that is the Whirlpool equivalent in a Kenmore UltraWash...roughly 1988/89....
there is nothing you can throw at that machine that it can't handle....guaranteed!... no Pre-rinsing needed EVER!....scrape off the big stuff, and toss it in... the offer back then from Sears was that it could handle complete removal of a frosted chocolate cake, or the machine was FREE..... can't tell you how many cakes I baked, only to open the door at the end, and find a clean machine... I still have mine bought new in 1988....and found a spare on CL...just in case it ever dies...but doesn't look like it is going to happen any time soon my tips on the racks started to wear away....and bought one of those repair kits and capped each tine.....something I wish I did long ago, the rubber tips are so much better for care of the dishes...just something to consider.... adjustable tilting top rack.....just keep aware that the tower and top shower feed needs to be kept clear for water flow...my kids have a bad habit of placing a glass or bowl over top blocking it.... I also like this version for the porcelain interior tub.... check and clean the inlet valve screen before installing....very easy to work on if ever needed... probably one of the few machines that the motor/pump/ultrawash chamber can lift out from inside the machine.....remove a hose, a plug, 4 clips, and lift out! |

This is great news! Thank you both so much!! I'm going to get it today. Btw, seems like a waste of good cake so I'll probably not be performing that test but I'm glad to hear you already have. |
