Wow very nice!!! Congrats! Go to the Kitchenaid website and you can download the manual and install instructions...they will show how to put the lower kick panel on. It's really not that hard...it basically slides up and then is screwed at the bottom.
Mine is a Hobart build machine from 1985 so it doesn't have the beefed up sound insulation that yours does. I added quite a bit though and it's fairly quiet now. It's a beast for cleaning...I'm very happy with it. Keep us posted! | ||

Welcome and Nice dishwasher: I agree 100% about the styling. These are great dishwashers. Mine is a KUDS-23 (Whirlpool Powerclean pump) but otherwise similar and I love it. Welcome to the club. WK78

You're very welcome! Looks like yours has that extra Quick Glass cycle...mine does not. I was lucky too with mine. It was very lightly used. No rust anywhere. The woman I bought mine from just used it on the holidays LOL.
What I love about these machines is that you don't have to be too picky with how you load it. As long as everything has exposure to the water, it will get clean. You can really stuff these full. | ||

One thing I've experienced with my machine anyway is that using STPP or a detergent with phosphorus seems to work best with these old guys. When I was using new detergent alone my machine would make a loud groan when it drained. I now put in about 1/2 teaspoon of STPP in each cup when I run it. It stopped the noise...and it keeps the inside very clean. I imagine the Cascade Fryer Boil Out would do similar...just to keep in mind.

Yes Mopar I love it. It for sure will add to some flair to my kitchen. All I need know is to find a early 90's Jenn Air electric range and Kitchenaid double door refrigerator that matches the dishwasher. It will be great to have clean dishes again without the long wait. | ||

The powders work best. Cascade Complete is my favorite. The pacs/tabs do work but you have to be careful of them. Some get too frothy for the extra water that these machines use. I'm currently using regular Cascade pacs and they seem ok. I use 2 though, not 1. I throw one in the tub at the beginning and one in the main wash cup. I used the Platinum pacs and found they got too sudsy. The Sams pacs are good too. I haven't tried the Finish tabs.

The DW hasn't been installed yet, I just ordered the mounting brackets that installs under the cabinet as mine didn't come with any which is odd. Ugh, I wanna get this baby fired up ASAP. | ||

New Bosch's are good dishwashers I have to admit. But honestly most mid to high end dishwashers these days are good. Despite using less water, they do clean very well. My Frigidaire Gallery i bought new in 2014 was an excellent cleaner. I just took the opportunity to get a vintage KitchenAid when I found one.
