    Free KDS-16 Superba in Chicago

    Part of my decision making process is that I actually have a brand new dishwasher sitting in my spare bedroom--our realtor told us our co-op board wouldn't let us use the KA, which turned out not to be true but by the time I found that out I'd already snagged a $900 LG that had been marked down...

    Free KDS-16 Superba in Chicago

    Theoretically I could, but I haven't been able to find anyone to service it and and can't really afford to put much money into it right now :( I restore old stuff for a living and was super excited about this dishwasher, but my partner has reached the "omg, does EVERYTHING have to be a project?"...

    Free KDS-16 Superba in Chicago

    The main seal on the tub needs to be replaced, but as far as I know everything else is in good working condition. It's had the same owner its entire life, and judging from the condition of the other fixtures in this home, I'm guessing it's been meticulously cared for that whole time. It breaks...

    Alright, so I gave it a go and dumped some hot water into the tub, and it promptly started leaking out of the bottom of the machine. I can't see exactly where the leak is coming from, but it's kind of flowing down the side of the motor. Is this the kind of thing I call in a professional for?

    New owner of a Kitchenaid Superba KDS-16 - help with hoses?

    Thanks Ralph! The only reason I'm worried about the hoses is that this is an apartment, and the last thing I would want to do is cause issues for my new neighbors. (Everyone in this building is pretty, erm... "involved" with what their neighbors are up to, and regarding the dishwasher, I've...

    New owner of a Kitchenaid Superba KDS-16 - help with hoses?

    Hey everybody! I just discovered these forums last week and holy crap, this has got to be one of the most helpful, friendly places on the entire internet. I recently bought a condo that was occupied by the same family from when it was built in 1948 until now, and I feel like the luckiest girl...
