A Very Well preserved Dowager.. Will never reveal her age! Beautiful machine for sure and you can check one of the other threads on here for the production dates on the machine, It wasn't made for too long a period. Yours looks hardly used! The 20 has a nearly identical console but a change in the cycles and of course the heated dry! | ||

Holy Crap
That's the exact same KitchenAid I bought only in 1981. Mine was a Energy Saver IV. Same cycles . No Heat Dry,and I really can't tell the difference unless it had the water Heating sequence changed. Does yours have the Overhead Constant Rinse ? I have a KDS 20 whcih is the same machine only the cycles are different. But also has the heated dry after it was proven the dishes didn't dry well at all. Here's the 20 shots...

Only issue
Unless you have 150 degree water from start to finish, the drying is so,so. The incoming water has to be hot from the get go to heat up the Wash Chamber and keep it hot as residual heat with the pulsating fan will be the only resource of heat to get a mediocre dry.The cleaning ability is unbelievable. As I say... "Will scrub the rust of a trailer hitch." I'll trade you a KDS 20 for a A 806 set plus $$$. LOL And 3 Small item Baskets.

WOW... Very, Very Nice Drew!!!! CONGRATS!! So are you planning to keep this one and install it in YOUR kitchen? When are you going to try running a load of towels in it to see how it does? (Hmm, that should be interesting!) LOL I have a KDS 18 or 19 too, but it's kinda buried at the moment and mine has wood panels on the front. Kevin Here is a link to the KDS-16 I had...

Update: Houston, we have a problem...
Ran the KDS-19 thru her paces. Motor would not start but tried. Disassembled the pump and pulled lots of glass fragments that had jammed the lower impeller. There also was evidence of leakage on the motor housing. Sure enough, the dishwasher runs great EXCEPT the fine spray of water coming off the motor slinger. Sooo, it's time for new pump seals... I have two numbers in my reference that might help me: B-240366 & B-240384. Paging Stevet and others more knowing about Hobart K/A's! Is this pretty little one screwed? I hate to see one this clean and running as well as it does ending up as a parts donor or WORSE! RCD | ||

Good news! I imagine pump seals shouldn't be too hard to come by. Any damage to the impeller from the glass? Ebay whore to the rescue!!! CLICK HERE TO GO TO qsd-dan's LINK on eBay | ||
