So I moved on from the the KD-2P to my pink spin-tube dishmobile. It is missing the fill solenoid. I have several dishwashers for parts (15 or 16 series kitchenaid, an early 70's kenmore roto-rack, and a plastic tube BOL GE). Does anybody know of a reason why I couldn't use the fill solenoid off one of those machines on my Frigidaire machine? I can't think of a reason not to do it off the top of my head, but I thought I would check around first.
And, while I have your attention, if anyone would like to offer advice on the pump seal, that would be great. I took the machine outside today, powered it up, put some water in it, and it leaks at the pump seal. Fortunately the pump and spray-tube assembly work great!. Has anbody changed one of these pump seals out? I am assuming that the seal is NLA, so I am thinking about fabricating one out of a sheet of silicone unless somebody has better ideas (and I am all ears). thanks again for all your advice guys! |

From what I can gather at first pass, it is definitely leaking at the pump to tank seal, and I think it might also be leaking from the pump seal as well. I'm glad to know you are thinking that at least first pass my methods seem reasonable.
No luck thus for on the KD-2P. If I am slow enough during the day at work this week I am going to see if I can contact Hobart. |
