Hi Barry, yes I have two dishwashers installed in my kitchen, one of them is a '56 Frigidiare. You are correct, you do have to wash large pots in the upper rack, but small pots and frying pans go on their side in the lower rack. I never pre-rinse anything, but I do soak anything that has baked on food as a vintage dishwasher won't be able to get baked on food completely clean. I also have a '64 KitchenAid KD-15 Dishwasher installed in my Kitchen. The KitchenAid does a slightly better job with the pots and pans, but the Frigidaire does a much better job with glasses and mugs, especially if they are full of fruit smoothie residue. So I usually get to run two dishwashers in the evening the KA for the pots and pans and the Frigidaire for the dishes, silverware, glasses and coffee pots. Here are a few pictures that I took a while back of the '56... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Unimatic1140's LINK |

Hi Barry, It says in your profile that you have a Tappan "Reversa-Jet" dishwasher. Is this the "paddle-wheel" version? Please describe this wash action to us as I am unfamiliar with it. --Austin |

I also forgot to mention that I have the Tech-Talk for the 1958 Frigidaire Dishwashers if anybody needs it scanned...but I'm probably not the only one who has it... |

That basket looked like it was on the "cutting edge" for anybody who dared to reach for the dishes first :-) |
