I have been holding on to this latest find for a few weeks now... PhilR helped me with this latest acquisition - it was close to his home and he has a truck (and a good eye for top-load dishwashers!!) so he was kind enough to pick this up for me, knock down the asking price and bring it to Montreal for me!
Now, despite not wanting to undertake too many projects this year and hubby's claims of being at the 'dishwasher saturation point', I still managed to squeeze this cute little top-loader into the garage!

I have a strong suspicion that the leak is coming from around the heater element mounting. Note the rust - it could just need some cleaning and some gasket reinforcment... Or it could be the pump; in which case, I'll be asking LOTS of questions.. LOL
However, I have to get the 58 Frigidaire back together, figure out how to free up the Youngstown Jet-Tower pump and repaint the Montgomery Wards Signature Westy clone... So much for not taking on too many projects, eh??

Congratulations Paul! John had a WP like that for a while or might still. The main disadvantage of the second wash arm is that it limits the height of stuff you can put in the lower rack, but overall, it is an advantage, just like two penes are to a Komodo dragon so that nothing blocks the action. | ||

Rear Controls That's a pretty cool dishwasher, I like the controls. Is this a WP made model or were the top-loaders D&M?
Having a helper is always a good thing, I spent a lot of time as a kid myself with my grandfather as he tinkered with appliances.
Everyone should have as much fun with their collections as you do Paul!

Leaks fixing themselves now??
On the weekend, when I wasn't fiddling around with the Frigidaire, I tried another water test with the Inglis Royal top-loader to locate where the leak was coming from, but I didn't see one... I tried three more tests and there was nothing obvious. What the ????
The only logical explanation I can come up with is that the machine had been used with the wrong kind of detergent (the detergent cups and tub had traces of a heavy blue powder) and that the water tests I have done have flushed it out... Now, if I can just convince hubby to let me bring it into the house for a full cycle test...

I declare this dishwasher has passed it's Maiden Wash test!
Now, there is still one glitch. The detergent cup cover is long gone, so I had to remember to add the detergent for the main wash. A minor pain, but I will be trying to find a replacement. If not, methinks some fiberglass resin compound will be used to build a 'new' cover.
