Sooo.... I'm getting ready to get a free DW in the coming months from an ongoing renovation, it's a wood paneled KitchenAid Custom Series 21. Machine model is KDC-21. I know nothing about them, it seems very well built, upper spray arm in the bottom of the rack, racks are in good shape. Has a dial and 2 buttons on the front. I'm told that it doesn't work and they are afraid to try it, so they're replacing it with the cabinetry in July. Just looking for opinions and info.
Thanks -Tim |

My unit has 2 buttons and a light on the right half of the control panel, a heated dry switch and a start switch... I thought it would be a neat entry into the world of KA dishwashers, I've wanted one for a little while to see how well they work. The buttons on mine are also chrome instead of black. Any idea how old it might be?

I didn't realize it was as new as it was, yours is exactly like mine though. The woman that has it hasn't tried it, for some reason they are under the impression that it does not work. They just had new laminate flooring put down in their kitchen, and purchased new appliances via the Energy Star program, so in the next few months it and some cabinetry will be coming out. The unit currently has the woodgrain panels on it, but they're not the cabinet panels like some have. They're flat like yours, just with a nice wood pattern. Are these the kind with all of the panels on it or does one need to source the panels? It's odd that there are 2 of these models with the "21" in them. Is this the last Hobart made model?
