hi i have a few question about my dishwasher , if any one can help!
I collect vintage appliances and like to use them as daily appliances and in my vintage styled kitchen they look the part.
I ideally would like an early top loading dishwasher like an original Kenwood from the 1960’s if anyone knows where one can be got! but in the mean time i have a 1975 ish (guessing year) thorn bendix super 12 dishwasher model number 7864 serial A-5-15 000780 (made in France)
This machine has developed a slightly metalic squeaking tinkling noise from the wash motor during the hot parts of the wash and rinse and i was wondering if this means the impellor seal is failing and the main wash bearing may be starting to go. This machine has a very high pressure wash pump with only one outlet that goes to lower wash arm with upper wash arm being fed from the centre of the lower one. Can i get a seal or bearing kit or anyone got good secondhand motor as would like to continue to use it or if anyone has anything more suited to 50’60’s let me know!
