Ok guys I need some help. My dad has agreeded to help get my own place and I"m so excited that I will finally have a place to hookup my KD-12 dishwasher among my other collection peices in storage. I checked it out and know it has a gravity drain but someone on the discussion forum creativly figured out how to hook up a sump pump in a bucket with the KD he owns. I can't seem to find it. I do remember that there are pictures of it. If anyone can find it please post. I got an e-mail a while back that a member might have a motor to replace too so I'm waiting on a response to that. Hopefully by Christmas I will be in a new place. Thanks Joe jamman_98 |

Here is the thread you were talking about... When I used my gravity drain KDC-14 in the kitchen, I simply wired an electric pump from a Whirlpool portable washer in series with the motor and used it that way. The pump runs all the time the motor does, the drain valve controls the flow of water out of the machine. You couldn't hear the pump running when the dishwaser is running and the clothes washer pump evacuated the water very quickly in the fairly short drain period. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK |

I tried it, Chris, the solenoid is energized only when the valve is closed, holding water in the tank. The default position is drain valve open, solenoid de-energized so it's backwards for when the pump is needed. The drain valve is a heavy brass pipe arrangement that includes the safety overflow tube and is connected with the pump as one piece.
