    Kitchenaid (Hobart design) Top Sprayer WEAK while bottom is strong. Where do I look?

    I opened up my 80s Kitchenaid KUDH230Y dishwasher during operation since the top rack isn't getting too clean and noticed that the top sprayer doesn't spin and it's just a little more than a dribble coming out of the sprayers. The bottom on the other hand is like a fire hydrant sprayed all over...

    Anyone know what vintage Kitchenaid Dishwasher this is?

    It looks similar to my old 1981 but simpler and a little newer. It was free! It works. Was it worth picking up? It shows kudh230y1. Curious if it's post Hobart?

    Kitchenaid KDS-19 Superba and food specs on dishes after washing

    I'm curious what I should do about this? It's more apparent in shorter cycles with less rinses.

    If you could program any sequence of wash drain rince cycles for a Dishwasher what would it be?

    I've never thought much about this until acquiring an old Kitchenaid Hobart. I noticed that it has very short sequences after someone here mentioned it and I finally paid attention. I don't think the sequences make sense (to me anyways). 'Normal' does the following: -drain for a minute or so...

    Can Kitchenaid Hobart compete with modern Dishwashers (Bosch, etc)?

    I can see the build quality vs say a whirlpool, but as to the actual dishwashing ability, I've heard that with a new Bosch, you can put filthy baked on dishes in; never rinse a thing and out come spotless dishes. I expected the same with Hobart based on how loud it is and of course the...

    Kitchenaid "No Heat Dry" Should I hear a fan running?

    I noticed there's a blower motor under this dishwasher. Should this be running on the No Heat Dry cycle? In a way I'm glad that fan doesn't run since the intake is under cabinets and air quality is questionable. But I'm curious about the motor/fan.

    New KA KDS-19. Any routine maintenance I must (or should) do?

    It works as is and works well, but I wonder if I should clean the screens or internal pump parts or change seals. It doesn't leak amazingly since it's a 1980 unit. But not knowing much, I figured it can't hurt to ask. Thanks in advance!

    How to reset Kitchenaid Kds-19?

    After a load, I've noticed I have to wait for non heated Dry before I can start the next round and often the drain motor comes on first. Is this normal?

    Best available detergent for Hobart Kitchenaid Dishwasher?

    We have powerball tabs. I read powder is best. Is there a "best" that's easy to find?
