Is anyone willing to part with an upper rack for a KUDS-23 in good condition? If so, would love to hear from you. The plastic along the sides can detract from an otherwise good machine.

KUDS-23 Upper rack
Any upper rack for a 19-23 series KA Superba or Patrician will work for this machine. I'm sure if you ask John LeFever (Combo52)he will have what you need.

Different wheels
Hi Kate, I believe only a rack for a 23 series machine will fit. The 19-22 series had smaller wheels and a smaller track opening. The 23 series used wheels and rack tracks the same size as other Whirlpool dishwashers.
If you can only find one from the 19-22 series you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">may</span> be able to switch out the wheels, but i'm not positive. At some point Hobart/Whirlpool started to rivet them onto the basket frame (instead of screwed in).
John L (combo52) or Steve (SteveT) will know for sure. Good luck!

Top Rack For A KDS-23
Hi, Yes [ Hi Alan ] you are correct the wheels are bigger, you need a top rack from a KD-23 DW. I will try to remember to look this weekend to see if I have a good one to sell.
Whirlpool improved the top rack wheels on the 23 series, the earlier Hobart designed machines had a lot of problems with broken top rack wheels unless you pulled the top rack in and out carefully and only from the center.

John & Alan,
How long did KA use the improved top rack? Could a later model than a 23 series could serve as a donor?
