Nice color !
Even though your pic is not that clear, the outside appearance of the machine looks good. Did you get any history on the machine? Did the person you bought it from have it hooked up?
When you say it needs fixing, do you know what is wrong? Have you tried connecting it to power? The more info you can share the better. I may be able to help you but just need to know a little more. Can you post some more pictures, especially of the interior and the mechanicals underneath? Patrick | ||

If it was me, I would first make sure the float, which is thw piece in the front left of the inner tub,bobbles up and down making the sound of a switch. This is to both keep the tub from overfilling or underfilling. The switch turns the intake valve on and/or off.They have a tendancy to come off during shipment on their sides or upside down.Then, I would put a rubber cap or shove a paper towel into the drain piece located just under the pump.Then, I'd take a regular three wire 110 volt long appliance cord and hook it up correctly.I would then pour about 5 gallons of hot water inside and set the timer in the begining of the main wash, plug the unit in, close the door and hope the motor comes on.You'll know imediately from the noise the water makes whether it works or not. Then, I'd set the timer to drain the water out and be sure the pump and motor reverse and the water pumps out freely.Just be sure to remove the pump cover. If it's good, it may pop the cover off by the force it has.I recomend doing this out on the driveway in case it leaks and to let the pump drain the water out.Have fun!!

Missing wire
In this picture here I see there is a terminal that appears to be missing its wire. I'm not sure what this goes to (turquoisedude or dishwashercrazy probably know) but I'll bet there is a loose wire hanging somewhere in there that should be connected to this. 'laundromat' gave some good advice for testing but if you aren't completely sure of what you are doing then ask for more help and I know others will chime in. I may be able to help you in person after the holidays pass and it does sound like you've got yourself a nice complete vintage kitchen there from what you've described. I'd love to see it in person.

Curious... Is the float supposed to come out like that for this kind of dishwasher? | ||

GE BUILT-IN DW Your DW is the last of this style machine with a real motor for GE. It would be some where around 1965-1966, GE started to change to the cheap shaded pole motor in 1967. These were ok DWs in thier day and it would sure beat not having a DW but there are much better classic machines if it is going to get much use or if you value top performance from your appliances. This DW does fit in with the great GE stove and cool Frigidare refrigerator that you have, but if it were me I would find a classic Kitchenaid DW from the mid 1960s-the mid 1970 and just spray paint the front panels turquoise. Very few parts are available for these GEs and they were fair to poor performers unless most dishes were rinsed.
The blue plastic float does lift out on these and the missing wire on the float switch terminal may go to the water inlet valve. It may be best to get an appliance technician to look over and test out the machine if you don't want to do this your self. Good Luck and let us know how it works out. | ||

Tugmobile, In your first picture, is that a Kenmore or possibly Roper wall oven behind the GE dishwasher? | ||
