 My guess is that you have a KUDI-23, the "I" designating the "Imperial" model. I would approximate the machine's manufacturing date to be early to mid '90s.
Yours is an excellent dishwasher, as you're well aware, and worth fixing.
Resident KA expert SteveT will perhaps be able to advise on parts availability. Meanwhile, start checking craigslist for a possible parts donor machine.
We had a KUDI-21 that never needed any repairs for the 18 years we owned the house where we had it installed new. Some would say that the improved KUDI-23 is an even better performer. | ||

Thank you Okay, I will try to get to the motor sometime and look closer at it. Thanks for the eBay link too. And, I found the official model #KUDJ230Y2 | ||

It is :) It is the exact part, I'll watch it. I was hoping to find something cheaper, or another machine like mine... thanks for the heads up! | ||

Sorry I know it's pricy. But new ones in the box don't come along every day. I noticed they have a Make Offer option. Why not offer what you're willing to pay and see what happens? I do alot on eBay and my experience is sometimes these folks just test the water with the Buy It Now price and accept much less on the Make Offer option.
It's worked for me in the past as I have scored some pretty good deals. On the flip side, some think they have a piece of Gold and won't budge. You never know. | ||

Make Offer I have only made an offer two or three times, but every time the offer has been accepted.
Granted, it may have been for unusual items that might not be in as much demand as a part for a vintage appliance like the subject dishwasher, of which there are many still working in kitchens across the nation, but there's still nothing to lose in making an offer.

Great CL Score! That machine you found appears to have been well maintained and has perhaps seen relatively little use.
I'd just switch out the two machines if the new one checks out OK. You can swap out the lower panel inserts (or from the looks of it, maybe the entire panels) and use the good one from your current machine.
If you have the room, keep your old machine as a parts donor. | ||

Timer for your machine.. Hello piemaker. I know you found a donor machine but I happened to come across a timer on eBay that you might want to pick up and keep as a spare. It's brand new and listed for $15. It's a relist meaning it didn't go the first time so I bet you can get it for $15. It would be worth it to have as a spare.
