from the site here. this is a great place to share ideas and solve problems with our appliances!
i love kitchenaids and have a lot of them but most of mine are much older than your model. i agree the machine you have will most probably do a much better job in less time and last longer than the new one's today! i have never done any rack repair but i have heard some of the guys here talk about it on occasion. perhaps someone who has some experience in this area will speak up here. i do see racks for kitchenaids all the time on e bay, for old models and newer ones. i have one kud machine similiar to yours with the same type filter screen but i have no extra parts at all. like said most of mine are from the 60's and 70's. some from the 50's. maybe someone will offer some advice here. if "stevet" sees your thread perhaps he will give you some good advice. you could always look him up in the members catagory and see if he can be e mailed directly. most members put a personal e mail address in. he is the site's resident hobart expert as he works for hobart. i have e mailed him directly in the past myself. since you have a newer model that pump screen might be available somewhere. i get a lot of stuff off the web on "parts select" and other appliance parts websites. sorry i'm not more help. someone will offer some good advice here! |

Wow - that screen looks like it is NLA from that site. You may need to check around on some other online appliance dealers or look on Ebay to get one. I'd check locally too. Andrew S. |

You'll need the lower wash arm support which is NLA. However you might be able to find someone who still has one in stock. You can also check around the used appliance places and see if they have what you need. You might get lucky and find a machine that has been dropped off the back of a truck but has all the parts you need.

The WP power clean system is superior to the KD 21&22 system in getting rid of food waste. I do service calls all the time to clean clogged filters on KD 21&22 machines thats why they changed to the better system with the 23 series. Granted the 21&22 pumps were sturdy and difficult to ruin but I do see metal objects caught in the drain impeller which jams the motor but usually doesn't require replacing any parts. I wish they had a KA 21-23 that had more than one final rinse I am not a nut about over rinsing things in general but my dishwasher loads are just to dirty for one rinse after the main detergent wash.

Mike, I bought a brand new KUDI21 when I remodeled my kitchen and it ran trouble-free until we sold our house a couple of years ago. KitchenAid dishwashers of this vintage are among the easiest to load of any make out there. If you are willing to go to the trouble of finding the parts for it, you won't regret it. The KUDI21 will process a load of dishes in about 1/3 the time it takes with a limp-wristed modern machine.

I meant to respond to this post a lot sooner so I apologize. I have a Hobart KDS-19 dishwasher that I will be parting out. It is in excellent condition but since I got the portable KDS-60 I no longer need it nor have the space. My plan is to strip it completely of all components and recycle the metal tub and frame.
Having said that I may have some parts that could benefit you. I have no idea if all of them are compatable with your machine but I'm sure some on here would know and be able to help. Go ahead and shoot me an email with some photos or part numbers of some of the items you need. I'll see what I have here. I know the pump screen and stuff like that I do have. Jon |

Hey, Thanks for all the input! I haven't visited this site for a few days, so I have some catching up to do. I'll post later after I get home and look at the DW. |
