle Secret! I have to admit that I received the inner circle PDF from one of our very own members many years ago. For the life of me, I cannot remember who it was so if you want a copy, just email me and I will gladly send it to anyone who wants it. So no need to be jealous.. it is...

Details on the way! Kari, I just emailed you a copy of the "Kitchenaid Inner Circle." This was an educational aid for Whirlpool employees to help them get up to speed on the Kitchenaid dishwashers after they bought the division from Hobart. It should clarify much of the information you are...
