Hi All
the KD-20 got here a few weeks ago and has been a lot of fun, and a few grey hairs to play with. First I found that the fan for the drying system dod not work. Not to worry we have a store here in central Florida that recyclec old electracal and electronic parts called Skycraft. they had a fan motor that I used to fix that problem. the main Problem I had was the drain for this dishwasher. I tried two diff. Pumps that have worked for me in the past, No Good the timer did not give them enough time to drain. I was rincing with soapy water. This dishwasher has a gravity drain and is installed in Fl. where we have no cellars, and is on my back porch just below grade. What to Do? I plumbed the gravity drain to the back of the cabinet cut holes so the pipe went under and out of site and hooked into a narrow bucket equiped with a sump pump and float switch. PROBLEM SLOVED. She works fine and the sump has wide enough openings to pump out any food particals that may pass the filter in the machine. The only way that I can use this machine is this way. Now since I can only use this machine as a built in in this house, I have Two side panels and a porcelain top to make a stand alone unit of you kitchenaid. They may work with a kd-11, kd-12,
kd-14 I am not sure about that but may be worth a try. the panels are yours for the asking, You pay the shipping and they are yours.
Thanks
John
