Paul and Darrel--
*ding!* Peter: *SWAT!* :-) Greg: Partial credit on the homewrecker theory ;-) Robert: *Ding!* :-) It lives, but because God has an infinite sense of humor, my carefully reassembled pump/drain assembly is leaking where the drain valve interfaces with the pump housing. What's funnier still is that the machine is totally leak-free so long as you run it--it's when it cools down and parts contract that it then pees all over the kitchen floor, so your toes are greeted with a puddle of cold water on the tile in the morning! Oh well, to the hardware store to get some cork, I guess...drat! Either that, or just keep running it all the time! (I've heard of things healing themselves whey they're just run more frequently, but this is ridiculous!) Hey Bob, look--a turquoise top and bottom dishwasher all in one kitchen! Load the top rack of the spin-tube, load the bottom rack of the KDS-15, and you'll always be happy with the results!

Eat every turnip and pea on the plate
Ben: Well, I tried using puppy pads around the house, then removing them until there was only one left on the kitchen floor, but it can't seem to quite understand. I've tried taking it out to the yard, but it balks at going across the deck and is hard to push through the grass. I've tried to teach it to scratch at the door with its unicouple, but it seems to be quite content to just sit there and wazz contemptuously. Bob: LOL Good grief, I hadn't thought of that. Now I just have to get a Westinghouse pull-out, and I'll be home free! ;-) Modern appliances are liberating. Of course, I've found the serviceman to be a little apathetic and sometimes unhelpful ;-) | ||

Minor issue
This machine is ultimately spending its time over at a friend's house. He is, of course, aware of its proper care and feeding and museum-piece status. I'm glad, too, because I found out this morning (might as well run it again; it never leaks when I run it) that none of our plates fit in the bottom rack. The top rack hangs too low. Holy crap, it's more than a modern housewife should have to put up with. I'm going back to the KitchenAid! Happily, Matt (who is inheriting the machine) has square plates. Never thought those would come in so handy! | ||

That gear motor
I don't know if Greg has any photos of the process, but that gear motor was absolutely packed with grease and just gooed-up solid when we found it. The dishwasher couldn't drain when we tested it (and of course it was just whizzing a stream of water out the side of the pump housing--whee! Fearless testers, we are). It took us an half an hour of scrubbing with degreaser and a toothbrush to liberate the mechanism so that it can spin/bounce freely. It is cute--the machine stops, and you here a tiny "zzzeeeee!" sound as it gently pulls the spring to open the drain valve. It makes the machine much quieter than the snapping of a solenoid, but as to why they did it--and mid-year, no less--dunno! :- | ||

Top rack hangers
Toggles!! ;-) This illustrates the issue. Please forgive the plate that supports a non-winning team ;-) Now, as you can see on the right, plates in the sixties were smaller. If you recall, people were slimmer, had fascinating clothes, wore interesting hairstyles, and drove cooler cars. In order to accomplish this, they had to limit their caloric intake. Thus, the average plate size was smaller, and fit neatly in the Dishmobile. By the time of the seventies and later models, people needed lots of extra protein intake to support the hairy chests and 'fros they were sporting. So, plate sizes grew, and--as you can see on the left--the newer plates were no longer supported by the existing Dishmobiles, prompting Frigidaire to come out with an entirely new dishwasher design, whereupon the entire top of the dishwasher flipped up just to accommodate the bigger plates. Okay, so that's patently untrue, but you still see the problem ;-)
