ah a uni-coupler. The needed adapter is avaialable at your local hardware store. Look for a quick-connect coupler for DW-ers. IIRC there are three styles. One is way off from what you'll need and other other two have a long and a short aerator. Also unscrew your present aerator to see if the threads are inside or outside the tip of the the water spout. Some adapters come with a second piece that allows you to use them with either inside or outside threads. one of those is bound to fit! If you look at the inside of the water inlet hose-coupler (top one) there is probably a little prong that is intended to hold up a metal "plate" within the bottom of the aerator(the part connected to the faucet). This allows the water out of the faucet quicker and un-aerated. CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK | ||

Toggles is right, of course
I have the exact same model dishwasher, and it also came without the faucet attachment. However I was able to pick one up at a local Orchard Supply Hardware store for less than $10, as I recall. There are a couple of types, and as I recally you will want the larger type. You might want to take careful measurements of the female connector on the end of the hoses so that it matches up with the male connector you need to put on the faucet. | ||

Nice Machine.
I have the Original Owner's Manual. The Bottom Rack is turned around. The Silverware basket should be in the back of the machine. But that's not important. You would only use a hot wash. The machine runs through a hot water purge to heat up the Cast Iron Parts for about 1 minute. I'll attach some pics of the top rack in the load position.

Cycles...
The machine is pretty quick. 1.5 Start Warm up "Purge",7 minute Wash,1 minute drain, 2 minute Rinse and one more 1 minute Rinse.Drying time is 24 minutes. It uses about 9 gallons of water total. 43 minutes Total Time for the Cycle. My scanner is not working but I'll post some pages of the Owner's Manual when it's up. The detergent dispensor holds 1 full Tablespoon of detergent. Just throw it in the bottom of the machine at the front. This will prevent it from getting flushed out near the fill port at the back of the machine.

Your built in kitchen Aid is very sharp looking. Is it very old? And what about the birds? Are they vintage too? When I was little my neighbour had them. Just loved them. She used to make them drink beer. Great memories for a 6 year old kid. | ||

Just wondering how well those dishwashers cleaned? If there is only a spray arm in the bottom, didn't it just toss all the sediment up to the top and land on the cups and glasses? | ||

Washing Ability
These machines wash extremely well, but you have to watch your racking as nothing in the bottom rack (such as a mixing bowl or pot) should block the spray to the top rack. On nights when I use the machine, I use as many plates to put my 'Preped" food that is to be cooked. And use the center section of the top rack for bowls and small pots etc. The motor and pump in this machine pumps 45 gal of water per minute through that spray arm. I have not had any piece come out of that machine dirty or sketchy | ||

the broken hinge Hi sudsmaster your reply is very interesting... Could you send me a picture of your stainless Hinge? Would it be possible to buy one from you if it reveal itself to be what I need. | ||

ACE
Check out the following link. It's a photo of one of the hinge pair I made to replace the broken ones. If I were to sell you a replacement, I'd have to make them, as I only made enough to restore my machine. Right now that's a little difficult because I'm in the middle of changing jobs - I made the replacement set after hours on my own time in my old workplace. My home workshop isn't quite up to it as yet, but maybe in a while I'll be able to do some personal work after hours in my new workplace. CLICK HERE TO GO TO sudsmaster's LINK | ||

I have a KDS-14 that uses that big blue wash arm, and YES they clean excellent!!!! Just don't block the water flow to the top, and, use a good detergent (I have best results with Cascade), and you will rarely have a dish come out that is dirty. ENJOY!!!!!!!!! | ||
