This unit has the solid state LCD display timer. Anyone know if it can be switched to a different timer, or know of anyone with parts lying around? | ||

Why the switch-a-roo? Why do you want to switch it to a manual style? What is wrong with the machine? Maybe it is something none too serious. Let us know so we can help you. John L will probably be your best shot on this one. | ||

Electronically controlled KDI-21 If you are having control problems with this DW you are probably done unless you can find someone to repair the EC, I remember well when these came out and lots of them did not last long without expensive repairs.
It is possible to switch to a mechanically controlled timer, but you will need a donor KA DW from the 21 series to transfer most of the control panel from as well as the complete wiring harness, it a bit of work but if you are skilled working on major household appliances and such it is doable.
I would only consider switching out the controls if your machine is in excellent early used condition, other wise it will be easier to switch out the entire DW.
