Thought I'd start a new thread regarding my 1966 kitchenaid. While running a full cycle today with the panel off I noticed water leaking from the rinse dispenser area. My first thought was the cork gaskets. I also noticed the rinse dispenser did not appear to work. While taking it apart I...

Swing door for detergent dispenser not always closing This is intermittent, sometimes it closes on the main wash semi-circle, other times it refuses to shut and springs open. Thoughts? Kind of dead-in-the-water with the malfunction.

Thanks Combo52! Added a somewhat weak photo of what I see, it's right under the cabinet. I noticed that had to cut away the bottom of that cabinet to accommodate the Caloric range too. so, no room for a hood.

Ultra ray broiler used 220? My mother dumped our range 5 years ago - heartbroken! Repair Guy said he could no longer find replacement parts. Same color, coppertone. I now own the house and have a Romex line sticking out of the wall where the broiler would have been. My question is if that was a...

Watched Sanicycle with front panels off That was a great suggestion, and after doing so, the rinse-aid had nothing to do with the over-sudsing, in fact, that dispenser seemed to be working fine. It is only when I added detergent to the prewash area that I had the suds leaking from the bottom of...

Rinse aid dispenser So after removing the front panel I discovered that the rinse aid dispenser was bone dry after filling it with a large amount of the Jet-dry- my sudsing issue! I wonder if it would hurt to fill it with water and see how it operates, bring the door back into place, and see if...

How to disassemble rinse aid section for inspection? I think this is my excessive sudsing, front door leaking problem. I noticed the dip-stick for the jet dry was bone dry. Perhaps it is all leaking out during the wash. How would I disassemble this section from the door to inspect?

Yes, I have used the toothpaste method Very good results. Also using aluminum foil and saltwater.

Yes, I did add rinse aid And some was spilled and settled around the rim of the reservoir.

Detergent I'm using (See Image) also, of note, both times I had issues I was adding to the pre-wash area. The times I did not I only filled the regular wash area.

Leaking from bottom corners of the door This happened the last two cycles I ran, no issues before. Another oddity, this only happens during the first wash cycle, then stops for the remainder of a full or sanicycle - weird! After digging around previous posts, someone suggested the issue was...

Thank you, it runs like a charm! Recommend Detergent Well all three hoses needed replacement, the two outlet hoses and the one input. But man it runs like a champ. There was one small leak in the sump that seemed to seal by the end of the cycle. Could someone recommend a modern dishwasher...

Fantastic source thanks everyone - next question Okay, my corbin pliers come in today, so this weekend I'll replace that intake hose that goes from the back of the water intake valve to the copper pipe that runs up the left side of the unit. Everything looks fantastic underneath, especially the...

Update - more issues While installing a new drain hose the flexible hose on the opposite end of the copper pipe fractured (inside the unit). After 55 years it was brittle. I had enough of the 5/8 hose left over to replace that lead. However, a further inspection revealed a cracked rubber water...

Any suggestions on cleaning the top portion of the unit? Fine steel wool? I tried magic eraser, it worked to some degree. Bartenders Friend worked very well on the stainless.

Thank you for all of the input, it was very helpful. So, yes, copper plumbing was part of the drain assembly. You can see the flexible hose in photo #1 leading over to it. The copper bridges between the cabinet wall. I'll continue to the garbage disposal with the 5/8 recommended hose. The...

Thanks for the responses, very helpful. I need to take the Action Indicator off to remove the bottom panel. I'm pulling but it doesn't come off very easlily. Sure don't want to break it. Suggestions?

This dishwasher was installed in 1966. I love this unit and do not want to replace it. However, I'm somewhat hesitant to try it, figuring the seals are all shot after all these years. I do not think my mother has used this in years. Also (refer to photo 5) there is a copper high-pressure tube...
