Searching for KDS-16 detergent dispenser

[larry08]

The KitchenAid dishwasher KDS-16 was installed in 1970 and has performed flawlessly. The detergent dispenser plastic cover broke into two pieces. I tried JB MarineWeld epoxy, but it could not withstand one cycle. Does anyone know where I could find a NOS or used detergent dispenser?

Detergent dispenser

This dispenser was unique. The 15 series and the 16 series used the same dispenser in their dishwasher as the one that broke in yours. I remember this thing quite well, if you pushed the rubber button down to check the detergent it would open up. I hope someone on here can help you out.

KitchenAid's were built like tanks back then.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">They do show up on eBay from time to time.  I would keep an eye out there.  Someone here should be able to provide the part number you should search for.</span>
