Sunday Ride to Narragansett, R.I.

[danmantn]

Now I wish I had kept the racks of my old Whirlpool...built a case around them and used it as a post office. Of well, I did keep the silverware bin...not sure what I can use that for. lol

Good catch, Eddie

That's a really nice machine. I'm very happy to see you got it.

Thanks Guys !!!

I'm going to move into the "Showroom"/ Work area tomorrow and clean him up and see what's going on with the "Surface Rust".

Here's what you can do with a Spare Silver Rack.

Fantastic!
I am so happy you got it! It is in amazing like new shape.
I tell you what I think the gunk in the bottom of the sump. I think it is Jet Dry.
When I store a dishwasher that has Jet Dry in the dispenser, it comes out looking like this in just a few months. It is a grease like feeling, and always this color.
Congrats on your amazing find. This is a great dishwasher and you will love it!

Thanks Brent.

I'm out in the First Stage area where I clean up machines, The Rust Crap which turned out to be nothing so far... I think Maybe you're right. If I have time I'll post more tonight, but right now, He's looking like Brand New and I'm thinking I might want to keep it. I really dislike Single wash arm KA's, But I think I'm going to hook this one up. Once you go KDS-18, you never come back !!!

 

[a440]

Yay! It totally looks like Jet Dry even from your picture.

The single wash arm KA's are awesome! The pumps in these I find are much stronger than the 18's and above models. That Hydro is really pumping big time! It is a matter of loading. Not a big deal when you get the swing of it.

I always loved the KDS-18's. Have one as a daily driver. If you ever you ever seen one in action open you will see that the upper spray arm is no stronger than the top "constant rinse". I find the real cleaning in a 18 is from the Hydro Sweep. The upper spray arm and very top is only a "constant rinse" to get out the left overs from the Hydro.

You have a great find there! You will love the sounds of the pump! It means business!

Thanks for the pictures.

Silverware Toolbasket

Man, can't wait to use my WP silverware basket as a tool basket. Too bad mine is grey instead of turq. Oh well, can't have it all in life. Neat idea. lol
