Thought you might like to see some pictures of my KitchenAid dishwasher collection. Also, my house was built in 1950. My kitchen is retro-looking, but my stove and refrigerator are newer. What I would like to do is install a stainless steel built-in wall oven from the 50's 60's era (electric). Any ideas how I could locate one? Now...here are some pics...

Todd--I am insanely jealous of your collection. I have a KDS-17, KDS-17A, and a KDS-18. Also a KUDS22 and KUDC23 on more-or-less permanant loan to friends. I would love to find a KDS-15 and a KDS-16. My grandmother had a KDI-15, my mom's cousin had a KDS-16 and as a kid we had a KDD-67 front load portable. Your KDS-36 must be exceedingly rare. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the rest of your collection! T. | ||

I just did a service call on a stainless Frigidaire double wall oven. The woman said it was a 1960 model. Unfortunately I was able to fix it so I assume they plan on keeping it. I will keep my eyes open for one though. | ||

I need help. I've been having fun going down memory lane on the KA web site with looking at owners manuals for their DW from the 20 series on up. They require 6 characters and the KUDSxx works fine. But to get to the 19 and below, I can't. KUD*** doesn't work nor does KDS-19. Can someone solve this riddle for me? Thanks.

Hi, Bob! Unfortunately, I don't think KA has online manuals for machines KD-19 and older. Bastards. And here's something else sinister! I was going through old parts diagrams, and the "cheapening" of the KDI-21 and KDC-21 machines I sort of ranted about in another thread (the 700W heating element used for water heating AND drying, the plastic fan duct, etc) which I had pinned on WP actually happened in mid 1985 on HOBART'S watch, and until the WP nomenclature ("KUDS"), they were known as KDI-21A and KDC-21A. Mid-1986 is when the Hobart name disappeared off the parts and service literature. Does anyone know how WP came to acquire the KA division from Hobart? Was Hobart in dire straits? Did WP make a deal Hobart couldn't refuse? Was there dirty work afoot? Inquiring minds want to know! T. | ||

thank you
Thank you guys for your positive comments about my machines. I can't tell you how many of my friends have seen them and looked at me like I was nuts. I do enjoy my hobby and I love working on them. I have the use and care manuals from the KD-22 series all the way back to the first KD-10 (with the exception of KDS-19...which I don't have). I also have collected service manuals, sales brochures and magazine advertisements. Also....thanks too for the tips on locating a vintage oven. I hope someday to have all of my favorite appliances in my kitchen! Deeptub and Customline: I would love to know more about your dishwasher collection! | ||

Oven You might try to connect with a kitchen remodeller who usually tosses these old ovens because they arent self-cleaning. I have one that I got that way. SteveD | ||

well now i know who to ask when i'm looking for a pre year 2000 dual wash arm KA dishasher! once i'm out of college and have my own pad, i'm going on a crazy KA hunt. My first choice is the KUD23 series...it's my favorite. Once i have those i was thinking of throwing a stainless steel upper arm rack....if the plastic one bugged me much......i'll see. BTW, my best friend and i go for thai food in davenport all the time when i visit him from IL. | ||

Veg, How can you go thru life w/out a KitchenAid dishwasher? We have got to get you back on the stick. Not coming to the Yankee wash-in was bad enough, but no KD? Tsk, tsk, tsk. :-) LOL, Bobby in Boston | ||

Thanks guys!
Wow....such wonderful people you all are! (Blush) I have never received such support for my KitchenAid interest. If anyone ever needs copies of manuals or anything....just email me at MrFrench70@aol.com I'm glad I made your night Brent...LOL. Do you or anyone else on here have pictures of their KitchenAids to share? I loved the vintage portable unit pictured on here recently. Also...if anyone is passing through Davenport, Iowa...let me know....would love to have you stop by. | ||

Looks like a showroom! My parents had a KDI-17a. Two, actually. One was installed in the house (built in 1964) in which I grew up, then there was already one in the house to which we moved in 1980. One of my aunts also had a KDI-17a (she replaced it with a newer Imperial some years ago), and another aunt had a KDC-17a. I have a KUDS-22 stashed in my garage.

KitchenAid turns up everywhere!
My sister lives in a house inherited from her aunt and it has KDI16 from 1969. I'll get pictures as soon as I use up the film. It's still going strong and we want to hold onto it, do repair people still know how to repair it? Now, I was looking at a music video on vh1 and what to I see? Go to the website below, click on "We are One Tonite" and it is about halfway through with a pregnant woman closing the KA. Nep

Stainless Steel Wall Oven I have some friends that I sold a house to, a ranch(1950's) that has a fabulous 1960 stainless wall oven, but they think it is too small for them. Give me an email and I will contact you. Phil Turo turop@aol.com | ||

Didn't Whirlpool get the built in food waste disposer idea in their dishwashers from Hobart/ Kitchenaid? I always thought that was something that came from that acquisition, versus something that was "home grown" | ||

Electrasol tabs migh work!
Actually, I'm not sure if there was a soap dish. I do remember directions on Cascade that said you could put two tablespoons on the bottom of the tub. On my sister's KDI16 the soap dispenser doesn't work so I use two Electrosol tabs, one at the beginning and then I open the door to add another at the long wash period. Now, my BIL tries to use only one tab at the beginning - you have to use two!. Electrosol tabs would probably work in your Hobart too.

Tea strainer
Good idea! I notice that the fill on the KD-2P is a spray fill. That is, it enters at mid-level and a diverter spreads the flow in a shower pattern across the tub, just under the upper rack. In any case, any soap dish or tea strainer would have to be on the upper rack to avoid getting wetted and spent before the main wash beings. Wetted and spent... why am I anticipating a reply from Toggle here? :-) | ||
