Hi Dave, wow I'm very impressed! Great job!
What I did for the light is I changed the door switch from a Single Pole/Single Throw switch to a Single Pole/Double Throw switch. That way when the door is opened the light comes on and when the door is closed and the machines starts the light comes on. I love having the light come on when I open the door as well. Our Picture Window Lady Kenmore has R-W-R-W-R-R so I had no choice but to install the dispenser on the side. Be sure to use good sensor safe silicone for sealing the glass to the inner door and the side window for the light. | ||

Silicone Robert what is "sensor safe" silicone? How can you determine which brands are formulated that way? | ||

Here is everything I used: 2 pieces of lamanated safty glass, stainless hardware, a light fixture, a tube of ultra blue, and an on off switch (for the light) that I didn't end up using. Total cost about $80

I cut the side for the light first. Just traced the glass and made it a bit smaller. I chose to use and angle grinder then just filed the sharp edges.

I had to cut the notch so the glass would make a good seal due to a contour in the door, that's also why it off-center. I can fix all that with the trim

I had to move the detergent dispenser to the side so I cut out the hole pattern to use as a template.

Then I took it all back apart and ran a bead of ultra blue around the windows and tightened up all the bolts.

This was the hardware I used. I bent the washer 1/4" so it would lay flat on the glass.

It is going to be installed in our new / old kitchen (all vintage appliances) soon, the only missing piece we need is a refrigerator which has been harder to find than expexted. | ||

This looks AWESOME! Great work!
I kinda really wanna do this to one of my KD-58's. I just dunno if I could convince my self to cut the porcelain. My only thoughts were instead of remounting the dispensers, couldn't water from the constant rinse (in my case) be diverted with a valve into a bin like a washing machine so you could fill the soap sections, it would fill the bin and have that drain into the water fill gap or something as it is running? Basically a rigged detergent dispensing system? All tied into the timer output for the dispenser release? A few relays and a microcontroller would make it simple, just have it sense the dispenser output voltage. Anywho, this is an awesome project! Love the pics and video! | ||
