Rumor has it Whirlpool discontinued the hidden controls because people wanted to see all the buttons and light! |

I think this is about the best cleaning dishwashers ever made. I am sorry I gave up my powerclean portable. I didnt mind the silverware basket on the door. If you put the plates in front their was no problem with the silverware cleaning. I do wish they would have come up with the towerless wash system much earlier than they did. But with the rack arrangement it was no big deal.
David thanks for scanning Peter |

WP did have some pump durably problems in the 1970s - 1984 the main seals would fail and the resulting water leak would ruin the motor pretty quickly. This problem was made worse [ as with any dishwasher ] by pre rinsing the dishes and using too much detergent. However the complete pump and motor assembly only sold for $68 dollars in the mid 1980s and if you called WP they usually gave you the part for free and it only took 15 minutes to install, hardly a good reason to get rid of the best performing DW ever.

I never knew Whirlpool offered a rapid-advance timer model like the one above. I've only seen this in the Sears Best/Lady Kenmore version. I really liked that dishwasher. I almost got it instead of my GE GSD1200. I liked the fact that the delay timer was kind of like a roll/cylinder you set. Friends of mine that moved here when I did, had this dishasher. He kept telling me it would run for hours and hours heating the water--he was an electrical design engineer so no dummy. He figured out the water was being ehated basically by the motor heat. I told him something seemed backwards. So he put a volt meter on the heating element. Turns out the heater was only being activated when it was filling. Had sears come out and fixed it. A wire was reeversed in the place it should have been. I wonder how many units were assembled like that. David or John L, can you tell me what the model number for that WP model right above is? I'm talking about the scan with the lady sliding in the new matching color custom made panel that matches the cabinetry next to the trash compactor. I think the Lady Kenmore/Sears Best version had separate buttons for wash temp boost and high-temp rinse.

Thanks again for the great posts.
My Aunt had the 5003xl what a great machine cleaned fast and everything came out spotless always. I had a friend that moved in a apartment and they only had builders models. When the mid 60s bol GE bombed out they installed the 300xl bol (non powerclean) it still wasnt to bad. |
