According to the history of American Central Mfg. Co. (AVCO), Philco dishwashers were one of D&M's products. |

Thanks for posting these pictures. I was always curious about Philco dishwashers, even wondering if they were ever made. Looks like it would do the job although with absolutely no fun whatsoever. I see the knockout for what would have to be a rinse agent dispenser, so I can assume this wasn't their only model. Now I have to wonder what a TOL Philco dishwasher would look like.
I remember having a large catalog of Philco refrigerators from the late '60's; the brand boasted a huge variety. I also remember that they were considered one of the better brands of refrigerators at the time. They were both unique and equipped with many features and conveniences. I'd love to know what happened to the brand. |

Ford Motor Co sold Philco to WCI the electric range plant went to Caloric-Amana owned by Raytheon at the time so Caloric could enter the electric range business this is also the range that Amana teemed up on to make thier ME micro-electric and gas 30" free standing combination ranges. It was actually a pretty good range I have both a n electric one and a gas one which is installed out on the screen porch [ the best place for a gas range I couldn't imagine having all the heat and odor of a gas range in the house] My friend Tom also has the electric version in his kitchen and likes it very well.

The only thing Norge about it is the name plate. OPERATING INDICATOR LIGHT--Tells at a glance when the dishwasher is operating. Useful for the profoundly deaf. |

My Sister had a BOL Kenmore front load portable. If you washed the dishes and loaded it, it could manage to wet the dishes, and that was about it. When I was over, and I unloaded it, about 1/2 the time you had to put them back in for another go at it. About the only thing it was good for was to blow the dust off the dishes.LOL

when I was a kid, circa 1979ish. It was the narrow one (18"?) Doesn't look like it from the outside, but the racks, wash arm, and floater all are like I remember |

I'd love to see that Norge TOL top rack up close. The tiering is fascinating.
We had a 1983 Kenmore with Power Miser model that had three-level wash (lower, middle, constant-rinse) and kicked butt. The only thing irritating about it was its tendency to blow stuff around in the bottom rack, and the odd triangle tines that were used throughout, which were far less convenient than individual stick-tines. It had multiple cutlery trays and bins and a removable section in the top rack. The *fill-fill-fill-stop* (pause) *doo-WAHHHHHHHH!* sound (usually followed by the sound of clunking, clanking and clattering) of these machines is unmistakable and Tom is right that you will never NOT know when the machine is on unless it's in the dry cycle. (Ours had forced-air drying, btw, and was very nice.) Ours replaced a late-sixties Mobile Maid, with GE's vertical-axis pump that was a dishwasher in the academic sense. Though MOL, it did a great job only if the dishes went in clean. Our D&M is still running, even though my grandmother and grandfather passed away in 1998 and 2001 respectively. It's on the verge of collapse from rust in the sump, but has done well for itself with no repairs beyond replacing the forced-air dry fan when the bearings went in the tiny motor that drove the squirrel-cage. HOWEVER, if you don't have screaming-hot water, you'd be better off washing them by hand. You can either run the Sani-Temp Wash or ramp your water heater--your choice. I had the BOL Kenmore built-in to play with that a neighbor gave me when I was 11. I had fun with it but found that it only did a good job with things in the bottom rack; it was a little bit of a stretch to expect that machine to clean all the way up to the top with no constant rinse or other help along the way. It was great fun, though. |
