Hi Pete These are (I think) amazingly quiet for what's going on in there. I might bring mine in from the "Showroom" for a few days. I just hope yours won't need a drain valve as I'm thinking they are non existant at this point. I changed mine 3-4 years ago and with the help of stevet... he found me 1 of 2 of the last NIB Valves from Hobart. Very Pricey too. If you ever need to work on the pump, the bakelite trap under the drain valve is non existant. I sprayed mine with WD-40 and wiggled it for about 2 days. You don't want to break that. Good Luck with yours. Give it a Whirl. Eddie | ||

Hi Bob.
Those Cast Iron Wash Arms (aka Big Blue) have a tremendous coverage pattern. My KD2 actually wiggles with all that water being thrown around but is amazingly quiet.
Racking is everything in a One Armed Wonder. This machine cleans Very Well considering it has only One Main Wash followed by a 30 sec. Rinse and then a 1 minute rinse. KitchenAids before the 18 series were and are truly Dishwashers. Yes, you could scoot a few pots and pans in the upper rack if you have room, but cooking for one or two, I like to throw everything in and "Git er done". | ||

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. Every time an AW member scans and posts an angel gets its wings.
I really want to find a cast-iron-armed KitchenAid one of these days. They are Classics. Aferim! This post was last edited 03/06/2011 at 22:05 | ||

Hi again Bob and Ken Bob, You can rack alot of plates in that lower rack as you see. Glassware is sketchy as today's design of glasses have changed, but my glasses fit fine. Wine glasses, Forget about it. Thanks Ken. I was amazed when I found this machine on the Cape. The couple I bought it from were Very Young. He was helping me load the machine in my truck and said "Wait a minute." He then went into the back of his car and pulled out the Original Envelope with the instructions and these...

Don't ya just love...
The Old Hobart Logo ???
They were all over Commercial Kitchen Equipment back in the 50s and 60s. It was such a Quality Symbol in the Restaurant Industry. Logo borrowed from 1952crestwood. KitchenAid was not part of Commercial Equipment as most of you know. It is just the "Hobart" you would see on the front of Commercial Equipment. Ah... Those were the Days !!! It was just like the Quality Signature that you could Trust and Know that you just spent a Crap Load of Money, but you knew it was going to last.

thanks for the tips on the kd2-p. i do have a couple kd-12's and a kd-14 but i think this kd2-p will be more fun to use when i eventually do get to it.
i do love using my kd-12 and i agree 100 percent that before the 18 series came along with that 2nd spray arm etc. they were really dishwashers! that's why i have always said that after the 17 models i gave up interest in kitchenaids. there was something about the fact that one spray arm at the bottom of the tub, whether it be the big blue or the hydrosweep, that one arm could get everything clean! i just picked up a kd-something last nite here in cinti and it looks really bad! can't even find the name plate to see what it is, think it's a 12. not sure if it will ever run again but i may be surprised. will post pics on it next week. the sump in the tub is black! the big blue arm is rusted. we shall see here. again love the brochure! i just read it again! and copied it ofcourse! what a classic! | ||

Oh, Pete...
Glad you enjoy it.
This is what we do for all of us here. There is a trick though... They tell you in the manual that the Silverware basket may be in the front or Back. By reversing the Lower Rack. It's best to keep the Silverware basket in the back as it is easier to remove the Coarse Strainer which collects alot of crap. I clean mine after every use as I am not a PreRinser. The machine is designed to have the Coarse Strainer over the Drain Solenoid Drain Valve. Which is in the back of the machine. This is easier to remove that strainer which Original Design has it designated in that position. I feel that if the Coarse Strainer is directly over the Drain Port, it will drain faster. However, you will find that the machine has a different drain quantity over time. Some times I will re-drain it at the end of the Last Rinse as they sometimes leave Extra Water in the sump. You will notice this by the quantity of water drained and the sound of the pump. We notice this as we have "Trained Ears".

Look for them only in brochures... I still have my Grandmother's 3-B mixer bought in 1949 and it still works. It still kills me to think that they had achieved near perfection in these machines and to look at the garbage that is available on the market today. I already think Michael Moore is right about everything he exposes but this just puts the cap on the toothpaste. Go out and buy something with the KitchenAid label on it today and see what you get. Greed, greed, greed, greed, greed. | ||

Eddie, I had heard rumors about this 7 minute wash  but seeing it in black &, in block print......well...... let me tell you, that was really something. SO FAST. But what I most love is the warm-up. Never knew about that, although have heard about the purge in other models. So.... does enough water gather in the sump to soak the dishes as the pump drains it away? Fascinating, really! This old stuff with their magical moves just slays me. | ||
