I decided to bring this dishwasher out of storage and use it for a while. A very cool front-load Kitchenaid......model KDR-67B. Love the full-width bar on the door. |

Control panel has buttons for Full cycle,Rinse&hold and soak cycle. I did have the timer rebuilt by Reeco. |

Interior is in great shape as are the racks. Notice the racks and the door with the gasket on it are consistent with a 17 series machine. |

Interior shot. There is only the bottom wash arm....no constant rinse on the top of the tank. Does anyone notice anything not consistent with a 17 series machine in this picture? |

Great looking machine. I just love the kitchen aid's. By the way, that beautiful turquoise range has caught my eye as well. Is that a frigidaire twin-30? |

I had one as my first ever dishwasher after leaving home. The avocado green model without the butcher block top and only the rinse & hold feature, no soak cycle. I bought it in the clearance dept at the Vancouver downtown Woodwards dept store around 1976. I remember it being an excellent dishwasher even without the middle or top spray arms and how hot the dishes were when it had finished, you couldn't touch them for awhile. Also it wasn't obnoxiously noisy either considering I lived in an apartment. The heavy duty ball casters and that towel bar handle across the front made it very easy to roll into place. When we bought our first house in 87 it went into the basement and later on I foolishly sold it for $60 I believe. The other thing I liked about it over the other makes at the time was it seemed to be solidly built and there was no exposed heating element being fan forced.

Roger - does that machine have a heating element of any kind? Or did it have one before you swapped out the pump? |
