Should've seen this coming....
While the tub slipped into the cabinet frame relatively easily, getting the mounting bolts lined up again was no picnic... I had this poor thing on it's back and on it's sides trying to get the bolts lined up. I did manage to get them lined up after a good amount of cursing only to find that I should have put the rack glides.... You can imagine what I said...

Here's a hard-learned trick for mounting a dishwasher motor that I acquired while working on a friend's 59 Mobile Maid and my own 58 Frigidaire - do it upside down!

Time to get the door back on... I was dreading this because the cabinet might not have been perfectly square after being welded back together.
Nope. It was fine! What took me a while was figuring out how exactly to put the door hinges and brackets back together again. AFTER I got it together, I realized I could have simply looked at the door on the 1963 Kenmore '600' Roto-Rack still in the 'unfinished' corral in the garage... Oh well...

I commend your work so far! I'm sure your efforts will eventually be rewarded with lovely, clean dishes. Could I ask how that drain operates (not the water draining bit, how the water gets out thru that drain)? | ||

how the water gets out thru that drain There is a solenoid-controlled lever that will pop the drain plug up, allowing the water to drain. It's not a very good shot, but in reply #7, the solenoid and part of the lever mechanism can be seen on the right hand side of the drain tube. This is the first gravity-drain dishwasher I have worked on (although the 1950 Youngstown Kitchens Jet-Tower might be....) - not familiar with these at all .... yet!!

Paul what a great undertaking and what a great job.
Cant wait to see the results and the surprise your working on. That door alignment why is it so hard Paul ? Washer 111 Gravity drains rock I have learned this from Robert's machine. I only saw this in commercial units only.. not for the home. Now I'm spoiled. Gravity drain at it's best. Robert's Kitchenaid. Darren k | ||
