KitchenAid KD-12 Dishwasher

Update 5/19/2006

I got an e-mail from the guy and offered $50.00 to start. I hope I did not insult him but I explained that to repair the motor is expensive. Thanks Robert for the e-mail and posting about the motor. I think if I get it the motor migh not be bad as he thinks but If I get it I'll take more detailed pics and hope to get some feedback from ya'll. Maybe my Dad will help LOL.

I got it!!

Ok the guy let me have it for $50.00 and now I have to get my Dad to help me because I'll have to store it at his place. So part 2 is to talk to my Dad LOL. But June 2nd I'll pick the machine up. I"ll take some more pics of it too and post. I'm kina hoping my Dad will help me fix it - he needs a hobby now. I don't think I'll convince him to come to our side but he likes to tinker with stuff

My Dad

Well I called my Dad and he laughed at me but was willing to pick up the dishwasher. It will be an adventure. The only thing that I did not tell him was that he had to store it for me for a while until I get a home LOL.. Just a minor detail I forgot to mention ;-)

It's a beautiful dishwasher and I think once you get it running you'll be entranced by all its various and sundry mechanical music.

I know I am with my KD-2P.

Update on the Dishwasher

Today my Dad and I went to Newberry to pick up the machine. I have to say I'm very impressed with it. You can eat off that beautiful blue speckled enamile (sp) inside! I discovered the cause of the problem. Seems that where the water enters in the dishwasher on the side, the gasket leaked and water ran down to the motor. Underneath the machine looks brand new. Even has the tags that come with the intallation. I don't have any more pics but promise that when it get's installed in my eventual new home I will post. I did try to take some pics of the motor that will have to be fixed. I hope I can find a person to rewind it as the black spots are where the copper is burnt to a crisp. Speaking of tags, I think the year of this machine is 1955 but not absolutly sure. Better minds will tell me. BTW I can tell that plumbing this thing is going to be a b*tch. I'll need ya'll help.
