 We have a resident Hobart/KitchenAid expert here, but I think he'll need more specifics on what's wrong.
That is a rare trim option with the stainless panels. These are very capable machines, but since they have only a single wash arm, you need to be careful with how you load it. Large pots and bowls on the bottom rack will block the spray from reaching items on the top rack. While it might require a little discipline with loading, the machine should out-perform modern day models, with stronger spray action and much, much faster cycle times.
Give our expert Steve some time to reply here and he may be able to guide you through some trouble-shooting.
P.S.
Interior shots would be much appreciated! | ||

I may have spare parts
I live in Durham (just around the corner from you). I actually have one of these machines in my basement that someone took out of school (it is in rough shape - I am sure it doesn't work). In any case, I took it because it was free and thought I should hold on to it for the parts. With that said, if you are in need of a part, you are free to scavenge mine.
If you decide to scrap yours, please contact me and I may be able to "preserve" it. | ||

If.....
....You decide not to repair this machine, I would be very interested in the front panels.
However, this is not a machine to give up on lightly. It's an excellent dishwasher, though some later KitchenAids were even better. It is a better machine than most anything you can buy today, and you definitely should repair it and return it to service if possible. That having been said, if repairs don't seem feasible, please feel free to contact me; just click on my username (in blue at the top of this post) and my email address can be found in my profile. Best of luck - and hopefully stevet, our resident KA expert, can help restore it to health. This post was last edited 12/11/2012 at 20:28 | ||

Where can I get parts Im in the same situation. 2nd owner of a home that has an immaculate superba 15, but it's not getting any water. I downloaded a service repair manual, and I think I need to replace the solenoid valve. Where can I get parts? Jon | ||
