I think it's the one in the ad with the Afghan hound. And I think that would make it an SD400B from 1966. The good news is that it's the TOL, has a cool control panel and the Silver Shower feature. The bad news is, this is one of the models that did a really bad job of cleaning the dishes. Had the fancy rack flange that caught lots of food bits.

I wonder why it cleaned poorly? After all, it has Exclusive Four-Level Action. Maybe the Flushaway Drain didn't do a good job of filtering out the food bits? At least it looks glam, and that's important. |

It seemed to be a poorly designed water distribution and cupeled with a some what weak pump and no filter caused an overall poor performance unless you rinsed most food off the dishes. It was amazing in 1967 when GE came out with the new pump and motor and wash arm design that we all laughed at but the darn thing actually cleaned much better.

The GE dishwasher we had in our home growing up had the Celery colored tub. I thought it was the coolest color. Much better than the boring white we see on today's non stainless models. It was a late 70's model, a bit noisy, but cleaned very well. |

I acgree, I actually found the celery and avocado rack and interior color hues quite refreshing and calming. I was so tired of blue everything that had tub and or rack colors that were shades of blue--KitchenAid, Waste King, Kenmore, I think even Maytag. I actually like the modern varying grey hues now too.

about the accuracy of this; I had heard that the light green plastisol coated tub & door liner coordinated with the color of Cascade powder detergent. |
