Found this in the haulaways today...

A Kitchenaid KDS19. VERY CLEAN! I haven't been able to play... ERRMMM... test it yet, but so far it needs door springs.

Say ahhhh!

The inside of the tub is so clean. No rust or chips anywhere.

 

[redcarpetdrew]

The racks are also in perfect condition.

The model tag...

Any ideas on age? I can't wait until I can see what's up with it. Anything I should be looking for?

A Very Well preserved Dowager..

Will never reveal her age!
Beautiful machine for sure and you can check one of the other threads on here for the production dates on the machine, It wasn't made for too long a period. Yours looks hardly used!
The 20 has a nearly identical console but a change in the cycles and of course the heated dry!

I am guessing

1982?

Beautiful! Now if you convert it to heated dry, you'll really be grooving

 

[xraytech]

looks beautiful, how I wish I could find one of those around here

WOW, minty inside and out! So, which Kitchen-aid dishwasher are you gonna end up keeping by the years end?

KDS19

We had the same exact machine in white. Made from mid 1979 until about 5/1981
Realy good machine. Even without the heated dry it worked good if you used jetdry.

KDS 19

Peter is right on target with the age of this DW. You don't need heated dry I never use it where I live and with the the low humidity you have I dough you would need it either.

Still

has the black rubber lower rack shipping bumper in place in the right rear corner.

 

[appnut]

Even still has

The small items basket.

Holy Crap

That's the exact same KitchenAid I bought only in 1981. Mine was a Energy Saver IV. Same cycles . No Heat Dry,and I really can't tell the difference unless it had the water Heating sequence changed. Does yours have the Overhead Constant Rinse ? I have a KDS 20 whcih is the same machine only the cycles are different. But also has the heated dry after it was proven the dishes didn't dry well at all.

Here's the 20 shots...
