It looks similar to my old 1981 but simpler and a little newer. It was free! It works. Was it worth picking up? It shows kudh230y1. Curious if it's post Hobart?

 The 23 in the model number would indicate a post-Hobart machine. It should have the Whirlpool power module system, which most here would agree is an improvement. It might be an unusual "builder's model" if it's not a Custom, as I'm pretty sure the Custom model number would be KUDC23.
It's a very capable dishwasher and can clean as well as other 23-series machines further up the model line.

 Probably a builder's unit. The "Energy Saver" buttons labeled as Wash and Dry are interesting ... the console touts "Automatic Water Heating" so can it be presumed that Energy Saver Wash disables that function? Whirlpool bought KA in 1986. Doctrine indicates that 21 series was produced 04/84 through 02/89, so 22 and later picked up progressive WP influences until Hobart parentage disappeared. I had a KUDS22 bought in January 1992. | ||

Seems to wash better than my 1981 Superba. I think due to the longer spray cycle... So far so good! You guys are experts in these things! | ||

Just found that the unit I used to own was a KDS19 and a good unit. I seem to prefer this so far however. Quieter and cleans better. | ||

This machine was on my local Facebook exchange. Very similar controls just different styling. No model provided but it looks like it has a power clean module so a 23 series as well. The buttons are energy saver wash, energy saver dry, option reset, and start. | ||
