Default G.E. Dishwasher Recall - What to do with Old Dishwasher


"Greg Wilkerson" wrote in message

Hello all,

I just finished installing my new dishwasher. The old one was subject
to the rinse agent/wire corrosion/short recall. I have the recall
paperwork filled out and anxiously await my rebate check. What is
everyone doing with their old dishwashers? There's really nothing
wrong with it (at least nothing apparent). I figured if I could get
$100 or so out of it, all the better. I suppose the worst that could
happen would be I could get sued (don't want that). My first thoughts
are to take it to the nearest appliance junk place and get rid of it.
The label has been removed (in accordance with the rebate conditions).

I hate to just trash the thing if I can get a few bucks out of it.

Look at the old and new side by side, and see if any of the parts that
usually get broken are the same. Not the fire-starting parts, but the knobs,
baskets, hinge parts, etc. Anything that may prove useful as spare parts,
remove and stash somewhere. Trash the rest. If it is a possible fire hazard,
do NOT pass it on to anyone.
