The woman wouldn't take more than $20 Bucks, she said you might not like the way it cleans dishes.She also said "You really need to prewash everything." Now come Boys and Girls...We know the power these machines have. After I cleaned the line strainer and fired her up ..."Holy Crap" this machine will take the rust of a trailer hitch. She runs Perfect. |

Nate, I was gonna say the same thing. Roger has the same model. Somewhere around here is a couple of pictures of me and BobLoading at the 2006 or 2007 Tuscon gathering. Mind you, it's all DISHES and glasses, no bowls or other such things. Bowls, pans, and such got resserved for the KD18 in Roger's kitchen, ya know, the one with MULTIPLE wash arms, one under each rack!!!, where I don't have to think about where I'm gonna put stuff, just shove it in on that 18.

It's a funny thing. I've got nick names for all my machines except one. There is Kaydee (KD2-P)...Maydee (for 70 GE Mobile Maid,KenWhirl 2004, The Busted 56 Mobile Maid which that A--H--e sent me back the busted motor,La Regina, and The KDS 18 which I just refer to the Superba, because I think it the best cleaning machine. I sit here at the keyboard listening to this new machine and DAMN that thing has got some b--ls. It's amazing how that thing is just cleaning like this woman I bought from has not heard this machine perform in years. Tomorrow New pics of Newly Detailed. Hugs to all you guys ,,,Eddie |

The '89 Maytag in the house in Ogden had a similar issue, but it was due to detergent build up. I was able to flush it out and trip the cup open manually until it went by itself. It was a spring-loaded trigger on it, though. Yours looks like a solenoid is controlling the cup release. THAT is pretty cool if it is! Worst comes to worst, I guess you could just toss in some detergent at the start of the cycle and the first pre-rinse could become the pre-wash... |

I have a butcher block in my kitchen that was my mothers and she always used mineral oil on it. I have sanded it and used that on it also. Still looks as good as it did 40 years ago. You can pick up a small bottle at most drug stores. Jon |

Thanks everyone doe writing back. The water pressure is very good here in the house. We have a 3/4 in feed. You can have the washer,dishwasher, lawn sprinkler on and still take a shower with plenty of pressure.But you know starting from the KD2 and now the Regency, these are true "dishwashers. I change all my prep habits when I am using these machines. I love them very much and enjoy using them, but I miss BobLoading them. I use all plates, saucers and anything flat for my prep for dinner, that way if there is any room in the upper rack for a pot or skillet I can get that in. With that said, there is no Constant Rinse. Mike , you are right about the noise when it's filling with water. The machine is very noisey when it is about 1/2 to3/4 of the way through the fill cycle, but once that last bit of water gets there it is actually pretty quiet for a machine of that era. We'll see if the dispensor opens on it's own tonight. Mike if you ever are down on the Cape it would be nice to meet you. And if I'm ever heading up that way I'll give you a shout too. Be well Everyone, Eddie |
