Great find, Peter The maple leaf is an obvious modification, to use a polite word, but yes that is the dial. The rip off is that when you use the normal cycle, you don't get to dial very far, only a local call. | ||

Love the maple leaf! I have never seen a rotary dial on an appliance before. Rather strange! | ||

With the maple leaf, this could be a Canadian dishwasher. | ||

 Ah, but if it was a Canadian model, it would've been branded Inglis....
The wash arm and rack configuration look very much like the 61 WP top-loader I have - definitely a big change when Whirlpool built their own dishwasher instead of rebadging a D&M machine!
I remember that my father had a 1959 BH&G 'Kitchen Ideas' book and it featured a 'telephone dial' Whirlpool dishwasher that used gas to heat water and dry dishes! Has anyone else ever heard of that variation?? | ||

Post# 558206, Reply# 11 11/20/2011 at 23:59 by toploadloya Very interesting! The Canadian version of Whirlpool is Inglis, and this would be the reason for the maple leaf insignia. I never saw those "telephone dials" anywhere before. | ||

The maple leaf is probably more in support of Toronto's team than anything else. It is not an Inglis symbol. | ||

I actually knew a family who had one!
Back in 1977 I dated a girl I met at college. She lived 10 minutes away in the Milford Mill area of Northwest Baltimore County. I remember seeing that telephone dial dishwasher. As far as I knew it was alive and well (working) when we dated back in 1977. Flash forward several years later and I read a 1959 Consumer Reports review on dishwashers and CU raved about the Whirlpool. Claiming it was the most modern dishwasher available at the time. Many feel that Whirlpool telephone dial dishwasher was the beginning of the "modern dishwasher." It even beat the venerable Kitchenaid back in 1959! Quite interesting. Talk about 1950's jet age technology.
