KitchenAid Dishwashers

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support AutomaticWasher.org:

thanks Gan -nearly passed out watching that scene and still get a long laugh from it. I thought the sister-in-law locked it, just to keep him out of the laundry room. I'm not familiar with any washer that locks - and fyi, that would be me getting physical and throwing a few choice words out, for good measure.

Thanks for the heads-up on that KDS-15!

There is New News on my search for the elusive pink control panel - Alan bigalsf found one for me, and shipped it to me this week, complete with the cycle controls and the door latch handle.

So, I'm good, and thanks very much for keeping your peepers peeled! It has been a LONG search. There's a thread on it in Imperial.
 
Unlucky 13:

According to the sheet of KitchenAid production dates I have (reproduced below), there was not a 13 series; the numbering went from KD-12 right to KD-14.

The superstitions about the number 13 are probably the reason. There's many a building that does not have a thirteenth floor. While the people at Hobart may not have been superstitious, they were selling to a public that has many superstitious members. There's no reason to shoot your sales down with a "13" model number if it can be avoided. [this post was last edited: 12/4/2014-11:30]

Jason:

You're welcome, but I only re-posted that chart. According to Super Searchalator, it was originally posted back in 2010 by Peter rollermatic. It was so helpful and answered so many questions that I saved it to the KitchenAid folder I have set up on my hard drive.

I hope it's equally helpful to you.
 
I couldn't tell you anything more than its a selectra. I wouldn't know the specifics but I love electronic things.

That being said I would love that briva in Kansas City! I didn't see that earlier.
 
What makes the difference between the KD-17 and KD-17A? For the Superba models, does it have to do with the extra button to the left of the center lock? My aunt and uncle had the KDS-17 that had the extra button.

The chart is great. My grandmother got the KDS-18 as a Christmas present in 1976 from my aunt and uncle mentioned above. Judging from the chart if I am reading it correctly, that was a brand new model.

Have a good one,
James
 
KD17 vs. KD17A

The 17A has the energy saver dry (no heat) option.  On the Superba, it's a little button on the left side of the handle and it's kind of below some of the action indicator lights.  For the Imperial and Custom models, an additional button was added on the right to depress for no-heat drying. 
 
Thanks for the clarification Bob, and also for the additional info on the Imperial and Custom models as well. My sister and a friend both had the Imperial models that had the extra button.
