Grandma passed back in January and we've started clearing out her house. I was just thinking the other day she has an older kitchenaid dishwasher, Some models of them seem to receive very high praise and it got me wondering. Would it be worthwhile to disconnect it and try to sell it? I don't have any additional details quite yet but I can look at it again get some pictures and a model number this coming weekend. I just can't help but think would a new owner just replace it cause it's old? Is it one of those "hurricane in a box" style ones.

I love my 1993 Superba. I have another one out in the garage for parts if anything should ever happened to this one. As much as I love to cook and bake, and as many dinner parties as a throw, I couldn’t be without it, or my Hobart N–50 mixer from 1952.

Dishwashers are not my forte so i'm really not sure where to find a model tag on it. I'm just like....if this is as good as i've heard it would be a shame to see it get tossed simply for being old

Maybe you can take it to the Shoppers Square on automaticwasher.org and the members over there can give you a better idea of how old it is or what it's worth.

Devin,
I can't say that I know anything about dishwashers. Except that, like others have said, several folks on Automaticwasher sure do speak highly of the older Kitchen-Aid machines. That linoleum gives me feels too! Almost identical to what my parents put in the kitchen where I grew up. It was installed in 1968. And, after all those years of reasonably heavy traffic, it still doesn't look horrible. Granted, it doesn't quite take a shine like it used to. But, considering I'm approximately the same age as it is, I'd have to say it's aged better than I have! Barry |

As someone who has worked for the Whirlpool/KitchenAid Corporation and who has a house full of their products. Yes it would still be a good model and I think you would be extremely happy with it. From the pictures I see that the racks are in rough shape. I'm not sure if you can get new racks or not. I think you can. Most dish washers are pretty universal when it comes to interior size.
Here is the KitchenAid Customer Service Line 800-422-1230. They should be able to help to try and find the racks if you want them. |
