Hi, First of all, this unit was not made in 1980; my best guess would be around 1969. It's a great dishwasher. I have a service manual for the Superba KDS-17a which, for many parts, should be close enough. If you want to post pictures of the parts in question, I will scan relevant pages and post them to you. The manual is 41 pages long, so I don't really want to have to scan all of it. Also, if you want, I can have it copied and mail it to you, but I would ask you to pay the charges. |

Hi Navymech, Congratulations on your newly addition. It is a fantastic dishwasher. I have that exact model in my kitchen. It has been washing dishes beautifully since 1968. I have the use and care, sales brochure, and service manual for that machine. Putting the parts is very simple. I noticed from your picture that the man also removed the evaporation channel also...he didn't need to, but oh well. That piece is the 24" long metal bar with the black rubber strip attached. Put that on first. There are two phillips head screws for that that are machine screws (short and no tapered edge). Once that is on, all you should have is the lower panel and the black metal kickplate. The lower panel has two "ears" on the inside on each end which tucks up and behind the clip from the evaporation channel. Next, attach the kickplate. That is the black metal strip that will rest on the floor. Each end has a hole for two phillips tapered screws. These are usually black so they are more inconspicuous. Once the kickplate is attached, you can attach the lower panel. As you put the lower panel on you have to tilt it 45 degrees to an angle, tuck the "ears" up behind the evaporation channel clips and slide up and push in until the panel is straight. There are two phillips tapered end screws which screw into two holes underneath the panel on the bottom at each end. Hope this helps. Email me at MrFrench70@aol.com if you have further problems. I can send pictures or speak to you on the phone and walk you through this. |
