 I understand your situation. Although KitchenAid appliances tend to have a timeless look, the simulated wood and general time-worn appearance of your machine provide just cause for an update. Thanks for coming here before letting it go to the scrap heap.
I think the most desirable things from your machine are the stainless steel door and access panels. Someone may want the machine just for those, but since it's in proper working order there are likely a number of other parts worth salvaging.
Be advised that the new machine will take much longer to process a load of dishes. It will be quiet compared to your old machine, though. Relatively silent!
If you can, provide a deadline for picking up the machine, and where it's located. | ||

KitchenAid KDS 17 a dishwasher
Your dishwasher was made, and either 1974 or five, it was a very good machine but I can’t blame you for wanting to replace it after this long.
Your new one will use 1/4 of the water in less than half the electricity to get the job done plus hold a lot more dishes. The front panels may not be stainless steel. They may just be brushed chrome. All of the rust spots may be able to be polished off of them to some degree at this time KitchenAid made both stainless panel and brushed chrome panels. If a magnet sticks to it it’s the cheaper brushed chrome ones. John. | ||
