It's crunch time in Ogden... Either I move some appliances out or they go 'crunch'... We don't want to think about that, however!

 

I have not had this more modern Frigidaire for long and have only used it a few times.  And, full disclosure, I have been disappointed by its washing performance.  The two best results I've had with this dishwasher were a load of dishes that I was given as a gift and a load of dishes that got a 'power pre-wash' in the '62 Mobile Maid before I burst the fill hose on that dishwasher...  

 

It is a cool-looking machine and it would appear to be one of the very last portable top-loaders made by Frigidaire.  The avocado cabinet is a little rough, but the interior (racks, silverware basket, tub) are in excellent shape.  

 

The machine is at the house in Ogden, near the Quebec/Vermont border.  

 

Now, I think we can all guess why I'm looking for a new home for this one (hint: INGLIS.... LOL)

Do you mean the short wash and no filter didn't do an excellent job on dirty dishes?  Their heart was not in dishwashers like it was in laundry.

That's about the size of it Tom.  I found there was more shmutz sprayed onto glassware than was taken off - this coming from the owner of _how many_ impeller dishwashers! 

 

Maybe that '58 spin-tube isn't going to be a good fit for the kitchen in St-Lib....  LOL

I could get clean dishes out of a 1960 spin tube, but the water heater was set to one notch below "steam explosion" and I scraped the dishes, but did not pre rinse before loading. The family used to put all of the dishes in a sink of detergent and water and wash them before loading. They were amazed that it would actually wash dishes. For heavily soiled loads I opened the door and added detergent to make the first of the 4 rinses a second wash. It was one of those with the solenoid thump at the drain and the strainer lifted to help get rid of shmutz.
