small problem in pump
found the wash arm support (top half of pump) to have a problem. the top spindel had slid down the shaft and would block any water from getting into the hydrosweep. this was due that the pin came out of it, holding it in it's proper place on the shaft.
i will fix it later, put a new wash arm support i found on e bay on it for now.

it should be like this
that's better, only it won't stay that way for long. so a new top went on, mr. kdss-17a was brought into the house, hooked up under my sink counter and has been purring away ever since. so far everything is working great and it's extremely quiet!!!!
will post more pics of it in the kitchen at a later time. i am in process of installing a total of 6 dishwashers in my kitchen, all operational, all kitchenaids. there will be the kdss-17a, a kd-12, kd-15, kd-16, kds-17a, and a kd-5 top loader portable. what can i say, i love em!!!!!!!

Great Machine
I never saw a 17 in Stainless like that. Congratulations.
I have seen more people get rid of KitchenAids because of the collapsed Wash Arm Support. Eddie

This is like a dream machine!
The equivalent would be a reverse rack Maytag with a stainless steel tub.
Great catch. If they could still make these today!
Who cares about Energy Star rating!! ;-)

Aferim!
OMG! What a beautiful machine! and so rare! We used to have a Hobart undercounter at work that had the same tub and door as the Superba along with the punch-outs for the detergent dispenser and the rinse dispensers; I kept thinking about stealing the thing and Frankensteining it with our KitchenAid parts to make one of these. Nothing prettier than that blue vinyl on stainless.

this is the 2nd time i have had to replace a wash arm support. first was on a kds-19 i bought off e bay several years back. wash arm supports are being sold on e bay for 15 bucks each right now, i just bought a couple more.
energy star? that's a kiss of death to a dishwasher in my opinion! let the water flow freely!!!!
i will be posting more pics of this beautiful machine including the front control panel. when i got it yesterday it came with a white door panel but the kdi-16 i got off e bay several weeks ago (also for 15 bucks) came with a stainless panel. so i switched them, at least for now. i figure a stainless tub deserves a stainless door panel to match!
