Some people enjoy these, and there are worse machines out there. They're still assuredly worth posting. And remember, before the wash arms changed to stamped slots, they rocked the CR ratings for washing. Not sure if this one is old enough to sport the goats-eye wash arms that cleaned up a storm, but it's still a handsome machine. Plus it's not a wash tower... |

Thanks for all the great information Alan, you are truly one of the great DW minds.
Having worked on a few hundred WK-TD DWs they just never interested me to the point that I would ever install one in my home.
In addition to the problems that Alan listed we saw many problems with detergent dispensers [ they usually just let the detergent wash out ] even if they operated properly, broken door springs and worn out door hinges [ welded to the tank and not replaceable, oh well ] and Horrible pump and motor durability.
All that said the cleaning performance was never great, in fact IMEO NO DW ever gave great results that did not have a wash filter, this is why they needed THREE rinses and again no DW should ever need three rinses to get rid of the detergent laden wash water [ dishes are much easier to rinse than clothing].
Overall it is a real toss-up as to whether a D&M or a WK-TD is worse machine, in any event I am glad that we have excellent examples of both for the museum display. |
