KitchenAid KDS-17 Superba

[sekess]

Hi,
I have an old KDS-17 dishwasher that I love. But, it's finally started showing its age. The buttons do not work. To run it, I have to manually start it rotating the reset screw behind the access panel.

Does anyone have a copy of the service manual that I can get?
Thanks,
Steve

The timer may not be resetting itself when the door handle is opened after the cycle has finished. You should hear the timer reset itself when this is done.

I'm not familiar with the 17 models but the 18-20 series are notorious for the plastic arm that's responsible for resetting the timer when the door is cycled needing to be bent slightly inward after a gazillion loads.

Thanks Dan,
Sounds like the issue.
Didn't want to just start tearing into her without the service manual - if I can help it. But if not one has one, I'll have to do just that.

Also,
Detergent dispenser hasn't been working for some time. Would be great to get a replacement. If you guys know if aftermarket availability in these - I'd appreciate it. But, I'm pretty sure that part will be almost impossible to source.
