Guys,
Two nights ago I saw an ad on craigslist, a Kenmore dishwasher for free.
The only dishwasher I have is a 4-place Haier countertop that Revvinkevin found on a state sale and kindly brought to me in his truck. It works great, not leaks and it cleans well. But the absurdly small capacity and the lack of a rinse aid dispenser is driving me nuts, so a bigger dishwasher is more than welcome and FREE it's even better.
Anyway, yesterday I picked it up (yes, it fits on the back seat of a Corolla if one uses the brain, some elbow grease and lots of crisco or KY jelly), Than Darryl and I almost killed ourselves to bring it to the kitchen (2nd floor).
Wonderful news. It works and it's super strong. YAY!
Horrible news, it leaks.
Dishwashers are not "my" world, but I could guess it's something theoretically simple.
Does anybody have any information about this specific model? a Service manual would be even better. I'm planning to take it apart tomorrow morning and see if something can be done to save it.
But Darryl and I have an agreement. Both dishwashers are temporary and we won't spend any money ans we plan to stay in this apartment only for about 8 months.
After I move, then I'll consider getting something new if the place I move doesn't have a dishwasher. I simply won't spend money on a new dishwasher now and then after a few months take the chance to scrach or dent it during the moving.
Of course, if the cost to repair is insignificant, I'd love to fix it.
The model number is 587.1744590 I believe it's probably from early 90's.
I'll post pictures in two minutes as the pictures are in my cell phone and I'm lazy to transfer the files to the computer.
