So this past weekend a lovey KDS-18 got installed in my 1978 kitchen. Very nice machine, I must add! Now am in search of a 1978ish refrigerator in almond since my retro stove is the same color... |

The dishwasher is amazing! Spotless dishes, and it sounds like a dishwasher should!
Sadly, no optional color panels behind the black one — but the black matches the Hotpoint stove and my wine fridge. So now the hunt for a late 70s refrigerator begins. I really wanted Avocado Green or Harvest Gold but when I found the brand new Almond stove, I had to follow the color theme/scheme! |

That's great Todd.
I was wondering about the almond panel as well, but if you find a harvest gold or avocado frig..... you might chose to have appliances in each color. Some variety? Besides, making dishwasher panel with some sheet metal, spray primer, and spray paint is easy. What ever color you need.
I had a KDS-17 which looked the same but didn't have the end button for the energy-saver dry AND more importantly the second level wash arm which yours has so you got the best IMO.
Be patient, you'll find the perfect refrigerator.
Here's wishing you a new year filled with abundant retro appliance treasures.
