Dishwashers - Kitchenaid vintage from CL

[frogkid11]

Does anyone know which model is in reply#15 above?

The white machine in reply #15 is something that I could make a trip for but does anyone know if this is the Superba model? I don't want to make that drive for anything less than a Superba so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks folks!

Chris, it's an Imperial KDI-21.  There's a KDS-21 in the reply #10.

Thanks Phil !

Thanks so much for helping to identify it as an Imperial. I really want to hold out for the Superba of whichever model I get. Thanks again!!

1960s Superba

Here is a Superba and owner says it's a 1960s model. I don't see any spray arm on the upper rack so I assume it's a KDS-17 or older - can anyone confirm?

Given that this is a Superba, is the lack of the upper arm a big enough issue to not purchase it? Lastly, should that little area of rust on the bottom corner of the door be alarming?

Thanks so much!!

It's a KDS 17 from 1971-74.

Looks like it has the top small wash arm, above the upper rack.

 

[philr]

Yes it does, but no wash arm between the lower and upper rack before the 18 series.

Were exterior side panels available for the 17 or was this a 57 or an electric sink model that was built-in?

It's a KDS-37 SST

Hey everyone,
So the machine I am looking at (the one PhilR just posted about above in reply #27) is a KDS-37 SST. From what I can tell, that means it was part of a stainless steel sink unit. Does this mean the machine does not make a good undercounter built-in unit when separated from the original sink unit?
