Hello there,
This is a Hobart Kitchenaid. It does not say Hobart on the tag?
It is a reversing motor. The second series of the reversing motors. Very good dishwasher.
I think that when Whirlpool started in the game with KA, the numbers would say KUDS 22 and such.
Take pictures please?
Congrats on your new find! FUN!
Brent

There is a Hobart Kitchen Aid dishwasher that was made in the late 50's early 60's...my aunt had this model...powerful machine....cast iron spray arm...no middle sprayer..

I would sit in front of it for hours listening the thrust of the water spaying...clanking of the solenoid valves for the gravity drain...forced air dry...

Be cool to get one of these to rebuild

That's a beautiful machine. My friends had one of that generation and not only did it clean well but it was IIRC very quiet. Congratz.

Chris,

It's beautiful. Is the control area background brown, or is that just the lighting? Does it sound any different than the one you took out? I just love those all pushbutton machines.

Very Cool!
Thank for the pictures!
This is in mint shape!
This is after the KDS-19 series. I have one of the KDS-19 series that did not have the dryer. Only a fan that dried the dishes. It works great, and without the heated dryer, it is not so bad. I built it as a portable, and use it often. The KDS-19A put back the heated dryer, and it still was the one direction motor with the silionoid drain. (SP) They are great working dishwashers! Very long wash period.
It will be interesting to us when you use it as to how many rinses it has.
I have KDS-22 that looks like yours, and only had the purge rinse, one rinse, and then the rinse with the Jet Dry.
This is a very good dishwasher, with so much life left. I say go ahead and use it! You will love it!
Thanks for the pictures!
Brent

Chris,
Thats a real beauty dishwasher. It looks like it is in good condition on the inside. - Good Luck with it.

Brent,
My Mom had the KA 19 Supurba series for 25 years. If you used jetdry the drying performance was good. But if not the drying wasn't that great. For that time it ran for a long time.

Hi Chris!
Wondering if since you are offering parts to your Whirly KA, does that meant that you are putting this beauty into your kichen?
If so, can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
Brent

Beautiful machine you have there. I've always thought that the Kitchen-Aids of that time were the easiest to load, and they seem to be of good quality.

Hi Chris. Congratulations on your new machine. I had one of those when I lived in New York City. A blessed Easter to you.
