It is a 1955 model. It just looks dirty. It had some plastic ice cube trays inside so maybe it did work. I made a deal and is coming home on Saturday. At least it will come home and get cleaned up, and possibly pee on the floor in my kitchen! | ||

Where does the little strainer thing go? | ||

Just like that. Nothing holds it down to the pump. These pics show the strainer on my 1963, yours must be a bit different as even my 1962 is... On my 1962, there's screw that holds the fine strainer to the larger one at the base. The fine strainer floats above the other one when the pump doesn't work but the suction from the pump holds it down when the dishwasher is washing. On this 1963, the shaft just holds the strainer in the correct position. | ||

Cool Early Frigidaire Dishwasher Hi Travis, great save, these early FD DWs were interesting machines, they were like nothing else which makes having one a must for any serious DW collector.
Frigidaire was probably the only DW manufacturer that had real porcelain enameled front panels on their early DWs., Yay.
The rust stains are a pretty common sight in these early machines if the DW had not been used in years. The main pump housing is cast iron and if the machine ever sat idle fora period of time with water standing in it the standing water would get very rusty. But usually this rust staining cleans up pretty easily. | ||

Travis What you're finding reminds me of what I would see frequently at work. I would see younger folks detailing construction (particularly as related to roofing and flashing), that would work fine the first time around, but would totally be a PITA the first time a re-roofing was required. The lesson being - think beyond the initial installation! It's not good enough to figure out how to accomplish the initial construction/installation, but if re-working in the future can reasonably expected, figure out how to accommodate that, too.

Yes, it's home I am sad to report though, that I mashed the trim plate on the front coming in my door.
See Chris, I told you I needed help with moving it. | ||

No Phil, it's the lightweight piece of aluminum that surrounds the handle. I am pretty upset, since it was way too much work to get it out. | ||

Phil,
Yes, in my opinion. I know that it will be difficult to reshape that soft aluminum. There are rolled edges on that panel. | ||
