I decided to bring this dishwasher out of storage and use it for a while. A very cool front-load Kitchenaid......model KDR-67B. Love the full-width bar on the door.

Control panel has buttons for Full cycle,Rinse&hold and soak cycle. I did have the timer rebuilt by Reeco.

Interior is in great shape as are the racks. Notice the racks and the door with the gasket on it are consistent with a 17 series machine.

Interior shot. There is only the bottom wash arm....no constant rinse on the top of the tank. Does anyone notice anything not consistent with a 17 series machine in this picture?

Thanks Jeff....we didn't have this out and use it when you were all here this spring. Next time we will.

That is the first DW that started it out for me. It was in that wonderful 'avocado green', had the adjustable upper rack and washed wonderfully with only the lower wash arm.
Best of luck with it!

Great looking machine. I just love the kitchen aid's.
By the way, that beautiful turquoise range has caught my eye as well. Is that a frigidaire twin-30?

<blockquote>Does anyone notice anything not consistent with a 17 series machine in this picture?</blockquote>1) Overflow float instead of pressure switch.
2) Newer style pump guard insert on the filter. The pump apparently has been changed?

Isn't that an interesting machine? Not just an ordinary 17 series...

Will wonders ever cease?
Hey Guys.. The most obvious difference to see here is that it is a 17 series machine with the 18 series pump unit. That coarse strainer in the sump and the fact that it has the float switch is the give away. It is strange that it doesnt have the upper washarm but that lower arm has got to pump water like crazy without having to split it with the top arm. I know the european commercial machines were built with and without the upper washarm option. Can we get a picture or two without the washarm and strainer to see what type of washarm support it used? Remember, the 17 and 18 tanks were totally different so one pump could not be swapped with the other. This is obviously an 18 tank since it has the depression in the center of the bottom like the normal machines. But amazingly, it had the gasket on the door! Maybe KA put these units out there for some sort of component longevity test, They often produced their derivative machine which were normal units which had all the hig level options on them like the adjustable racks and dividers.
I always like the door mounted gasket better than what they eventually did use. It stayed in place better and seemed to seal better as well.

I had one as my first ever dishwasher after leaving home. The avocado green model without the butcher block top and only the rinse & hold feature, no soak cycle. I bought it in the clearance dept at the Vancouver downtown Woodwards dept store around 1976. I remember it being an excellent dishwasher even without the middle or top spray arms and how hot the dishes were when it had finished, you couldn't touch them for awhile. Also it wasn't obnoxiously noisy either considering I lived in an apartment. The heavy duty ball casters and that towel bar handle across the front made it very easy to roll into place. When we bought our first house in 87 it went into the basement and later on I foolishly sold it for $60 I believe. The other thing I liked about it over the other makes at the time was it seemed to be solidly built and there was no exposed heating element being fan forced.
Oh please sir,
Could we get a shot of that beautiful Frigidaire range?
