Before the story is told, ALL credit for acquiring this wonderful machine goes to the most gracious and thoughtful all of our own G Y R A F O A M (Steven)! Thank You!
14 years and 4 months ago was the first time seeing this awesome machine in Atlanta, GA. (Thread #8310 from 09/30/2006 tells it's original story)
Most do not know, I retired 3 years ago this month and moved to Winchester, VA. Knowing that Steven lived in Roanoke, VA I decided to reconnect and we did. Many phone calls about the not being happy with my new kitchen appliances that were in this new home when I purchased it. One evening while on the phone, he said "well you have one here if you want to come get it that works great". So, for Thanksgiving 2020 Steven invited me to Roanoke. I accepted. We had an awesome time, worked on machines with Tyler, Steven, and myself. Along with several wash-ins. His collection is awesome as well.
Next, we were wondering around, and he said "there is your dishwasher". I almost fainted. It was the Maytag WU600 that he had in Atlanta, GA. Of course I wasn't going to say NO.
When it arrived home with me, looking at the stainless steel and black in the whole kitchen, my thought was have the panels painted by a professional high gloss black. And so be it. It's beautiful. Black and Maytag Gold are a marriage. Since the machine had not run in over 12 years, it got a refurbish job. The only thing that truly needed to be replaced was the door gasket. Was fortunate to find a new one on ebay. UGH, you don't want to change that very often. What a job. Two days! Anyway, as of yesterday 01/26/2021, the really pretty and expensive TOL LG now has a real nice home in the trash. Guess who took her place? He did. And let me tell you, is he ever handsome and performs in anyway commanded. Here are a few pictures.
