funny how we notice what appliances the sitcoms had on tv! i am fortunate enough to have a flair double oven and range top like samantha had in her kitchen. dont use it but it will work. this timer dial on the control panel i like cause it's the same one i had on that first dishwasher i...

that's it for now. i'm working on 3 machines these days. when one bores me i switch to another one! all are G.E. including this hotpoint and an older g.e. impeller machine as well as a top load mobile maid. g.e. and kitchenaid, my favs i guess. the majority of my collection is are these 2...

motor off and entire pump area full of crud! drain port completely clogged with same rusty crud! had to use a drill bit to open it up. had a funky check valve built into the drain port that i have never see on any of these machines before. stainless drain impeller actually came out very...

motor came out pretty easily i must say, but tub has some major issues where rubber coupling attaches to tub. i can fix it tho, i'm sure! i'm also dealing with same issue on a g.e. mobile maid machine. when i get into that part of the work i will post a thread and pics. this machine will...

first i tried to get the wash impeller out without having to break it apart. i rigged up one of my "pullers" that i have been successful with in the past. sadly this one didn't work. so i smashed it out carefully with a hammer and screwdriver. i have 5 more of these impellers i got on ebay...

this dishwasher is rough but i just love these old hotpoint machines with the black pump assemblies and the 1725 rpm motors. i know they don't clean worth shit but this was the first dishwasher style i ever worked on back in the 60's when i was about 13. i've had these dishwashers off and on...

i'll do the sleeve bearing question first. i can never remember how to lubricate a sleeve bearing properly. i know grease will ruin them quickly you folks have advised me in the past. this hotpoint has a very tight turning bearing right under the water seal and i'm hoping to get the seal out...

thanks paul i think i got it figured out but when you do run across that wiring diagram send it my way if you feel like it. appreciate it! gonna have this one running in a couple days here, as time permits. something about these old impeller machines i really like! I've got this one and also...

for a g.e. impeller dishwasher 1sp40n. i am confused on how the drain pump fits into the wiring, and also wondering if that dishwasher used a pressure switch on it's fill. i've had mine since 2012 but never really did it justice. giving it a complete tune up now! thx!

i paid 100 or less for the exact one i have. got it in cleveland about 10 years ago. way overpriced this one i'd say. guess it boils down to how bad you want it.

think i actually bought the last two that were available from a hobart location in dayton about 15 years ago or so. at least they told me i was getting the last two they showed in inventory.

figured out the wiring questions i had. that top console is for a rapidry model and i had a motor/ transmission unit with rapidry lying around so i used it on that machine. hooked it all up and it functions fine! now i just have to reassemble the machine and test it out! i see that on those...

Here are pics Of the control panel of the top I am working with today. Not sure which model this is. Anyone know please?

thanks for the comments to pete, dan, grn (love the pics too!), hoover, combo, bris, always love reading your feedback and comments. DUMB QUESTION HERE!!!!! can't believe i don't know this but i'm always learning. on a 2 speed washer motor like my rollermatics use i understand how the...

Love these machines! Noisy as hell and really pack a punch inside but they are so nostalgic! I can never get enough of em and couldn't care if they break my dishes! I think I have about 5 or 6 and just found pump seals on the web!

It is now Getting a very detailed overhaul in my workshop! Motor humming was caused by a sock tangled up in the pump. Just posted a thread on the imperial page.

Hope you don't scrap it Someone will grab it from you if you can just leave it be for a bit. It was the best dishwasher Hobart ever made in my mind altho some will argue the 18's were better. No new machine will come close! If I didnt have about 20 I'd be interested in it myself! Hopefully you...

Tennessee Not that far from Ohio. A possibility here! price seems fair (now). I've never paid more than 200 for any of my rollermatics.

Can never Have enough pink! Beautiful set of machines!

Steve I'm always amazed at all the knowledge you have and share on this site when it comes to Hobart kitchenaids and dishwashers in general. You have got to be the expert of experts here! You have helped me over and over again! Hobart kitchenaids are my favorite dishwashers, the 15 thru 17...
