it's been awhile since I've done any kitchenaid repair and I forget. are pump seals for the 18 models still available thru Hobart? I remember I got seals for some 17 and earlier models from them as they were the same as the seals in their commercial machines.
I have a kds-18 that I just dug out of the barn and decided to work on. the pump seal I have might be ok, been about 5 years since I tested it, would like to pick up a new seal for it anyway. any info you guys can supply would be appreciated. and I still have that maytag top loader from the 70's that I would like to find a good home for. it's free, it worked fine last time I used it and it's harvest gold. I'm in the Cincinnati area. thanks |

FSP PN is 4162139. Several are available out on ebay for pennies on the dollar, compared to the Hobart price.

I checked e bay and there a lot of them there for 10 bucks or less including shipping. I also found the seal kits for the 17 series which I still have a bunch of machines. I will get a couple of each.
anyone have the part no. for the older 14-15 series machines? I did buy from Hobart but I think I got the last 2 in existence from them about 10 yrs. ago. wondering if perhaps there is some on e bay? thanks again guys! |

You can use the same spring loaded carbon and neopreme seal in KA KD-15 through the WP built machines of the 25 series.
Also the same seal fits MT DWs from the begenning till the tall tub models in the early 2000s.
And the same seal fits WP DWs from about 1973 through the end of the standard tub power clean DWs around 2009.
I always bought these seals under a MT Pt# by the bag full new for about $6 a piece.

I will check it out online now.
also, I know you are an expert on appliance info, like steve is on kitchenaids, do you know if there is a way I can get an agitator arm (I believe it's called) for my Frigidaire 1-18? I rebuilt the 1-18 about 10 years ago with new seal and other goodies, it worked great till one day the agitate shaft unscrewed from the agitate arm and this caused the arm to become damaged in the ball socket. it cannot be used anymore. I would love to get this machine running again. any info appreciated. |
