    Acquired some Kenmore 80 and 90 series machines

    Just acquired a 90 Plus Series Kenmore washer with the triple dispensers and an 80 Series dryer from Facebook Marketplace that were about an hour away from me. About a week later, I found another identical 90 Plus washer for $40 CAD and 90 Series dryer for $50 CAD about 2 1/2 hours away from...

    KDSS-21 pictures and questions

    So I finally had time to clean up the KDSS-21 that I recently found and take some photos of it. Also have some questions from my last posting: - When I took the front cover off, I noticed that the lower door baffle looked like each side had either been chewed away by a mouse or gotten brittle...

    Found a KDSS-21

    About a week ago, one of my Kijiji searches turned up a KDSS-21 about 15 minutes away from me. At first I thought I wasn't going to go get it, but then a few days went by and the ad stayed up, so I thought it was a sign that I needed to pick it up. Contacted the seller yesterday and he said it...

    KDS-18 Detergent Dispenser Gasket

    I had the front panel off of my KDS-58C tonight while running a load of Christmas cooking pots and pans so I could check on the rinse agent dispenser, as I noticed the last few times I had run the dishwasher, I wasn't hearing the usual solenoid snap at the start of the final fill (more on that...

    Canadian 1970's Kenmore

    So I found this 1970's Canadian Kenmore washer for sale a few hours away from me. It is identical to the first automatic that my family had when I was growing up. If I remember right, one of the support rods broke away from its upper cabinet mount, and because of the rust, we ended up...

    KUDS-23 timer question

    I had just started a Pots & Pans cycle of my KUDS-23, and realized a bit later that I had forgotten to add something. By this time, the cycle had progressed to the wash after the initial heating period, so I waited until mid way through the wash once the reheat period had started. I opened the...

    KUDS230B0 - Lessons Learned

    A few weeks ago, I opened the door of my KitchenAid KUDS230B0 after the cycle was done, only to be surprised that although the bottom rack was clean, the top rack of dishes hadn't been properly cleaned, and there were significant food gibbles on some of the bowls. I ran a Rinse and Hold to see...

    Found a KitchenAid KUDS23

    Monday afternoon I drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up a KitchenAid KUDS230B0 dishwasher. I found it on Kijiji for $60 CAD, and from the pictures it looked like it was in really good condition. When I got there, the pictures weren't lying... it was in terrific shape: the tank was mint except for a...

    "Converting" a KDS-18 into a 17

    Here's a question that I've wondered if anybody else has ever wondered about or even tried... what would happen if some kind of stopper of the appropriate size was placed in the upper spray arm hose of a KDS-18 machine, blocking all water to the upper spray arm, effectively converting it into a...

    Just picked up a KDC-59

    The university that I work for every year has a huge garage sale, and I always volunteer one day to help them set up. This year, a KDC-59C came rolling in, so I decided to pick it up for $25. It looks like someone was using it as a built in, as the butcher block top was missing, and the...

    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 timer question

    Sorry everyone for being such a pain, but I'm new to the KDS world and appreciate all the help you can offer me to help keep my machine running for many years to come. My 58 is behaving a little bit strange I believe. In a "Normal" cycle, after the second pre-wash drain, sometimes the timer...

    More progress on my KDS-58C

    With some great advice from this site, I've now been able to change the o-rings in my KDS-58C's detergent dispenser as it was dripping and had shown evidence of it doing so for a little while. Was able to drive out the pins with a punch and hammer after a little squirt of WD-40 on each, and...

    Question for stevet about my KDS-58

    Using the service manual, I was able to get the old power cord and reel out of the machine fairly easily. However, I was surprised to see that the wires did not end up in the field wiring compartment box, but were simply attached to L1 and L2 via wire nuts that were located close to the drain...
