Is this a D&M machine, and worth the $250 asking price? Looks to be in great shape cosmetically, and possibly mechanically as well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO polkanut's LINK on Wausau Craigslist |

By this time, they had removed almost everything that had, at one time, made this a great dishwasher. |

My Aunt had a Westinghouse dishwasher in Avocado back in the 70's. I seem to recall that it had a push/pull timer knob. Set the cycle and push the knob to start. My memory is a little fuzzy, though so I could be wrong. I do remember that it had a loud drain solenoid that would pull in with a SNAP. It reminded me of a Speed Queen solid tub machine switching cycles.

That's a real Westinghouse, but by this time, as Tom noted, they had given it:
- a crappy shaded-pole horizontal-mount motor that ran all during the dry to "fan-dry" the dishes, - racks with "glides" (rub-strips, but no wheels), - a simplified tower that interlocked with the lower wash-arm, - no particular filtration to speak of.
