O Great and Powerful One: Mind if I ask what model KitchenAid DW you have in your kitchen pics on the Collections pages? I know it's mid-1960s, but I haven't a clue to the model number. Also, is it an MOL machine? I'd love to know more about it- what wash arm, how it performs, and if it's an easy machine to work on. Thanks! P.S.- Stay warm up there! | ||

The KitchenAid KDI-15 began it's life as some may remember as a KDI-55 convertible/portable. Robert installed in his kitchen after painting the panels turquoise. When he replaced it with that gorgeous Westinghouse, I brought the KDI home with me and combined the best of the parts with a KDS-55 I'd found at an estate sale here in Omaha. Here is the finished product. It runs perfectly and like all KA dishwashers, does a fantastic job.

Waaah!
Whimperwhimperwhimperwhimper..... Seriously, I love it! I'll have to keep looking until I find that MOL machine. Greg, what would you say the parts situation is on this generation of KA's? Motors, pumps, internal seals, etc.? I know timers, door seals and trim can be problematic, but what about the basic running gear? | ||

Those those pics Greg!
I too have been on a search for a KitchenAid Imperial Dua-Cycle KDI-15. I am sad that Robert's was scrapped out, but hope it was useful for Greg. I know they are getting rare. Would give anything to find one. I have the Superba Vari-cycle. I would also like to find the Custom model too in this line. This series has always been my favorite line for the vintage KitchenAid machines. For bells and whistles though, nothing beats the KitchenAid Superba KDS-17a. It did everything! Love how the action indicator light remains on if you interrupt the cycle. Plus, I like the motor, wash, and rack design of the 15, 16, 17 series with the plate loading down the center which included the arched upper rack in the center and the deep sides for tall tumblers. | ||

Nice dishwashers, I love the KA design, and its a shame it changed in 2000/2001 sometime, I always loves the proclean coated spakled tub. By the way, Robert and Gansky, how much water do your DW's use? | ||
