thank you ever so (as marilyn would say)
thanks guys, yea i am very lucky on this one! kds-17's are my favorite model, i used to look at them in the plumbing supply store when i was a teen and dream of having one instead of the cheap hotpoint i was always workin on! it looked so classy, you'd have thought i was lookin at a cadillac! it was the cadillac of dishwashers in it's day! never thought in a million years i would own a stainless tank one. when the guy called me from boston after seein my ad on craigs list i would have driven there myself in a heartbeat to pick it up. i gave 200 bucks for it and it is def worth every penny to me. a tub that can't wear out! who'd have thought!
steve, thanks as always, i will check into that wire and watch for any leaks, it is installed and runs like a dream. i will check into insulation. where would i get that insulation you mentioned? the dyna mat or bituminous product. it is already very quiet compared to my other kd-17 models. also, your mom must have had an interesting collection of dishwashers what with you being the hobart repairman! she prob got a kick out of the whole thing!
thank you again, everyone! i will post pics of it installed soon, my kitchen is torn up now as i am installing my "dishwasher row" on the opposite wall where i have my kd-12, kd-15, kd-16, kd-17 and soon to arrive kd-5 portable. got the hot water lines in and drain lines done yesterday.
