I replaced my old stainless steel dishwasher and would hate to dump it. Thought
about repurposing it for something useful like a cooler or maybe a potting soil container but would love to hear about other inspirational DYI's. Thank you icon

    i've seen people use them to bring stuff up to temperture for canning instead of boiling water pots and handling hot jars ,every thing is racked so all you do is tighten lid rings when cool

    If it is a built in model , box it in with wood and use it as a cabinet. I just left my old one as is because I don't have enough dishes to warrant firing up a whole dishwasher.

    I'm not sure about the entire dishwasher, but when I replaced mine i removed the "drawers and use them as storage under my bed,since they have rollers. I use the silverware basket under my sink to organize my scrubbers and brushes.
