My Whirlpool SHU 5001 dishwasher --Now fully functional!

[mattl]

Want to post a BIG thanks to Alan --bigalsf-- for sending me a timer for my classic SHU 5001 dishwasher.  I really appreciate it.  Hope I can return the favor someday to someone here.

 

Anyway here are a few pictures of the now fully functional unit, overall it's in VERY good shape except for one issue I need to deal with.

One issue need a bit of work thought...

 

I seem to recall someone posted a product to repair rusted porcelain on steel, have to look it up.

(Note - I was an idiot when I got this machine, I was cleaning it up with some Windex and it took off most of the Lettering...)

Tub/Rust Fix

Did you use JB Weld ?

I haven't done anything to the tub yet.  I recall a thread a few weeks back on the subject, don't recall the product.  Was it JB Weld?

 

I'll have to check that out.
