I have started to dissemble the KD-10. I was able to remove the impeller with two screwdrivers moving it slowly off the shaft. All seals are brittle and are just crumbling apart.
I will need all new seals, so if anyone has any idea on where to get them or what would work, please let me know. I hope to be able to work on it more sometime this week. Next, working on taking out the motor. Steve, thanks for the great instructions about the two screwdrivers to remove the impeller, worked great and I did not need any PB Blaster to do the job. Will keep everyone informed of the progress. Joe |

With the screwdriver tip! We still use that same method when it comes to removing impellers on the larger machines. |

Great work Joe, it's coming along nicely!!!
Just a heads up, those rubber gaskets you cut, might work but if there still is some leaks you should cut cork gaskets. I have found that on brand new parts rubber works just fine, but on old parts where detergent has corroded a bit of the sealing surfaces cork seals much better. You can get cork on a roll at any auto parts store. |

Hey Robert,
Thanks, I am always open to suggestions. This is my first vintage dishwasher repair. I really don't want to do this twice. I would hate to use rubber gaskets and put it all back together and have leaks. So since I am the novice, I took your advice and went down to get a roll of cork material at the auto parts store. So I am going to make gaskets out of cork now. New seals will be here on Wednesday, no idea about the motor. It just depends on what needs to be done. No idea on cost or time it will take to have motor done. I told them it does not matter, I want the Old Gal up and running again. When I find out cost and time I will let everyone know. Thanks Again!!! Joe |
