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

Greg Wilkerson wrote:
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.

Just curious,

Greg Wilkerson


I wouldn't try to sell the old one to anyone as a dw. Its a
potentially dangerous
and defective product that has been known to cause house fires.

However I'd strip it of any potentially useful parts (knobs) trays, etc.

I would't expect to have to pay to have it hauled awaay. Scrap metal
prices around here being what they are, a local scrap yard might
pay 5 - 15 bucks for it as steel scrap.
