I found this Frigidare Gallery dishwasher.On the curb and I picked it up and brought it home.It works just fine its a LATE TOL W.C.I. Dishwasher.Is this worth to keep or should I just throw it in the dump?Its in good shape but I have never used a machine like this.It has a Vertical motor in it and Filter and compared to these new ones out there I can hear a torrent of water in it.Here is a few Pics anybody ever had one of these?

You can be sure...if it's Westinghouse LOL."If it ain't broke,don't fix it!" If you don't need it, sell it.

If it works, why throw it away?

That dishwasher moves quite a bit of water at 60 gallons per minute. I would keep it if its in good condition. If I remember right CU liked these machines.

Not a bad find!

My mom has a similar machine in Glendale Az and complained about the washing results. That is until I visited last summer and showed her the high temp option. She lacked the user guide which I printed off for her and that helped too.
The machine is far from the water heater and never filled with really hot water so once she took the higher heat option. it did a better job. Nearly like night and day.
It had a ring of residual grease under the door and door lip resulting from the low water temps so I cleaned it up and as far as I know she says it is still working fine. She doesn't mind the longer cycle if it means clean dishes.
She does wish she had one of her classic Kitchenaids as they were incredible machines!(KDS15,KDSS16,KDC21D,KDI-19 all made appearances at one time or another in her kitchen between 1965 and 1997)
