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

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).


Could it be that you don't want someone to suffer the injuries that
would result in your being sued? You didn't even think of that, did
you?

I didn't learn much in my year in law school, but one of the first
things I learned was that if it weren't for the fear of getting sued,
a lot of people would show no thought for anyone but themselves.

My first thoughts
are to take it to the nearest appliance junk place and get rid of it.


Good. Do that.

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.


You've been paid for it already.

If anyone should get a few bucks out it, it should be the burn unit at
a hospital.

Just curious,
