Machine/Parts to a good home; KUDS25

[johnb300m]

Hi all.
The KUDS25 I rescued and restored a feee years ago, has fallen out of service again.
The door switch has fried, taking some of the wire harness with it.
Two of the control panel bosses broke as I was unscrewing them, so that no longer fastens properly.
The control board is mostly good, but sometimes it will open the detergent dispenser door right after the first fill.
The pump seal makes a little bit of noise but is in good shape and does not leak.
The top rinse spinner has been modified with new tubing and a new wash arm designed and 3d printed by me.
Washed great up till it died.

I am offering the whole machine for pickup, or individual parts for only shipping cost.
I’d rather it go to someone who could further recover it, or use the parts to keep their own PowerCleans going.

More photos on request.

I'd get another Power Clean Filter Module and use this one for parts. Don't let the Holy Grail slip away.

No worries. This is back in its place.

What is the model number of that machine? Do you have the pics of the inside?

My aunt has that exact dishwasher in her garage. According to the date code, it is from 1994. Its model number is KUDD230B0. Inside, it looks pretty much identical to my KDS-21, except that the upper wash arm is plastic instead of stainless, and the detergent dispenser is white instead of turquoise.
Hope this helps,
Thatwasherguy.

How I wish they still made this exact machine but without the ability to over-ride the water heating and with two water valves. And with a 2000s version Power Clean Filer Module. and with at least two full rinses.

Other than that it is a beautiful and well built machine. Whirlpool cleaned up a lot of the unnecessary complexity that Hobart had and made it a more reliable machine overall. Anything Whirlpool Power Clean and Whirlpool Kitchen-Aid makes me emotional.
