Frigidaire inside shot
Racks perfect, Plastisol tub has NO rust at all. I removed both of these dishwashers from use, and were working fine when removed. I saved them because they were in such good shape. Now I need to move them on to a new home. Not looking to get much from them, but would like them to move along soon, and find a good home. Pick up here is perfered. If interested please email me. Jeff

Jeff, those are sure nice looking. You sure could put some tall stuff on that Frigidaire upper rack! I have a spare set, come to think of it! | ||

The roto-racks were all sourced from D&M, but badged with every "Tom, Dick and Harry's" logo. | ||

Super Surge---
Dishwashers were one of my favorites during my decades of "FRIGIDAIRE-ITUS" I liked the ease of loading and,my grandmother (Mom's Mom we didn't dare to call grandma but Mado instead)had the Imperial built in model along with the matching wall oven,cooktop and DeLuxe Jet Action 12 pound capacity washer.The frig conked out back in 1974 and she went to Sears to get a Coldspot.All the condos there had the same layout in their kitchen and laundry areas but,due mostly to abuse and missuse of the applainces there,my grandparents were the only ones who still had most of the original appliances built in to the units. My g'father was one of the maintanance men and the manager of the site.He did not like the washer and always called it their "thrashing machine"but it outlasted them both.He worked for GM (Chevrolet plant in Dundalk,MD.)56 years and was able to get 25% off all FRIGIDAIRE appliances but didn't take advantage of that until after he retired from GM.When they originaly lived with and basicly raised us as kids,I always hoped that,if any of our appliances ever broke down,that he'd go and replace them all with the FRIGIDAIRES.However,after my7 Mom's death,my g'parents moved and sold my dad their three shares of the house and got the condo.After being there 2 years,the owners credited my g'dad for the entire amount paid in full of the condo and let them live there absolutely free because he was like me and enjoyed staying busy no matter what the job.He would do everything from replacing appliances to painting,wallpaper hanging and burning the trash in their gas incinerator.He was rich as shit when he died because all the pension checks were never cashed and none spent.His pay at the homesite was in a huge 5 foot high Miller Beer bottle full of hundred,fifty and twenty dollar bills.

D&M? I've never heard of that brand; only Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, and General Electric. Who were they? Do they still exist? Can somebody spell out the abbreviation to help familiarize me a little more? Thanks. NorfolkSouthern | ||

Thanks for clearing that up, appnut. Can anybody give me an idea of how well a Roto-Rack works, compared to a conventional dishwasher? How common are these machines? How about the portables? NorfolkSouthern | ||

SoberLeaf will have some opnions on these matters, he just left with about 7 dishwashers. One is a Mobile Maid impeller roto-rack, a kelvinator D&M with a square top rack and dual spinner system, and a GMFR slant portable. I am wondering about GMFR dishwashers, you don't see many, can't wait to get an update on performance. matt
