I insulate mine too!
stevet and I have the same idea, but I take mine one step further. I isolate the machine from the floor with a thick rubber spacer. I picked up a large heavy Fernco coupling at HD and cut it up. It really cuts down on the vibrations transmitted to the floor. I really don't want to hear the motor noise but I do want to hear the water swishing past the door.
Jeff glad surgery was successful, long ago we had the same machine.

Aren't They Great ?
Congratulations on your repair. I just love my KDS-18. I hope it lasts for as long as I'm alive. I as well just love the noise they make. It just takes me back to the 70's and 80's, When we built things here in the states and quality and pride took the front seat. Come to think of it, I love all my machines.

Is this the same rinse dispenser as the KDS 14? I need one badly. Can anyone help?

Same old! Same old!
Whitekingd,
The dispensers were the same on the 14 thru the 18's so if you find one in good shape, have at it. You may have to replace the gaskets but you can still get them from Hobart if Whirlpool doesn't carry them any more. If you need a part number, let me know and I will give you the current one so you can order them.
Hope this helps.
Steve

Thanks for all the nice words, I am happy to have my baby back running the way it should. I have grown so accustomed to this dishwasher I would HATE to have to replace it with a modern one.
Below is another brief video shot back in November, its not as "compressed" as the other one and gives a better idea of the sound.
