Hello,
Question 1: I have a KDS-57A that I am trying to attach a hose to. I tried to screw on a brass 3/8 inch female with a 3/8 barb onto the inlet valve and it was too large. I went back to the hardware store and exchanged it for the next size down which was 1/4 inch, and it was too small. I cannot figure out what size use. What am I doing wrong? Question 2: This machine was converted to built in and the wheels removed. What size wheels do I use. I know the front and the back were different. Thank you. | ||

Hopefully a solution
I purchased a dishwasher fill/drain attachment for the sink with the black hoses rather that the newer style.
I was able to get the 3/8 compression elbow off of the inlet valve and will attach a 3/8 male elbow with barb. After looking at dishwasher hookup kits that contain a 3/8 elbow, I noticed that the compression end is smaller that 3/8 and not exact. This was what was so confusing. I hope what I am doing will work and I didn't make a mistake. I am still looking for any suggestions for the casters. I don't want to use a furniture or appliance dolly. | ||

Mickey,
Thanks for being so kind. I have seen the underneath of a KDS-58 post here on the site. If you can perhaps give me any measurements of the caster size that would be most helpful. I just want to make sure she’s level. I know it had two wheels on the back and two decorative rollers on the front that were held on with a bracket of some kind. I was thinking of putting on side mount wheels on the front. | ||

Here is the wheel and measure of the 65 Whirlpool that I have thanks to you. It’s about an inch and 3/4.
