Hey thanks for all the comments! For chris what kinda rack do you have?. Is it adjustable? Not that it matters at this point and they are NLA. I am very interested in what you might have there. I wonder how much it would cost to ship something like that to Massachusetts...

I replaced the wash arm and the arm support and now the dishwasher runs a bit more quiet that it was before the swap out. But it is by far not all that quiet. This machine can move water thats for sure. There is no middle arm and I told my friends mom that she should not pre rinse...the...

And the filter. This is all stainless steel since she has a heater in the sump area. Pardon the food particles on the filter base....

and the other side

rusted upper rack note that the sides of the rack is rusted. I am on the hunt for "new" racks for her.

the wash pump Here is a pic of the sump area without the wash arm or support

The wash arm supports....notice the one on the right is new and the one on the left was the original support. Note that the spindle is very worn out.

the controls

Hey all I just thought I would share a few pics of the dishwasher I am restoring back to health. Here is the beast...

Well I picked up the wash arm support yesterday and paid around $60 for it. The parts place I bought it from in Portland Maine told me that Whirlpool is discontinuing most of the older KitchenAid dishwasher parts. I wanted to order a new 4 way Hydrosweep and he told me they were NLA. Luckily I...

The wash arm is the 4 way Hydro sweep like in the pic and the wash arm support the top half of the pump. here are the parts.

and the arm

Gawd that last post of mine made no sense....sheez I should read it before I post it...what I meant to say was what you see is what you get as far as the drum is concerned. But dont let that stop you from getting one. The dryer is unbelievable in getting lint and hair off.

Not that I that i know if Jon...I think its what you see is what you get...

I love my Miele washer and dryer. But one drawback with the washer is that if you have pets or you are losing hair it doesnt do a good job removing hair and fur. Often times if I wash the blankets where the cats have slept I usually get a nice mat of fur in the drum. And if you like to hang...

This machine looks to be in great shape. Even the racks look good...no rust it seems. It would almost be worth it just for the parts. I am restoring a KDS17A and these racks would work. Plus I need the wash arm and the wash arm support since the arm and support in the machine is so worn. And for...

On my Miele 4800 each cycle is different. The Normal cycle will use a bit higher water level for wash and even higher water levels for rinse. Plus the wash action of the HydroMatic system starts off with slow tumbles to get the load wet and then it will go into a fast power tumble then slow down...

I usually stick with Downy April Fresh softener. I did buy a bottle of Snuggle Blue Sparkle...the scent is kinda nice I think but from my experience is that when it smells nice in the bottle doesnt translate to the clothes well. Funny thing about Tide 2x liquid is that I dont have a problem...

I learned the hard way with Tide HE 2X liquid. In my Miele 4800 the drum is no friend to the Tide HE Liquid. In fact Miele is not listed on the liquid...it is on the powder though. The HoneyComb drum does create suds with Tide and it will automatically go into a suds kill rinse to get all the...

I use the German Persil MegaPearls and the Original Powder Peril. They are my fave detergents and I can get them for about 45 a box. They last me a long time. I also use Tide HE powder. I dont use the same detergent for every load. So I am very familiar with German Persil. But I will admit that...
