Saved it..
And wouldn't you know... Got it home, hooked it up, and it works PERFECTLY!!! . . . . . . . NOT! LOL, the thing really needs a LOT of work. The spray arm (painted black) was so corroded to the base that it wouldn't turn. The timer dial won't turn, but that might be a safety interlock with the power disconnected (no, I'm not ready to plug it in, just yet. Not sure if all the drain filters are there. Both racks are there, sans the cutlery tray. It is heavy but I managed to get it into the van ok. First time the turquoise '67 Chevy Van has transported a major vintage appliance, too! Right not I set it aside. I may play with it later on this winter or spring. I think it's all fixable, but then the challenge will be finding a countertop under which to place it. I might need to build another kitchen, in the workshop, just for all the various and sundry dishwashers ;-). From first glance I can see why the first dishwashers were upright portables. This one had to make some interesting adjustments from the portable configuration to get the innards to fit under a counter top. Mainly in the positioning of the motor vs. the pump/drain assembly. I was a little surprised that the exterior appears to be just painted, not porcelain enamel, but I guess the Korean War took its toll everywhere. | ||

Already tried pushing (and pulling up on) the start button with no effect. I dimly recall a plastic pump housing under the KD-2P, I *think*. There will be rust in the sump after it stands a bit, but has never seized up like the this KD-10 has. I think the rust in the KD-2P is from the innards of the wash arm, mostly. I'm not sure that this KD-10 saw a lot of use when it was working. That's because the porcelain inside the door is smooth and shiny. Not dulled as it would be after years of use. Just guessing, though. A more thorough inspection and cleaning is in order at some point to determine actual condition of the various parts. Someone did do some hacking to get this to fit under a tight countertop way back when. The mounting points welded to the top of the unit have been sawed off, and the sheet metal at the front corners has been cut and/or bent to make it flush with the top of the tub. The house it came out of was a very ticky-tacky one story hovel in Palo Alto - where such homes during the boom years were often bought up at a premium, torn down, and replaced with multi-story McMansions. Given the low quality of the home construction, it would seem to be likely that the old kitchen cabinets were of equal low quality and perhaps undersized as well. | ||
