Thought I'd start a new thread regarding my 1966 kitchenaid. While running a full cycle today with the panel off I noticed water leaking from the rinse dispenser area. My first thought was the cork gaskets. I also noticed the rinse dispenser did not appear to work. While taking it apart I ham-fisted the removal of the solenoid portion from the plastic container without regard to its mechanics and destroyed the rubber diaghram. It was probably on its way out as I noticed rust around the spring area. Is there anyone out there who has successfully refurbished this part to working condition?
When none of the parts are available. It is incredible that Hobart made dishwashers that lasted 60 years and some even longer than that!
I actually have one of those as well as a few of the later dispensers. As well as the parts to plug up the holes if you do not want to re-install the dispenser.
Comes to the Rescue!
