Presenting the In-Sink-Erator Classic Supreme Dishwasher

[rp2813]

Oh yeah Bob, if I had found one of those, it would have been all over. They just don't turn up. I was looking for one before the Thermador showed up a year ago, and it wasn't until I found the Supreme on Craig's List last month that I had seen anything that even came close.

I will definitely snag a KDS22 if it looks like the one in the link you posted!

That's the manual for my KUDS220T4.

That's my DW too!

Come on Down!

And bring a vehicle big enough!
Ralph, I have the 22 Superba like the picture above in great shape for you or even a 21 Monterey..your choice. come and get it(them)!

Thanks for the pics!

IMHO there was never a better color for all that dishwasher vinyl than blue in all its variations. Who do I have to diddle to get all these lunkhead manufacturers to go back to it? Or are we so cheap that we don't want to spend the money on pigment?

 

[rp2813]

OK, so the shape of the panel buttons didn't change until the 23 series? I thought that happened with the 22's but judging from the photo above and the owner's manual illustrations, I was mistaken.

Steve, I'd take that Superba if I lived closer. For now the Supreme is almost the same machine, is an unusual one, and I'm enjoying her. This is my first rapid advance timer, so the Supreme seems very luxurious. If a KDS22 should surface locally I probably will want to secure it, but unlike with the Thermador there won't be a big rush to replace the Supreme.

Racks

Ralph,

Your Lower Rack is the one that the KitchenAid 18 series has.

I always remembered the 18 rack has more tines on the right side than the 20 series. I wonder why they did that ?

Nice

Ralph,
Your ISE looks awesome with the panels! Looks so modern!
I was sitting here looking at your dishwasher and it dawned on me that I have a KDP-23. I went and took a look at it and can't tell if it was made at the same time as your ISE. I am sure Steve will know. Interesting thing is that the pump in my 23 is the large WP version. This makes me think it might be a later version of the KDP.
Oh. Have you noticed how many rinses it has by chance?
Here are a few pictures. Excuse the dust!

KUDI 21

Interesting that a KUDI 21 and KUDS 22 that appears to be from the same time period have the smaller Hobart filter system.

 

[rp2813]

Well gee, I'm really confused now. I thought the 23 series had the white control panels with components that tend to yellow with age, and had more square shaped buttons. Maybe only the Superbas got that treatment.

Brent, your KUDP23 retains the look of the 22 series on the exterior. The only way I can tell it's later is by the Whirlpool-influenced sump area. I guess I thought that when Whirlpool implemented those changes on the 23, they changed the control panel too.

My ISE has only one rinse after the main wash (the one when the detergent dispenser opens.) So far it hasn't been a problem, but I may take Steve's advice and remove the restrictor washer from the inlet valve and allow more water to enter the tub. That way it will fill more for the purge and thus provide a sort of mini-rinse before the final rinse.

Eddie, thanks for the info on the lower rack. I kind of like the extra tines since they allow for larger loads where dishes are concerned, plus the racks from the KDS20 are more substantial than those that came with either of the later ISE machines.

Beautiful machine Ralph......love the chrome and stainless....

I just found one on CL with a timer dial I think for 50.00.....don't need it but would be unique to have just in case

KUDS 22

Here is the KUDS 22 that I have.
As you can tell I started to take panels and soap cup off for other machines that I have used. I think the pump is bad on this unit. I have not investigated the pump. It was loud. Overall it is in very good shape.
Interesting on mine the "Quick Glass" cycle is missing.
Sorry for the bad picture.

I'm curious about when the "Please Wait" lights up, since there's already a light marked "Heating Water."

So what else is there to wait for with that machine besides water heating?

It appears the "Cycle Complete" indicator is a more wordy version of the "Clean" light on my ISE.

"Rinsed Only" be damned! Who in their right mind would want that one when Whirlpool has provided "Please Wait" as an alternative?

 

[jamiel]

Betcha it's for cancel-drain (indicating it's still rapid-advancing)

 

[gadgetgary]

Please wait

From the owners manual:

The please wait light comes on while the dishwasher is draining after you have pressed the CANCEL/DRAIN button.

What was the point of that???

And here is a link to the manual
