Model WD-902, saw it on Craigslist a couple of weeks ago, went and had a look, and bought it. This is almost the same model DW my mother had, although this one is newer.
Can someone give me a year please?

one more tonight

Panel detail... Mom had one of these for 20+ years, it was an awesome dishwasher!
Its filthy, it came from a house that was being gutted and remodeled. When I went to look at it, it was hooked up and running. It sounded good and was quiet.
I am so excited to have this, now to get it scrubbed up and clean!

Hi Jeff~

Great find!...better not let AndrewinOrlando see that one. he may just have to come to Chicago with me in tow to steal it, (LOL)..

Hope you and Michael are well.

Ohhh, Rapid Advance!

1988 - one step down from the top of the line that was all electronic.

How does the inside look? The outer panels should be mocha brown/snow white and almond/black so you have lots of options for your kitchen.

Now you need the matching batch-feed disposer ;-)
 
Thanks guys

Shane and Andrew, Michael and I are going to be in FLA in February, you both better have some free time for us! I don't know that the DW will fit thru baggage, and its damn heavy!

I have more pics to post, just got late last night. The inside is SPOTLESS, and there is no rust on the racks. The outside is the worst. There is mouse p**p all over it, and it needs a good wipe down and polishing.
Thankfully I did get to see it running when I looked at it, it sounds fine, which is good. I also did the uninstall yesterday, so I have all the screws and such for it as well. It was tricky pulling it out of its cabinet, it had kinda been walled in by a ceramic tile floor!

Matching batch feed disposer Greg? Are you saying you know where there are some original Maytag Disposers are?
 
Jeff, that is a great find!! Now pray-tell what are you going to do with it. I am sure you would hate to give up your beautiful KDA...
 
Hey Jeff,

Great find!!!
I have the same question as Terry, what are you going to do with the Maytag?? I can't believe you'd replace your KDA, but if you are that moved, I want first dibs on the it. Even though I'm between houses, I'd store it, definitely.

I expect you might want to save the Maytag for a potential dual dishwasher kitchen opportunity, right??

Whatever, a great find and have fun diving into your cleanup on the Maytag.

It is a great fine

Thanks Terry and Pat!
I don't know yet what I will be doing with it, for now its in my parent's garage so I can clean it up some.
Here's the pics of the insides:

Maytag!

Hi Jeff,
Does the Power Boost option boost the water temperature to 140 or just stay on to maintain the heat? I remember a friend had a Maytag from about 81 or 82 and was a more basic model and had no water heating. It was a good DW but you had to have the water real hot for it to work good. Thats why I liked the KitchenAids better at that time because they always gave a hot wash. I was just wondering if this Power Boost option was like sure temp?
Real cool machine.

Power Boost

Hey Pete,
I think that must be what thats for, my mom had an older version of this DW from 1982, and hers had a "sani-scrub" button which this machine does not have.
I can remember my mom always running water at the sink before firing up the DW, just to make sure there was hot water for the machine
 
Power Boost

Yes the sani scrub was a seperate cycle that heated the water but to no specific temperature. Was the one your mom had a quit machine? The one my friend had was really noisy. I was wondering if the TOL was quiter?
Thanks,
Peter
 
The Maytag I just got rid of had both the sani scrub and temp. boost buttons. You had to select either normal or sani scrub. When sani was selected the heating element was on continuously during the wash and rinse cycles. When normal was selected the element was off. If Temp. boost was selected, then the water was heated to a certain temp. (I can't remember what it was) during the main wash. While the water was being heated the ON indicator light would be off, and the cycle timer would delay until the water had reached the correct temperature. There are pics of my Maytag in one of the other threads. It had 5 buttons - Normal or Sani, Temp Boost, heated dry, energy saver. in addition to the timer dial.

loud Maytag

Sorry Pete, I missed your question earlier. Mom's '82 Maytag was not overly loud, in my memory the most prominent sound was the slosh of the water inside as it was going. I suppose it would be about the same as my KDS17A, although on it I hear more motor sound than water.
The '82 Maytag was my first experience with a dishwasher, and set the standard by which I have judged all others since
