I’m hoping I may guess that it belongs in this section is correct, but I honestly am not sure on the age of these. Our WP direct drive is finally wearing out, and I really want a Speed Queen set instead, but I’m not sure if this model is a good one to get, or what to check first when looking at...

Thinking about getting this set tomorrow. I assume they're new enough to be in this section, but am not much of an Asko expert. I've used similar sets before and was impressed with them, and it was this, a Speed Queen stacked set, or a Bosch or Miele. Whatever came first. I'll be replacing a...

I’ve known Vita-Mix blenders are supposed to be amazing for a long time, but either wasn't finding any or bothering to hunt for one. I decided more recently that I was really found wanting pf a more vintage one. A good friend out in MO managed to get one before I could find mine, but one came my...

Found something I’d been looking for for a bit, and at a great price too! And then the seller shipped it... P.S. It seems I’m in need of a Kitchenaid or Viking magnetic disposer stopper. Anyone have one they’ll sell for less than the $100+ it seems some parts places want????

Well, I ended up spending entirely too much money on laundry detergent, but that’s what happens when A: you buy the real commercial stuff by the bucket full, and B: you can’t decide on liquid or powder, so you get one of each... What I got myself was Liquid Laundersol, 5 gallons, and HTD heavy...

Well, I was forced to take out the Thermador and put the not yet vintage PowerClean back in the kitchen... I’m not blaming this one on the Thermador itself, as I really think this is just an age related failure, but what’s happening is the timer will hang up at one of I think two different...

So finally doing a before and after. Here’s the before. Highlighting some of the dirtiest items, and showing what’s been passing for a full dishwasher. The square pans had meatloaf baked in them. Sadly some Lilly livered dish rinser got to the gravy pan... I used two scoops of the green stuff in...

Well, firstly despite looking at the model plate and seeing both the model and the date code, I called it a THD4600, when it is actually a 4800... And now onto things that don’t make me feel like a moron... LOL The first thing I’ve noticed is that it is loud, but it does wash quite well, I’ve...

Well I got the motor and pump, unfortunately I was unable to remove the steam element from my pump housing, so I was forced to use my pump, which isn't as nice looking. There was some residue on top of the motor, so I decided it was for the best to use the new impelled and seal kit I had. Here...

Hook up the Thermador and try it out, or as I tend to say: Dip a titty in the water and see what we got workin', when I get home after work? This will be the first time I hook up and run a dishwasher that is known to need work, and I don't want to do it wrong and risk making anything worse.

Is, finally, the WK Thermador dishwasher! So far I’ve been told it squeals, leaks, and needs a thermostat. I’ll post pictures upon arrival, and desperate pleas for help once I’ve spent some time checking it over and such in the coming weeks!

Well, the other day I decided to upgrade the plumbing under the kitchen sink from the crappy 1 1/4 inch stuff with those awful cheap compression fittings to 1 1/2 inch glued ABS. I also decided it was time to put in both of my vintage Waste Kings. I have an air switch on the Thermador, still...

Well here’s another one! Not the biggest fan of this mounting bracket, but I absolutely love this disposal, it’s such a weird vintage one! It runs quietly and disposes well! Since YouTube videos still won’t embed...

Well, I don't know if I showed the mounting situation before, but I initially had this Thermador WK disposal mounted with a newer Anaheim "EZ mount", the plastic one, as it was the only mount that fit which I also had 'around da house'. It ran perfectly smooth and normal... But then the...

I'm nearly certain this is a genuine Waste King? Should I have had more reservations in buying it? If it is what I think it is, and the grind ring isn't worn smooth, this should be a very good disposal yes?

I found my high speed GE, and now I want to find something a bit more beastly and slow turning. The main thing I'm after is being able to dispose of any kind of bones, without the lightest concern about damaging the machine. Also prefer something on the quiet side, as I already am receiving...

I know it’s a “real Disposall” being made in Louisville KY, so it is definitely of the type I’m after, but I wanted to know if this is the 8,000 RPM. Unfortunately the Anaheim Waste Maid has an accident that led to a broken hammer, going to see if I can warranty it out, but in the meantime I’ve...

So I grabbed a very cheap Asko for my grandma, since her Maytag has rusty rack disease. It’s in very good condition but missing some things. It should come out quite nice when it’s done, it works quite well! More to come as I get all the parts it’s missing!

So my Grandma’s Maytag needs both an upper and lower rack as the times are breaking off and everything is all rusty. Anyone have a spare set they’re willing to sell reasonably? Am I better off helping them on the new machine front? It seems a good machine, and other than the rotting racks this...

So a friend out in MO is supposed to be getting a steam cycle Thermador from another friend, but it’s currently in storage with yet another mutual friend of ours, complicated, yes? But anyway, the friend in need of a good dishwasher, I’m going to give him a Whirlpool Power clean, or maybe a...
