The wash arm. Sounds just like a Kitchenaid by Hobart. I still love the description "Hurricane In A Box". This one sounds like it could remove the flower pattern right off the dish! The underside is as clean as a whistle - no leaks or leak marks. The blower motor for the heating assy is stiff, so I will lube that. Nice Machine...

I always enjoy seeing your "pile finds". I find it just amazing that people would throw out such nice quality stuff just for minor repairs. | ||

another great 17 model kitchenaid
i picked up one of those from a guy here in cinti last year for 50 bucks. he bought a new dishwasher and could not believe that it took over an hour and a half to do a load when his kdc-17 would do it in a half hour. he said if it weren't for his wife he would have kept the kdc. he was a restaurant manager and was big on hobart!
it might not have the bells and whistles like the superbas but it still is a great dishwasher! i put a new motor on mine even tho the old one worked fine. this was before i found any superba 17's and i thought the custom model might be all i would ever get. little did i know then that superbas were to start popping up all over the place! anyway, it looks great, better shape than the one i have, looks like it had an easy life which is good for you! enjoy it! | ||

What I'd do first is pour a pot of hot water in the tub and check for leaks before running her. This will also help the seals after sitting for a while. If there are no leaks, run the drain to make sure it will drain and the drain lines to the sink are in good order. After all that, THEN you run a rinse cycle. If all that flies, Turn it loose!
