No Toggs, don't touch that line; don't, don't, don't. Sorry, but I'm nto getting the full picture (adjsuts vertical and horizontal holds......) So is that unique wash-arm a vintage one that never made it to the mainstream? Is it a commeicial one that WAS mainstream, or is it a new design now coming out? |

It would be nice to know what parts you need for this and how to order them - I'd love trying new things in a "super-kitchenaid" sort of fashion! I once had a plastic-tub Hotpoint d/w that I modified the wash-arm and spray tower in... Interesting spray patterns and sounds from that machine. It all would have probably worked better if my metal-screening filter would have stayed in place. |

and performance aside...it just doens't look "Kitchen Aid" to me without the 4 way arm. All other dishwashers have these boring looking arms and Kitchen Aid always seemed a step above to me because of the look of that 4 way arm. I get it that this might clean better or as well but it just doesn't look like it would to me. I have been using my KDS-17A almost exclusively lately and I really love the sounds and I love to open the door while it's running and see all that water settle down. I can only imagine what's going on in there when the door is closed. |

Steve, It makes sense about the holes lining up, and with more water spray bouncing off more dish surfaces, better cleaning makes more sense as well. A close up of the arm would be appreciated. Bobby in Boston |

I checked the Hobart commercial machine in John's shop and that wash arm you are showing is the one in the totally redesigned newer commercial machine. In the commercial machine, the free spinning rinse arm rides above it. |
