ah, looks very familiar!! Steve is the best thing that happened to mine as far as these old kitchenaid units go. The guy is very helpful, and has a TON of knowledge. Next on the list would be Combo52. Also another amazingly knowledgeable fella, with a TON of experience and will to help...

perfect!!! Thanks much!! I couldnt find much for info on it at all.

OK guys, im not sure if this is 25 years or older or not, as I dont think it is. But, does anyone here know much about this machine? There is one local for sale for 25.00. Its not quite the vintage I was looking for, but if its as good of a machine as my Kitchenaid Imperial Selectra...

picked up a box of the powder last night, and I cant say I noticed much of a difference really. But, I plan on loading it up this weekend with some very dirty dishes, and we will see how it does!!!

we have just been using whatever was cheap at the time. And if this will make my Kitchenaid Imperial Selectra 21 clean better then it already does, then I think I have found myself a new daily. I will have to pick up a box of the powder here this week.

i would grab that in a heart beat for parts.

we grill on it on a regular basis. It actually works pretty well!!

Hello guys, I have an Amana ARDS800E electric downdraft range. Just curious if anyone knew what year this thing was? I just cleaned it up today really good, and it got me thinking. Since I found this forum, I have brought my Kitchenaid Imperial Selectra 21 dishwasher back to life, and the...

Thanks Ralph!!

and the last one all cleaned up. You can tell that it def. has some use on it, but now she is good as new, well, or close to it. I also fixed the lower washer arm tonight. it was sort of sloppy, so drilled and sleeved a piece of 13/32 brass tube, .014 wall thickness into the arm as a...

OK, no longer need the front panels. I used the anodized, and it honestly looks really good!!!! Its not glossy, kind of a satin black, but looks very very nice. Here are a few pictures. 6 in total

Well, found some black anodized aluminum sheet. Im going to use that. I will get a picture of the unit when it gets put back together. I have it ripped down to clean right now, and polish all the trim, clean all the old paint off, etc. Now finding some good racks.

And another thing, how about a source for the black front panels? I thought I had some .063 prefinished black sheet here at work set aside, but it seems to have disappeared.

that is very neat!!

Alright, just out of curiosity, now that it appears that issue has corrected itself, does anyone have upper or lower racks with all tines, in good shape?? Just curious as to what people would want for them. This is a very very bad thing. Im really liking this old dishwasher :)

Steve said there is diagnostic instructions in there. That was all i was looking for. I wont worry about it until/if it starts acting up again, then I will take the entire front panel off, to access retrieve the info. Thanks so much guys!!

RP2813, I did tear into it looking for the service manual, and its not there anymore. It had a sticker saying it was behind the lower front panel, but looked there too, and nothing. It dried the last cycle last night perfectly, like said above. So, I will try it again tonight, and see if it...

i am not putting rinse agent in there, and most likely should be. But, i talked to Steve tonight, and he asked me if I had accidentally turned off the heated dry. Which, I had not, but decided to cycle the heated dry cycle on and off a few times during the cycle, and low and behold, after the...
