I scored big time with this dishwasher. I called him and he said to come over that he just moved in there and the old folks did not use it much. He justs wants it out of his garage. It is a 1985 Kitchenaid imperial 21 and has that great 1/2HP motor motor in it.This dishwasher was not used much there was no dust on the dryer blower.Here are some pics I just took. He was updating his kitchen so I asked him if he needed a disposer and he did.When I got there and he saw the disposer we swapped even.I have been

wanting one of these for years but,they are so hard to find and when you do there crap.This is the best used one I have ever had

and it's not a half whirlpool and Kitchenaid . The dryer is metal unlike my others I have had and you can tell it's made better by

little things...

That's a TOL Superba, not an Imperial. 

You got a sweet deal!

Your right it is a Superba 21. I gave him a Kitchenaid Imperial disposer well not a real one but a

I.S.E. clone that I had in the box.He did not know the difference in disposer's or cares 

but, he did tell me he hates his new Whirlpool dishwasher's his wife bought.

It runs all night long and don't clean like this Kitchenaid he was loading in my truck.

I agreed and said that's why I am here.

I don't think the old couple that had this house( he moved in last month)  used this dishwasher much at all everything is to clean and not worn for

a dishwasher that is 30 years old.I love how these look with stainless steel panels in them it's a very retro design.

It is I think a 1984 model it has a Hobart motor in it 1/2 H.P. I took it apart and looked at everything and I just can't get over

that this dishwasher is 31 years old and it in this good of shape.There is no rust anywhere save for those brown spots on the right

side.There is two places on the rack in the bottom that I need to fix but there tiny.I have had two other machines like this.

The first one had a Emerson motor in it and so did the 2nd one but the 2nd one had the heater in a different place and the dryer/heater

was gone just a blower in it.That machine fell apart on me quick it had the same type of pump but there where alot of things that

was changed on it.I did test it and it works wonderful no leaks it was just strange that normal wash was so quick and over compared

to today.

The single final rinse was never an issue for me with my ISE Classic Supreme, which was a KA series 22 clone.  Don't lose sleep over it.

You got the last of the 100% Hobart KA dishwashers, and you can count on it for many, many years of trouble-free service. 

You scored big time, Wes.
