 The 18 series is considered to be the best KitchenAid ever produced, so you got a good one. What sort of installation problems is your husband dealing with? It's a fairly simple job. The first thing I would suggest is checking to make sure the two L-shaped stabilizing tabs are present at the top of the tub. The flat tops of these tabs get screwed into the underside of the countertop to keep the machine from tipping forward when the door is down.
Other than adjusting the feet to level the machine and the drain hose connections, there's not much to it. This assumes there's a standard 3-prong cord to plug the machine in as opposed to hard wiring into a junction box, but even that is an easy thing to correct.
Without the lower panel, this machine will make quite a bit of noise but it will do a good job. In case you want to confirm the model number, it's on the sliver strip visible on the left front side of the tub when the door is open. | ||

 Andrea, the model/serial tag is indicated by the red arrow I added to your pic. Serial numbers are coded for the date of production. Check the tag and cite it in a reply, someone can tell you the date for a more accurate age.

Thank you! Thanks so much for the identification tips. I believe my husband is having trouble finding a hose that connects properly, but I may be mistaken. We will try connecting her again after the parts we ordered come in. Hoping I can find a panel if I keep my eyes open. | ||
