Nice addition to your collection Paul. It certainly does have good wash action from the spray arm. When I was at Modern Parts on May 5th this year, I picked up from Larry, a Repair-Master publication for Whirlpool Automatic Dishwasher. I am uncertain if I took the last one, or if there were more in his file cabinet drawer. This book covers a wide range of models leading up the the 1975 publication date on the book. If even covers earlier models which had a bow-tie looking impeller - similar to the GE impeller of the late 1950s. Thanks for the pictures and video. Mike |

Gorgeous machine! I think I'll call that color "hot turquoise". If this is a Whirly from the early sixties, I can tell you that CU check-rated these machines. I've always been curious to see what they looked like. Interesting that the shape of the spray arm is the same as it is today. Is there another top rack or is it just that one rack that rolls back and forth?

Those were great machines I had the same one many years ago. That is the complete upper rack, this machine has no relation to D&M machines or anything Sears sold. Sears did not source any DWs from WP until about 1984-5, thats when WP came out with they impossible to beat Power Clean pump and motor system.

Were made by D&M manufacturing in Ohio they made almost all of the Sears machines machines until 1984-5 when Sears finally started selling a decent dishwasher. Sears always had an excellent reputation for washers & dryers, freezers & refrigerators but thier dishwashers and gas and electric ranges never really measured up to the better national brands. If you look at the construction quality of a D&M DW compared to a WP DW you will never confuse the too. D&M only made DWs for other companies at one point I counted more than 20 different brand names that appeared on D&M built machines. I don't think D&M could have marketed the machine on their own as it was always such a poor quality machine that it needed a big brand on it to move it at all, as a stand alone brand few people would give it a second look.

Including the very first WP built-ins but never any of thier portables, tappan, Modern Maid, Norge, Speed Queen, Magic Chef, some Westinghouse top load portables, Chambers, Preway electric models, [ they made thier own gas heated machines], some Frigidare TL portable machines etc etc I am sure I missed some can anyone remember any others?.
