My mother has an 8 year old Maytag Dishwasher, it is monochromatic white.I am not sure when in the 90's they started that, I know that when I bought the one for my mom it was 1998.This one is much more than that in my guestamation.
The last year this machine could have been manufactured would be 1994. Machines with the silver ends on the control panels were replaced with all black control panels in 1995. As long as the electronics hold up, it is a great dishwasher. Also one reason the racks are in such good shape is because they are nylon. The racks alone is worth the opening bid. Cleaning is excellent and the racks are so versatile too. Much better design than the new tall tub JUNK dishwashers they make today.
