Deciding on a KDS-?? KA dishwasher...can't decide

Thanks John!

This stuff smooths out quite a bit before hardening fully. I may clean it up with a red oxide pad chunk on a dremel to smooth the repaired areas a bit, and coat them with a finer brush. (the metal was badly pitted and looked like swiss cheese once I peeled off the coating).

This material has a good working time. A couple minutes after it's set, you can peel and rub areas away like rubber. After about 20minutes it starts getting hard. After 24hours it's hard but can flex, such as if you brushed it on wiring. Been good stuff for me. Get it in bottles at any electrical supply place or section.

Looks good and should hold you over until a nicer rack with a larger wash arm comes your way.

I did just find a kds-20 upper and lower rack for sale. I can see the larger china guard and arm, but looks like the water supply tube is shorter and the unit is mounted further back on the rack. If I'm swapping a whole rack, non-issue. IF the rack is crap and I have to swap parts, I need the water tube as well correct?

Top Rack From A KDS-20

You can either use the entire rack or parts of it to convert your nicely repaired rack to the larger wash arm, it will work either way.

I have maybe 8 loads of dishes through the Dw now, and have been using cascade complete powder as well as lemi-shine in the prewash cup. All has been good. No issues with water spots.

I ran a load today using the new bubble bandit I ordered, and some rubber items like these pet food bowl rims, were left with a white powder on them, other rubber items weren't. Some glasses had water spots and others didn't.

Not sure what to make of it.
