Happy Thanksgiving Indeed KDS-15 on CL

[whirlykenmore78]

Minneapolis Mn.  I have already emailed the seller and intend to save this beauty.  It would be a dream come true as both my grandmothers had these.  Yes I know it has a KUD-23 top rack with the wash arm removed.  I am using this as a negotiating point.

I got a reply back

And made an offer on the machine.  Updates as events warrant,

"Dishes should be rinsed before putting them in, but thats how they did it back then!"

WHAT!? This is a KITCHENAID. Where did you get the impression you must pre-rinse with a KA?
Oh dear, imagine if a non-AW.org member had gotten this, then they'd be wasting SO much water when this machine is 100% capable...

Looks like a great find though - pity about the upper rack though

Update

I finalised a deal with the seller and will be picking up the machine next saturday.  A KDS-15 is one of my dream finds.  I'M SOOO THRILLED!

Pre-wash?

Had one of these years ago and I never pre-washed my dishes. That thing was 25 years old and still cleaning better than anything I have had since. Wish I had it today.

YAY Nick

I have several extra correct top racks for your new DW, let me know if I should bring one out at over the Christmas holiday, with out the correct upper rack it will be impossible to get normal sized dinner plates in this DW.
