HI Chris The experts on this forum will tell you what to check. If you determine that a component has gone bad, I probably have a used one since I am parting out a KDS-21. keep us informed & best regards Mark |

Hi. Eddie here (toploader55) . You should be able to figure this out. stevet is a Hobart Man. I have rebuilt a 1957 KitchenAid with his help. What I found with a KDS-18 when I got it that was one (1) wire was off the fill valve. Check all your wiring and just make sure that one wire just didn't corroded off of got loose. It's one of the best machines I ever had and I'm running it right now. This is a great club and we're all willing to help. "Save the Great Ones ". Eddie Just so you know what's happening here, Check out my last thread about my KitchenAid Regency.18117 Introducing LaRegina. Got this great machine from a woman that was redoing her kitchen. She told me it was not cleaning well. Plugged Line Strainer. Check it out and welcome to Auto Wash.org. Eddie |

Chris, I had a Kitchenaid KDS-18 like the one shown above for many years and would not trade it for anything! It was my all time favorite dishwasher. I have had many since then... I currently have a Bosch in the house I'm in now. I sure do miss My Kitchenaid. Things to consider... The Kitchenaid is much easier to load. The rack design is much better than the Bosch. The Kitchenaid has heated warm air blown in to dry the dishes.Bosch does not. I always empty the Bosch using a dish towel to dry everything. The Kitchenaid uses less time since it uses a fair amount of water during the cycle. The Bosch takes 2 hours per load. Yes,2 hours. Hang on to that Kitchenaid if you can! They just don't make them like that anymore... Jim |

Jim,should I start restoring the 18 I have sitting right next to me here in the garage? Do yo want the small or large upper washarm? Also has the vari-front panel kit so you get a choice of original colors too! |
