I just replaced my old dishwasher with a new one. I am pretty sentimental about this, but it needed repairs and my husband didn't want to put money into it. So, I was just wondering if there was anyone who likes working on the older machines who would have any interest in it. I'm not trying to sell it, but will give it to someone if they are willing to pick it up. I live in southern Maine.

Hi and Welcome,
What seems to be the problem ?
Those Older Machines are great cleaners.

I loved the dishwasher despite the prongs breaking off on the lower rack. However, lately the dishwasher would fill with water and empty okay, but it didn't clean the dishes. My husband thought there was something wrong with the timer. We bought our new dishwasher at Lowes and they are delivering tomorrow. They are planning to take the old one with them, which I know means it is destined for a landfill...that really bothers me. I know someone who loves the old dishwashers could fix it and get many years of use out of it. It is a nice looking machine with stainless steel front.

I wish I were closer to you. Hopefully one of our esteem East coast members will be able to save it. Thank-you for offering it.

Haste makes waste!
If you had posted the problem here before running to Lowe's you would have been advised that if your machine fills and drains, then the pump is fine, the timer is fine and all that is wrong is your lower wash arm support is most likely worn out and needs to be replaced.
New racks are available.I have at least 2 of them in my attic as well as possibly a good used support. You might have gotten another 10-20 years out of it which is not unheard of! In fact, if it happens to be a KDP18, I even have a spare timer that one of the other members sent me to sell if someone needed it.
It is not too late to save it and possibly use as a spare machine in your garage or pantry or basement when you have an over abundance of dishes to be done and can't wait 3 hours for the new machine to was a load of dishes.

I'm not even a fan of Stainless, but that is beautiful.
Nice notty pine kitchen too. Brings back memories.
If no one here is able to adopt this, you might consider donating to the Habitat for Humanity Store in Portland.

How did that machine end up with a 19+ series Large Upper Wash Arm ?
18 series had the shorter Wash Arm for the Upper Rack

I called her earlier this evening. The washer is a KDP-20. I'm very tempted myself to take the 4 hour trip. I just refurbished the incinerator CL700 for our kitchen though. I wish I could give this one some love too. Do you guys think this is a better washer than the CL700?

Performance may be a toss-up, but I'd say the KA is the nicer looking and perhaps the more capable of the two. With the stainless inserts and its timeless design, it's a much more desirable machine than the ISE. I'm going to hazard a guess that virtually all mechanical parts on the your ISE and this KA are interchangeable.
One thing is for sure: The team who installs the new dishwasher should not be allowed to haul off the KA. It absolutely deserves a better fate.

Bobbi, glad your husband backed you. I know someone around here will want it. Patricians weren't as commonly purchased as Superbas.

Are Patricians more feature filled than the supurbas?
Or are they in-between the Imperial and Supurba?

KA Upper Racks
Pardon my ignorance....but once KA went to 2 level wash...I don't really understand their upper rack layout much at all.
You have these vastly wide side sections with no pins.
Then you have that massive center hump with pins in the middle (makes sense for bowls and saucers.
But the two rows of very narrowly seated pins on either side of the hump really elude me. Often some of those will pivot and fold.
Of all the rack designs out there, KAs have made the least sense.
What's a good, proper way of actually loading those upper racks?

Classic KA racks were the best of the dishwashers that I've used.
The Patrician models fall in between Superba and Imperial. I think maybe the only thing separating them from a Superba is the "Sani-Cycle," but perhaps others will provide additional differences.
The ISE and the KitchenAid dishwasher quite different the ISE is a 21 series equivalent. The KitchenAid gives two rinses the ISE only one final rinse. The ISE does a better job overall and has a more durable pump and uses less water.
