Was posted here on the group several weeks back by the seller who one recalls is s member. There was quite allot of noise but aparently no takers in the end.
Nice KA dw but from what one remembers it lacks water heater. Therefore any household considering using this machine would need a decent supply of 120F or better 140F hot water. |

Saw the dw in a previous listing and as there wasn't a visable heating element assumed there wasn't one.
Upon closer examination do see there is something under the filter so guess that would be the heater. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK |

They all have water heaters except the first one, the beautiful KDS-14. I rewired my KDS-16 and added a relay so when ever the first 700 watt element is on the relay turns on the second 700 watt element. To do this the DW needs to be on a 20 amp 12 ga circuit. But let me tell you this DW gets the water hot even in the short cycle these machines had. I did this as this DW is in my 2nd house and it is all electric so to conserve power I keep the main water heater at 125 degrees. I have had this 2nd house almost 30 years and it has every appliance reasonably necessary including three built-in DWs and yet the average monthly power bill averages only about $25.00. |
