It's a Whirlpool, similar to your ISE, early 1990s. This was the next-to-the-last of the Hobart-styled KAs. My friends here have the same thing (it's being replaced due to very bad door hinge accidentally broken). I should have looked yesterday when I was at their house to see if it was a 22 or a 23. It's very quiet, pretty much all I hear is water swishing. Sounds like an acquariam pump.

Rich, the free machine sounds very similar to the one that's been washing away in my kitchen for the last 17 years. It's probably got a lot of similarities to the ISE you picked up so it's a matter of appearances more than anything. If you like the way the ISE looks, don't beat yourself up over not going after the KA. They are basically the same machine. I think KA's tend to find new homes more often than other makes and I'm sure this one will.

I've got a KDS23. Although it's Whirlpool made, it's the still the Hobart design and it's a very excellent dishwasher. Extremely quiet, too. Bobby in Boston |

Ralph, If it was a Superba model ("KUDS"?) I might be tempted. Otherwise, I need to keep the appliance "collection" under control. The model I'd like to find is a TOL KA Superba in good or better condition with metal blower (heating element in blower) and water heating element in sump. I'm not overly fond of the single big heating element which does double duty as a water heater and a heated dry heater - mainly because it seems like these tend to melt plastic more readily on the lower rack than the heated blower type. |
