The wash arm supports....notice the one on the right is new and the one on the left was the original support. Note that the spindle is very worn out.

And the filter. This is all stainless steel since she has a heater in the sump area. Pardon the food particles on the filter base....

Gorgeous machines.
I think the KDS-17a is the best dishwasher KitchenAid ever made. We had a Custom model from the same year and it was one of the best we ever had. I remember it as being fairly quiet. The noisiest machine we ever had was a 1973 GE Potscrubber with the lousy pump/recirculator and the green plastisol on metal tub. That machine was a severe disappointment and convinced my parents to leave the all-GE club once and for all. Yoiks! I have two 17 Superbas(one 17, one 17a) in the basement that I'm planning on cannibalizing into one machine one day. I'm going to need to ask you for help when I do. | ||
