Time to make room.
I have a Mint KdS 20 for Sale. I got him from a good home. (Looks like they had a Housekeeper look after him). Door Jambs and hinges are clean. Replaced the Feed tube to the Upper Rack. Clean. Clean, Clean. All cycles and Rapid Advance are Perfect.

I don't know much about the older KAs. What is Rapid Advance?

Thanks,
Gary

Rapid Advance

On certain Cycles such as Rinse/Hold, when the machine is finished rinsing, the timer advances back to the off position within a minute so you can restart it. Or if you choose a cycle and then decide to change it, hit Cancel and the machine Drains and goes back to off.

Rapid Advance

appnut's profile picture
If it's like a KDS16, the timer will advance slightly to skip one or two of the prewash/prerinses, the timer advances a few increments during the main wash phase for a shorter main wash phase, and it advances through a few increments at the beginning of the dry cycle for a bit shorter dry cycle. On Plate Warm, it advances all the way aorund until it gets to about 12 or 20 minutes at the end of the dry cycle.

What is Rapid Advance?

The rapid advance timer has two motors. One is for advancing the timer cam quickly to a set point to begin a cycle. Once it reaches that point, it cuts out and the second, slower speed timer motor takes over and advances the cam at the normal speed to go thru the cycle. The majority of vintage dishwashers, washers and such use this two motor system. For example, for rinse and hold, my KDS-19 will start at the beginning of the cam and fill during one of the prewash increments. It'll wash and then advance thru the majority of the cam until it nears the end. There it'll wash some more then drain. It quick advances thru the drying portion (pausing there for a few moments) then rapid advance to off.
Clear as mud, right?

Thanks for the explanations. Makes a little more sense now.

Hello,

Have you sold this dishwasher yet? I've not been able to find replacement parts for my Maytag WU104 and have always wanted a kitchenAid dishwasher. I have a 1970's unit in the garage I want to make run sometime but it was never as well cared for as yours seems to have been. So mine might be a good parts unit.

I'm tired of hand washing and yours looks very nice.

Let me know...
