Located in the service enterance, probably going out for rubbish or perhaps to an appliance disposal service. Not out on the curb yet though. Took a quick peek, and as the bottom plate was missing, cannot say the model number. The handle is sort of a bow-tie that one turns counter-clock wise to open the door. Machine is all metal, even the strainer at the bottom. Did not see a heater, but then again didn't pull the racks out either (they are blue). On the front the machine says "KitchenAid by Hobart", and there is a teal blue button one the front. Cycle controls are located at the bottom (where the plate is missing), but can see the motor, pump, and such. Have no idea if the unit is working, and didn't ask. If anyone is interested can give the address, but would advise if the unit does go out to the curb, and anyone wishes the unit to act fast. The street people are like a plague of vultures and will pick apart any and all rubbish. There are even groups of Mexicans and African "immigrants" who drive around in trucks picking up every discarded appliance they spot. L. | ||

Didn't look too deep inside, but think the porcelian was in decent shape. Do ntt think the unit worked as there was still detergent powder in the metal detergent dispenser on the inside door. Machine is still behind the gate of the service area, probably will go out tomorrow for pick-up on Friday, unless it is being held for recycle day next week. L. | ||

Steve, was the booster-heater a separate tank or an add-on to the commercial machine? A 230v heating unit under the kitchen sink feeding the dishwasher would certainly put some *zing* in the performance of many domestic machines! It would massacre the enzymes in most detergents, but there are ways around that as well... | ||

Well things have gotten so bad, NYC recently passed a law that anyone caught hauling away rubbish put on the curb for recycling will be issued a substantial summons/fine. Apparently there are (and one has seen), persons with trucks that go around scooping up paper, metal, appliances and such that are put out, by the truck load. Have even seen trucks pull up in front of stores when they put out bales of boxes and such. NYC was getting ticked off as they saw these persons not merely taking "rubbish" but robbing the city's coffers of funds, as the city gets paid for the recycleable rubbish it collects and sells. Single persons going though rubbish (read the homeless and others), are not subject to these fines. Honestly am getting quite annoyed with these rubbish pickers. The noise they make several times a night sounds like a plauge of giant rats, and the mess equals what would be left by the same. Some of the nicer ones are careful about how they go about things, and alwasy tie up bags and do not leave a mess. Others throw contents everywhere as they dig though bags, and or bust apart things to get at the better bits. Sad thing is if the property owner is not out the next morning in time to clean up the mess, they get a ticket from the sanitation department for having litter in front of their property. | ||

Final Update-She's On The Curb
Waiting for appliance rubbish pick-up tomorrow. Was easy to spot, as one had only to follow the trail of leaking water! *LOL* Unit is laying down on it's front, so couldn't see if the racks were still there. On the bright side the motor was exposed and was rather clean looking. Nice shiny black, and VERY heavy/solid in appearance. Hope the unit will be broken down at the appliance rubbish plant, would be a shame if the motor or other parts worked and the unit was trashed in total. L. | ||

So did anyone snatch it up?
~The "freaks come out at night" (not you dear) No offense taken *LOL ROFL LMAO* In my 20's I MAY HAE BEEN THE PERSON YOUR MOTHER WARNED YOU ABOUT. Today I'm a nice gray-haired little suburbanite firmly esconsed (sp?) in my descent into trolldom. As a man ages he generally wants to be like Captain Kirk. Sitting in a comfortable chair with all the remotes lined up in front of a huge screen, except his toupee should be a little less obvious......... TICK TICK TICK TICK. Someone go get it! | ||
