I am attaching some pictures of the dishwasher. The dishwasher is entact, all parts are in place. The motor has burned up, but everything was working fine at the time the motor went out. The dishwasher is located in Newberry, SC. If anyone is interested contact: andjayhawk@bellsouth.net Thanks for your help.

Would it be possible to source a motor for it and make it operational for daily use? I would love to do it - put it alongside my Miele when we redo the kitchen but I think my partner would shoot me first! | ||

My guess is that this is the same motor as on the KD-2P, which in turn may or may not be similar to that on the KDS-17A. I have both so I'll try to compare them to see if there's any possibility of swapping if someone can get hold of a parts KDS-17 or earlier. Can't do it right now, on short lunch break. | ||

Motors can be rewound and rebuilt. Robert had his Apex dishwasher motor rewound. I think it was about $350. You might want to bring it to a rebuilder to be sure it can be. | ||

Update 5/19/2006
I got an e-mail from the guy and offered $50.00 to start. I hope I did not insult him but I explained that to repair the motor is expensive. Thanks Robert for the e-mail and posting about the motor. I think if I get it the motor migh not be bad as he thinks but If I get it I'll take more detailed pics and hope to get some feedback from ya'll. Maybe my Dad will help LOL. Joe jamman_98 | ||

I got it!!
Ok the guy let me have it for $50.00 and now I have to get my Dad to help me because I'll have to store it at his place. So part 2 is to talk to my Dad LOL. But June 2nd I'll pick the machine up. I"ll take some more pics of it too and post. I'm kina hoping my Dad will help me fix it - he needs a hobby now. I don't think I'll convince him to come to our side but he likes to tinker with stuff :-) Joe jamman_98 | ||

Update on the Dishwasher
Today my Dad and I went to Newberry to pick up the machine. I have to say I'm very impressed with it. You can eat off that beautiful blue speckled enamile (sp) inside! I discovered the cause of the problem. Seems that where the water enters in the dishwasher on the side, the gasket leaked and water ran down to the motor. Underneath the machine looks brand new. Even has the tags that come with the intallation. I don't have any more pics but promise that when it get's installed in my eventual new home I will post. I did try to take some pics of the motor that will have to be fixed. I hope I can find a person to rewind it as the black spots are where the copper is burnt to a crisp. Speaking of tags, I think the year of this machine is 1955 but not absolutly sure. Better minds will tell me. BTW I can tell that plumbing this thing is going to be a b*tch. I'll need ya'll help. jamman_98 Joe
