They sold a lot of these, they sold particularly well to owners of GE dishwashers that had rusted out that had the cheap plastsol interiors The stainless steel looking interior looked really good too. People who had had a dishwasher rust out in less than 10 years. Sad thing was the tank in this waist king was just nickel plated steel, and they would rust out, particularly in the sump areas. The inner door panel was actually stainless steel.
Noise wasn’t the worst problem with these machines. It was usually hard to keep the pumps running in them and they leaked from numerous points and had mediocre washing performance at best so there wasn’t much to recommend it. We repaired hundreds and we pulled more out for scrap metal when installing new whirlpools and KitchenAid These were also sold under the Thermidor name as Thermidor owned waste king.
Alan, I've probably posted this before, but ours was a rendition of a 910 or 911 (before SS tubs) and was installed April 3rd or 4th 1968. It had a white faced timer dial and 5 white square suttons. It was in service until sometime in Spring to Fall 1974 with model under Lady Kenmore. the Roto Rack was replaced with the GSD1200 Potscrubber sometime in 1987 and that was in the house when my parents sold it early summer 2002. And remember we brought the original Waste King from our old house to the new house September 1961.
Bob, I believe this is the model you're referring to along with the cycle sequences. The difference between the 810 & 910 was the tub. The 810 was plastisol and the 910 was stainless. Do you remeber which model series your home had (A or B)?
I mean, read the information you provided above and we had b for sure because it had the long thermostatic.Hold heat for the final mints.I didn't realize it went to a hundred and seventy
