 Looks like a fairly BOL model - it also looks like it has the troublesome electric latching system seen on Tappan dishwashers of this era. Seller sounds as if a reasonable offer will be accepted.

Definitely not a GE clone from this era, but I don't think it was a D&M design either. Tappan had some pretty far-out designs like the roller-washer-splasher, then the wash arm on a spring that would wind up as the arm rotated, then would either a: break or b: unwind and spray in the reverse direction. I believe the former happened more often than the latter.... LOL | ||

not a clone This one one of those weird Tappan designed units with the pop-up tower and plastisol tubs. After this, Tappan sourced their dishwashers from Whirlpool, GE and WCI. I don't think I've ever seen a D&M based Tappan DW | ||

I stand corrected..... You are right, I found a full line Tappan catalog from 1982 and sure enough a D&M designed DW. They also sourced later models that were copies of the Frigidaire models prior to the introduction of the tall-tubs

Just one knob to turn your Stardust Washing Dreams ....
Turning and turning
The washer goes on. We can't change it, my friend. Let us go washing all through the days, Together to the end, to the end. Les bicyclettes de Belsize Turn your magical knob Round and around, Looking at all we found. Carry us through the soap, Les bicyclettes de Belsize. Spinning and spinning, The dishes I know, Rolling on through my head. Let us enjoy them, before they break Come the dawn, they all are clean Yes, they're…D&M clean... (ok, shoot me, I couldn't resist borrowing Englebert's song)

When we were building custom homes in the late 70's the standard appliance pak included TOL Tappan appliances. The DW were WP and really good (stove not so much). But along about '79 the DW switched rebadged DM. Lots of complaints, mainly because buyer were smart enough to know the difference. | ||

D & M was actually the name of a company - Design & Manufacturing. I believe they spun out from Avco, aka American Kitchens; the American Kitchens cabinets had their own brand dishwasher which was made by D&M. D&M went on to produce machines for brands such as Whirlpool (only for 1 year, 1957), Admiral, Chambers, Kelvinator, Roper, and most notably, Kenmore (until the mid-70s). The idea was to add a dishwasher to complete an appliance manufacturer's line-up.
Hope this helps! | ||
