KDS-15 DW It might work, what condition is the inside in?
The DW will run with cold water but it will not wash dishes worth a darn with cold water, Its needs with modern detergents at least 120F water and hotter up to 140F is better.
Take all the stored stuff out and close and latch the door and try running it through the rinse&hold cycle by pushing the left button and see what happens, stick around and see what happens, you might want to have a couple of old bath towels handy in case it leaks.
If that is successful fix your hot water supply problem and load the machine with at least some dirty dishes, fill both detergent cups at least 1/2 full close the cover and post Full Cycle and see haw it does.

 The buttons from left to right are: Rinse Hold - a short rinse of a partial load (such as breakfast or lunch dishware) to be run later on a Full Cycle after accumulating more dishes; intended to be run without detergent Utility Utensil - full wash and rinse with a shortened dry period to help avoid drying-on residual soil on pots and pans Full Cycle - full double wash and three rinses with dry Sani Cycle - same as Full Cycle but the final rinse is heated to 180°F | ||

Maintenance? Question for the pros. What, if any, maintenance is recommended for these vintage KD machines? I don't want to jinx my KDS-15, because it works great, but other than wiping it down after each use, is there any periodic maintenance needed to improve longevity? Ron | ||

This was without a doubt the best, most reliable dishwasher I ever owned. And I didn't pre rinse anything. | ||
