 Between the door gasket and the lower rack tines pointing in all directions, combined with the warpage, the machine may have seen a lot of use.
Having said that, the control panel styling is my favorite. I'd still not be willing to pay $100 for it, particularly since it's a 23 series and not a 22, but the opinion of some members here is that the 23's Power Module pump is superior to Hobart's design.
Steve, I scoffed at the "please wait" light the first time I saw one, but now understand the logic behind it. It does take the cancellation process a while to complete and I've had to stop myself from opening the tub door too soon on my ISE Classic Supreme. | ||

Please Wait Light Be-live it or not before they added this light we used to go out on service calls because people could not get their KDS21s and KUS22s to start because they had hit the cancel-drain button and were too impatient to wait the almost two minutes that it took to run through the CD sequence which blocked the machine from starting the cycle they were trying to start. | ||

Please Wait Light
I suppose if one were hard of hearing it might be nice, but couldn't one hear the timer advancing. One could on the Hobart machines. I assume these machines had electro-mechanical timers. This was always a no brainer for us. Even when we first got it we knew not to mess with it until all the lights were out and sounds had stopped. How about 'Dummies Wait'?

Rapid timer advancing can be heard, yes. But as I recall on my KUDS22, there was either a) a final timer increment in which the drying fan ran for one minute (with heat off), or b) a final one-minute timer increment during which there was no machine action until it advanced once more and shut off completely ... and then when the door latch was raised the rapid-advance motor triggered again to set the timer to the beginning of the entire program for the next start when a cycle button was pressed. A consumer could assume the cancel process was finished and raise the handle during the "dwell" increment, thus interrupting the cancel process and not getting an immediate start for the next cycle ... which could then be interpreted as a malfunction. Pressing a button would have resumed the timer advancement, with another raise of the latch required for the to-start reset, and another button press to start again ... but impatience and misunderstanding of the machine's operation likely resulted in service calls. | ||

The post directly above perfectly captures the logic behind the "Please Wait" light.
The wait for the electromechanical RAT to do its thing can seem much longer than it actually is, and there are perceived long periods where there are no clicking sounds. Considering how many people don't read operating instructions or perhaps don't remember the portion dealing with the cancel function, it's easy to understand that service calls could ensue.
Not everyone has the mechanical inclinations to understand how the RAT works. Somehow they don't apply the same logic to the cancel operation as they do when they've stopped a cycle to add a forgotten item. Once the door is opened, you need to push the cycle button again to resume after the door has been closed and latched (also true on MAT models). The same applies to the cancel function but it's not exactly intuitive to push the cancel button again to tell the machine to continue the process of not doing something. Even the "Please Wait" light won't help if the door is unlatched too soon, but the logic behind it was to prevent the door from being opened in the first place.
Almost exclusively, the cancel button on my ISE Classic Supreme gets used when a toddler has played with the panel or someone has leaned against it. I'm getting into the practice of leaving the door unlatched to avoid this issue. With the KA latch design, the handle sticks out when lifted, and as a result when I had a KA I always latched the door. With the side-to-side latching action of the ISE, the look is much more discreet when the door is not latched. $250K well-spent by Emerson? I'm beginning to think so!
