Hello Lily, or is it Star, or maybe Dust? LOL Let me be the first to welcome you to AW.org!
I'm pleased you've decided (for now) not to take it out. I've never heard of that brand and am just curious about it. Does the rack slide in and out or swing/pivot with the door? Can you post more photos (inside and out) and the dimentions of it please?
Thanks much! Kevin |

Have you tried it out? Sometimes people aren't that knowledgeable or have lost the use and care guides to their appliance and have no clue on how to use or operate it.They get discuraged and decide not to use it.I'd make sure there was power (gas and electric)and water comming in and turn it on.Great product!

Welcome to AWO! You have one of the coolest dishwashers even a 'small potatoes' collector like myself would truly appreciate! I don't know a lot about these particular machines, but I have been very pleasantly surprised by machines which I was told 'no longer work' but came back to life with just a little tinkering!!
You'll find there are very knowledgeable people here and they'll be eager to help, I am sure. |

Below is a link to the thread (33396) that contains a link to the video.
LSD, welcome to the board. You have come to as right a place as you're going to find for help with your unusual machine.
I recently moved further up SR17 from you but before that lived in the Los Gatos area for almost 20 years.

It looks to be decent inside , maybe just a minor repair will get it going. I bet your mobile home is pretty cool looking too! |

Welcome Lilystardust, Thanks for sharing with us about your Ling Temco dishwasher. This certainly is one of the more unique dishwashers to have been produced. Please keep us apprised of your progress and good luck getting it running again. I know from personal experience that 50 to 60 year old dishwashers can be brought back to life.

. . . the James dishwasher. The racks and the way the water flows. I wonder if they are related. Great find. Get it going again. Welcome to a great website with a lot of nice members who have a wealth of knowledge about older appliances. Jerry Gay |

This company also made one of the first-ever microwave ovens! The company was known for it's aircraft components, if I am not mistaken. Jason |
