here's another
pic of it sandwiched in between a g.e. and a frigidaire washer matt had in the window. the bottom panel is there, just not on it. and he gave me racks for it as it was missing racks.
he has lots of racks, and i do mean LOTS of racks if you guys need a rack for a kitchenaid! i also got an extra silverware basket and 2 extra stainless superba screens from him. it's a kitchenaid lover's dream, wandering around his shop!

here it is
a coppertone D&M kelvinator brand dishwasher. i used to see the same design in the "modern maid" brand. it also had the same pump, motor and spray arms as the sears kenmores, including the roto rack machines.
i just got a sears roto rack a few weeks ago and ordered a new seal for 12 bucks off the web and motor gasket for 7 bucks so parts are there for this one should i need them and they are cheap!
love the round buttons on this one,

that's the
bottom panel inside.
tub and racks are in great shape. don't know if it leaks but if it does a new seal will stop that problem. the motors on these spin at 3450 rpm i was surprised to find out when i tore my roto rack apart recently. i thought they would be 1725! they can pump the water!
matt said kelvinator was made in grand rapids.
i always loved that decorative pump cover with the holes in it that sits on top of the pump below the spray arm. all the modern maids had those when i was a kid!

dishwasher no 6 was in a church!
i had talked to matt previously about getting it, he told me the church would give it to me if i gave them another one. it was one of the main reasons i made the trip!
this is what i gave them, my whirlpool quiet partner II machine that i had used as my main machine before starting my collection several years ago.
here it is after we installed it in the church

this dishwasher
is my first impeller machine!!!
i'm gonna stop here a minute and go take some shots of the interior since i forgot to do that at the church. it is sitting in my living room at the moment along with the jet action washer and about 10 other dishwashers! be right back!
intermission time

can't get enough of that
blue roto rack. matt said it spins really fast when impeller starts throwin the water around.
it is not powered by any seperate spray tube like the later models roto racks by d&m, the impeller does it all! i found that interesting to say the least!

Large detergent cup is prolly for those super hygenic washes. Wouldn't surprise me the silverware baskets are original. Many D&M machines with various colored racks had the white color cutlery baskets.
Water powered roto rack just like the American Kitchen's dishwasher that's sometimes the POD from the early 1950s.
If you ever actually wash a load of dishes in this machine, I wouldn't risk putting any flateware in this thing at all. Too risky to damage the impeller.
you can see
it does have a chip out of it but i watched this machine operate before we took it out and it really throws the water!!!
does anyone know where i would get a new impeller/ DOES ANYONE STILL MAKE THEM? ANYONE HAVE AN OLD ONE THEY WISH TO SELL? CAN YOU FIX THEM WITH ANY TYPE OF CEMENT????
THESE ARE MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU IMPELLER GUYS, THIS IS MY FIRST ONE AND I AM CLUELESS!!!

I'm so glad you got this Modern Maid dishwassher. I've been fascinated eveer since it first appeared in an old thread. You kinda have the Modern Maid version of the Kenmore dishwasher Donna Stone had!!!
last but not least
dishwasher no. 7 i brought home was a kds-17a in harvest gold! i just love this model, it is my favorite kitchenaid and i now have 4 kds-17a's! and a fifth is waiting for me if i want to buy it from a lady in michigan who emailed me recently! i can't stop, they are my weakness!
