Nice stove & quite rare given the popularity of Westinghouse ranges being way behind that of GE, Frigidaire, Roper, Tappan, Sears & Whirlpool...
It looks like it has 3 six-inch units & only 1 eight-inch, though... Does it have the "pan stirrer", mounted under the hood below the upper oven too? Well, forget the dishwasher, then... My aunt had a newer Westinghouse 1-knob one like that in her apartment, so I pretty much know it's one you'd mostly use just for "dishes", then & run when the noise wouldn't be bother-some... -- Dave | ||

Cool WH Range This was a great performing range, the top oven is NOT a MW oven, and this range dose not have the magnetically driven pan stirrer under the RF element. I have a 1966 WH range with this feature and it is very cool.
WH ranges around here were far more popular and much better than Tappan electric, Roper Electric Whirlpool and probably even Sears electric ranges.
The Westinghouse designed and built DW was their last attempt to compete with GEs cheap DWs for the builder market. This WH DW hit a new low for crummy low cost construction almost making D&M DWs look well made LOL. This design did not last long and was modified heavilly when White Industries took control of WH in the mid 1970s, but even after WIs got it it still was never a good DW. I recently got hold of a WH DW like the one in the picture that was almost unused for the museum, someday people can come and see it run, you would be amazed at the short cuts they took and corners that they cut in building this machine. | ||
