    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Thanks Yogitunes... that looks like it will fit perfectly! I've order one, and will let everyone know my results when it arrives.

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    I actually did take my aerator adapter with me, and nothing they had would fit onto it. I could have got a different adapter, but then depending on which appliance I wanted to use, I would have had to screw in the appropriate aerator into my faucet.

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Well, I haven't had any luck finding anything that would work for what I want to do. Yogitunes, I found the adapter you pictured in reply #6, but it won't snap to my aerator on my sink. My aerator is like the one linked below. So it looks like my best bet would be to find an actual unicouple...

    kitchenaid energy saver v superba by hobart deluxe edition wont drain

    If I'm not mistaken, this looks like a KDS-20. I don't know if the KDS-20 uses the same drain valve as the KDS-18, but on my 18, you can really hear the snap of the drain valve when it opens and closes. Do you remember hearing a snapping sound when your dishwasher was working and draining...

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Thanks Lance for the offer, but the hose I am looking for is the one pictured in Reply #5 by unclejohn. I do appreciate the thought though!

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Yes, you were asking above... "I need the spout part that you lift and turn, to autorinse or fill the wash side".

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Yep unclejohn, that is the exact type of hose I am looking for. Interesting Yogitunes, your adapter in Reply #6 would work for me. I guess I should bring my faucet adapter with me and make sure that it fits properly before buying one that isn't the right one. And sorry, I don't have any spare...

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    It's a 0519, which has the automatic rinse.

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    When you say "snap coupler", do you mean a unicoupler adapter? If so, my kitchen faucet has one installed for my KDS-58. I guess I could use a washing machine hose with it, but I'd like to find an original Hoover fill hose just to have. Alternatively, I could use an actual unicoupler and then...

    Hoover Twin Tub fill hose

    Would anybody have a spare fill hose for a Hoover Twin Tub that they'd be willing to sell me? I have the end for my 0519 that plugs into the rubber port on top of the washer, but I need something to fit over my kitchen faucet. I could probably rig something up, but I'd like to find an actual...

    kds 18 poor cleaning

    I don't know if I could modify my KDS-58 this way. I know it is Hobart parts out, Hobart parts in, but to me, what is the first thing that I see when I look in my tank that screams Hobart? 4 way Hydrosweep. I mean, how many years did they use a 4 way wash arm? Of course, if it meant bringing...

    Looking for a Hobart-Kitchenaid Dishwasher

    My Energy Saver dry button also pushes in much easier than the rest of the buttons... I'm thinking that is normal. However, the blower motor should run in the dry cycle regardless of whether or not the button is pressed; the button only controls whether the heating element comes on or not...

    Looking for a Hobart-Kitchenaid Dishwasher

    The picture of the stray wire hanging down... is that hanging under center of the bottom of the front panel? If so, it could be a wire going to one of the detergent dispenser bi-metals. You can take the front panel off by removing four screws on the inside edge of the door. While you're in...

    Looking for a Hobart-Kitchenaid Dishwasher

    Make sure that the dishwasher is filling up sufficiently. There was a thread with photos to show how high the water level should come up to on the pump screen, but I can't seem to find it right now. One thing that I had to do when I got my KDS-58 was remove the water-saving disc in the faucet...

    Ge Fabric filter flo fabric softener dispenser.

    Not sure how I missed this thread. Paul, Carl (kqkenmore) is the guy to talk to for what you're looking for. I bought a mini-basket and fabric softener dispenser from him for my Filter Flo about a year and a half ago, and was very pleased with the transaction. Highly recommended!

    vintage washer with a thorough but gentle wash cycle...

    Unfortunately Kenmoreguy89, it looks like the ad you posted is for the dryer only. Nice machines though.

    vintage washer with a thorough but gentle wash cycle...

    That Dual Action Kenmore is one of the machines I'd love to get someday. Love the look of the control panel. Just saw one a couple of hours away from me that was similar to this one, except it was an 8 program model instead of 10, along with its matching dryer, listed for free pickup. If...

    vintage washer with a thorough but gentle wash cycle...

    I would have to agree with combo52, you can't go wrong with a GE Filter Flo, even without the mini basket. My daily driver is a FF, and the nice thing is that it has a separate speed switch, so you can have 14+ minutes of slow wash agitation if you use the the Extra cycle on the timer, while...

    Downsizing again... vintage KA stuff

    True enough, and it sounds like a great machine. If I already didn't have my KDS-58, I'd reconsider.

    Downsizing again... vintage KA stuff

    Sorry firedome... just realized that you have a KDI-18 and not a KDS-18. My bad.
