I scored a Reverse Rack!!

spacedogb · Jan 17, 2017

I had that exact one growing up. My dad replaced it recently. Nothing wrong with it no rust on racks or inside dishwasher. His new wife just wanted something new. So now they have some BOL dishwasher.

So far so good.

I will run my third load tonight. I am happy with it so far. It’s done a great job of cleaning everything I’ve put in. I ordered some new springs because the door will flop open with an easy tap. Once I get those installed I am going to pull out my KDS-20 and install this and see if it quiets it down enough to stand it running in the kitchen.

I did notice a very tiny drip coming from the Overflow switch area. It’s maybe a tablespoon or so of water after a full cycle. Parts are still available on eBay for that but not sure I’m going to deal with it. I’ll wait and see if this becomes my daily driver or not. Hubby really likes this machine for some reason (he normally couldn’t care less about any of this stuff) so it could become a daily driver for a while. I’ve only noticed one thing that won’t fit so far that will fit in all my KA machines. It’s one of those oversized screen things you put over a pan when you’re frying stuff. I don’t use it often but did last night.

I did expect to hear opinions all over the map but so far this machine gets my vote if I can just quiet it down a bit.

That frying screen should be able to fit on the sides of the top rack.

Either, on the right or left, right next to the wall of the tub. (not the back )...

It did when I had my reverse rack.

Just a FYI

Congrats on your RR.

Not sure if you are aware of this or not but I am almost certain you have 4 different panels behind the stainless trim pieces. You will have to check it out and see what other choices you have... I think one should be blk or a smoked panel.

I bought the BOL portable for my mother for an Christmas present yrs ago and thew ONLY thing ever done to it was lubricate the belt for it. Funny thing was it was whining really bad so she called the Maytag man and he came and looked at it and told her the pump tower was bad and it would cost over $300 to fix it. This guy took over the dealership from the previous owner who was honest as the day is long and I did NOT trust him. I knew that this could not be what was wrong because it never got used that much for that to happen. Just so happens that a guy who I knew from the restaurant where I worked who did alot of our service work for us and he also did work for home owners too and he was coming to fix her stove the next day so I told her to have Mike look at it for her. He did and all it needed was to have the belt lubricated, problem solved. Need I say more about the Maytag man. We sold the house in 2012 and it was left there for the new owner and was still working GREAT. I have the TOL RR I found at a second hand store and I love it. I found another TOL one on Craig's List I actually got for free so I have one for parts.

Thank you!

Steve, that frying screen is 13” across and won’t fit on either side. I measured there and it looks like 12" is the max that would fit (be nice boys!!). The only way I would get it in is to put it on its side maybe over the top of the glasses or something. I just washed it because it wasn’t really all that dirty.

Steven, initially I was afraid mine could be the wash tower too but I don’t think it is. It’s not really making a clanging noise or anything like that. It really is more of a whine. I wonder if it’s the belt? The belt feels greasy but who knows what they put on it. What kind of grease would I use? Do I just go to the store and look for “Silicone Grease”? There are many belts available on eBay for under $10. How would I know if I need a new one?

Congrats!

On the reverse-rack.
Temp-boost is the way to go!!
Here's the one we had when I was growing up.
Today in my kitchen I have two (2) reverse-racks.
I was a bigger fan of Maytag over KitchenAid because of capacity.
But I do love my KA KDS-21 in my basement.

chachp · Jan 18, 2017

Superba 21

I also have a 21 put away and I really like it. It's another Habitat find and STEVET really helped me getting that machine running like new.

I really like this Maytag so far but I don't think I'll ever like one more than I like the Kitchen Aid machines. You can really feel the difference in the build quality. I have to say though this Maytag really cleans well so far.

I scored a Reverse Rack!!
