I have this dishwasher as a second dishwasher. Portable. You will like it's cleaning. The cycles are very different from the 18 series. I really like the main wash, it is longer than the 18. Very nice! Brent |

That's a really nice find Eddie, congrats! Ok a window needs go into a machine of this style in this spot (pictured below), question is where to move the detergent dispenser. I could live without the rinse aid dispenser, but obviously the detergent dispenser is necessary. I suppose it could be moved to the side of the tank and you could use packet or tablet type detergent to easily load the dispenser turned on its side. Any other ideas????

You know Robert...Now that I have 2 KDS I was thinking the same thing. Really. I was thinking about cutting a Window around the Detergent Dispensor. I don't ever use Jet Dry here on the Cape, Our water is just fine. I just was running the '57 KD2P and listening to it, and I think that Wash Arm spins faster than your KD12GWSP. I cleaned the Brass Bearing when I was restoring mine that the wash arm has that sits on the pump/sump. What do you think ? Cutting a window from just underneath the timer/controls like a upside down U. This way you really wouldn't disturb anything. The starboard side (Whoops, I'm a mariner) would also be the perfect site for the light window and actually the left side as well. The fill flume is very high on the left top of the machine. Would you be interested in bringing your jigsaw to the Cape for a weekend, and I would cook for you 4-18 meals a day ??/ (LOL). So good to hear from you. I'm flattered. I think it's time to unleash the Forbidden Hydro Sweep. I know you did that with your Imperial DuaCycle, but I think it's time to do the Double Rack Spray Arms. I'm soaking the filter right now to get that Shiffaffa off the screen. Other than that, she's mint. So which should be the "Very Nervous KitchenAid ?" The KDS-18 or the Newer KDS-20 ??? |

My parents have one in their house in black that they built back in 1981. Beautiful machine and works wonderfully. Still in use after all these years. Their kitchen still has the origional jenn air range and had the origional Gibson refrigerator until this summer when it died on them and they chose to get a new Samsung instead of repairing it.

What do you think ? Cutting a window from just underneath the timer/controls like a upside down U. The challenge I see with that Eddie is getting a piece of thicker glass cut in that shape and then sealing it properly to the door. I think a perfect square or rectangle might be easier, but if there is a will ;). Here is the challenge, guys.. Stop cutting holes in the metal and see if you can't just fabricate a complete plexiglass door and remount all the components in that door! LOL Steve, now that would be a challenge, although I have thought about ways to do that. The problem with using Plexiglas over glass is that it gets cloudy over time with dishwasher detergents and expands and contracts more when heat is applied to it than glass does. I did do that four years ago, here is the link to that archived thread. |
