Here is the problem... The purple wire to the pre-wash side of the detergent dispenser had shorted out. The connection to the bi-metal thingy just about crumbled in my hand.

So first we replace the bi-metal On the wash side of the cup. I wrapped the terminals with electrical tape to maybe keep any potential leaks off the conductors.

The broken bi-metal... The right side spoke is broken, which is where the shorted wire was connected. (sorry for the bad quality picture)

Pre-wash side done and taped to hopefully prevent future electrical issues

Aren't They Great ?
Congratulations on your repair. I just love my KDS-18. I hope it lasts for as long as I'm alive. I as well just love the noise they make. It just takes me back to the 70's and 80's, When we built things here in the states and quality and pride took the front seat. Come to think of it, I love all my machines.
