Will be receiving a KDS-18 this week. It has been unused since 1983, what should I look for or do to get her back up and running? Any help appreciated, thanks, Tom | ||

RESTARTING STORED DW 1 hook it up 2 pour at least 1/2 gallon in bottom 3 run it through a full cycle with regular detergent with lower panel removed while checking for any leaks 4 if it passes these tests try washing a really dirty greasing load of dishes 5 if it passes the cleaning test repete #4 a few hundred times cleaning filter as nesscessary. | ||

I will Hook up the machine, (electricity and water) but fill the machine with hot water and olive oil and let soak for 20 minutes, then push "Normal Wash" and let machine continue to fill and start cycle while looking for leaks. Sound right? Thanks, Tom | ||
