Hey everyone, A while back we had a discussion of HE machines and a possible modern revisitation of an impeller machine due to their low water usage. I promised videos of the 1960 Frigidaire (D&M rebadge) machine, showing how important it is to have the bottom lack loaded perfectly, and with plates at that. Here you go! You decide :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO roto204's LINK |

i was wondering how high the water goes to or over the impellor as i have a machine with a timed fill which is dependant on water pressure etc, also the impellor is a bit chipped so water spray poor, see following vids to see what you think Richard CLICK HERE TO GO TO ricky5050's LINK |

Intersting difference between plates and no plates. I wish my dishwasher had a see thru door. I'm curious to see exactly what goes on in there. |

now the lipstick will be removed from the teacups Don't hold your breath. Chances are it'll just be redeposited on the plates ;-). ("Whose lips are these, anyway? You know I never wear Coral Orange!!") Richard, I agree with Darrel. That impeller is really in bad shape--I wonder if one of the D&M ones would fit it? Do you have any measurements on it? |

thanks for help, i agree its very damaged, but these machines are ultra rare here, i have never seen one on ebay before this one or know of anyone who owns one. below is a close up of the damage , its impellor is 3 3/4 inches tall 2 7/8 inches wide at centre base and 5 3/4 wide at widest point of fins , if any one has a godd s/h one to sell i would buy it.

i tried loading lower basket with one big plate then one side one but these machines were poor performers according to early british ca magazines, especially as it only used one wash with plain but very hot water for only 3 mins!. I was hoping to use it but i will keep my eyes open for a portable top loader that might slide under the counter as i dont really want to slice up my new worktops but it would be good to see this machine wash a little better, i will also try a perspex top to see how it looks and let you know thanks again Richard oops realised i did not have any more pics of loaded machine so attached my current DW 1975 Bendix! |
