Again you never cease to amaze us with your customizations. Excellent job. Maybe will get out there to see it in person someday.

Toggles you are suppose to keep the carbon face motor shaft seal wet anytime the motor is running. Since the hot water fill valve is switched on immediately once the dishwasher is started this wets the seal and keeps it wet anytime that the motor shaft is turning. The cork seals stay damp even with the sump dry for weeks so that is a non issue.

I just have to chime in here!
Incredible transformation.. I think I will send the video link to the service training dept at Hobart because they dont teach the old UM's anymore and when I took the classes back in the 80's we had the UM and WM's with the plexiglas doors so we could observe the wash action of the machines. Even had them on the AM series too like the one of the show machine on Youtube.
For those who dont know, the UM was the precursor to the KD10 thru 14's and the WM-1,2 and 3 were based on the 15/16 sereies.
The WM 5 was based on the 18 series but used the tanks made in Europe not here. Pumps were 18 series on both sides of the pond and in Australia as well.
The door with the window does have that 50-ish factory look to it.An excellent remodel job.
I cant wait to see some of your future creations!

OUTSTANDING!!
the first thing my hubby told me tonight, is" Guess what Robert did now?" Ran to the office and he showed me the video. OMG! Robert, you never cease to amaze me and your creativity!! I agree with everyone else too, THIS is how a dishwasher SHOULD be!!!
will you give a Step- by- Step instruction on how to do this?? you know the gang here would love that!!!( like you did with your Lady K)
Chris wants to do the same thing to a Belt Driven Maytag Dishwasher as soon as we can find one. He also found a counter top"Danby" with window. Plans are already to " pimp it out as we speak (thinking of adding a top spray arm!) He will keep you posted.
keep up the awesome work Robert!

Thanks Rich and Chris for your kind words. It really wasn't that difficult to do, that hardest part was making the frame look half way decent. I used my jigsaw to cut out two square holes, one in the outer door and one in the inner door. Then I had a piece of glass cut, made a cork seal and used stainless steel washers/bolts and screws to hold it tight against the outside of the inner door. I found that with the cork there was a slight leak, so I took out the cork and used sensor safe non-toxic silicone to seal the glass to the inner door better. Now it will be leak free forever, this silicone has never failed me yet, I use it for all permanent sealing jobs (pictured below), I highly recommend this type and once it cures its good to 600 degrees F.

You did a beautiful job restoring this dishwasher. And with a picture window with an interior light, whoop-de-do!! How are you able to run the machine with the interior lights on? You can be sure this machine will increase in value. Hope you will send a picture to Hobart/KitchenAid. Maybe they will get an idea and install windows on their new machines.

John the lights shines in from the outside through a second window in the side of the tank (see picture below).

Paint
Robert, how did you paint the dishwasher--brush, roller, spray? I want to sand all the scratches off of my Sears freezer and repaint it, but I don't think I'm going to paint it white. I was thinking of turquoise or maybe pink like your dishwasher.
