While picking up the tote and vinegar this afternoon for the GE project, I stopped at the junker pile behind Menards and saw this Whirlpool dishwasher. I don't usually see Whirlpool dishwashers from this era around here as KitchenAid and Maytag dominated the local market, so I thought I'd snap a few photos and post them.
If I had to guess I'd say early 80's. |

My parents had a very similar dishwasher when I was a kid I think they got it just before I was born (probably in 1976). It was an undercounter model, branded "Inglis Sterling" and had 5 push buttons (I think the letter "E" was "Crystal China"). It had an ajustable upper rack and it said "Scour Wash".
Here's the best picture I found of it (that was in 1980)... |

We had that same exact model and color growing up, except it was a built-in. It is a powerhouse of a dishwasher and it really cleanup pots n pans. Ours lasted 14 years before it died, I think it was something in the timer that went bad and killed itself. I would have been hard to pass that machine up, keep for a backup. And it's clean too.
