When we moved into our home in ‘94 the DW was a BOL Whirlpool that the sellers bought in ‘91 when they moved into our unit. It was really a very good DW. It had an Almond front panel with a black control panel and bottom panel under the door. I didn’t realize until we’d been here for a while that the panels were changeable when I was cleaning the sides of the door. Underneath the Almond panel, separated by sheets of cardboard were both a black and also a white panel. Once I learned about this I would change them out just for the hell of it.
The only reason I got rid of this DW in 2000 was because the racks were rusting. Also it was pretty loud. But as DW’s go, if was very fast, completing a load in under an hour and cleaned better that the more expensive Maytag MOL that I replaced it with. And the Maytag’s racks began to rust as soon as it was out of warranty and it was just as loud as the WP that it replaced.
I think that this DW was a great find Robert. Sometimes simple is much better. Most people use only the basic cycle anyway. Plus with this DW you can set it to only rinse the dishes if you want, just by turning the dial.
