Hi everyone, I just got a KUDI21DS3 and I would like to go through it before commissioning it for daily use for a family of 4 (#5 on the way). It was being used regularly up until a few days ago when I picked it up from a local couple.
If anyone on here is a technician in Litchfield County CT and is interested in restoring this unit for me, that would be great. Otherwise, I will attempt it myself.
Could you all be so kind as to provide a list of the components that should be replaced, or at least "stocked" by me? From my time on this site I see that the main gasket at the bottom of the tub should be done, and my lower wash arm is stuck to the support, so I will likely have to break it apart. There is a new in box wash arm on fleabay, but no support, so I'm interested in one of those so far. I would like to buy NOS parts because my intent is to use the heck out of this machine for as long as possible, or until the government realizes that water is the earth's most abundant resource and allows manufacturers to produce dishwashers that wash dishes (I won't hold my breath). Kidding aside, we are doing a retro kitchen and really love the look and reputation of these machines. Is the service manual (sold on this site) worth having, or is it all common sense?
Thanks in advance to everyone.
