SCORE!!! Craigslist is awesome!

[hoover1060]

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!

On your new find!

Roger,

That was the first DW that started it for me. Mine was in the designer 'avocado green'.

It was an awesome machine.

Jeff,
That is a good score for sure. I loved the look of the all push button Maytags.

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.

John has a customer with both a KA and a Maytag dishwasher like this. She bought them because she said that each held certain things better than the other. So this and a KA would not be redundant.

 

[hoover1060]

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:

Boo Yah!

Greg is right - rapid advance is the best! This is a great addition Jeff, wonderful DW - you'll just love it.

Thanks Ben

I am anxious to get started cleaning it up!

 

[bobbins]

It is around between 1986 to 1988 (black button models). Then there was the direct drive version in the 90's
