are you sure it's '62?

That DW looks more like '66 IIRC.....

Where's the cooktop? Or why couldn't it have been an electric range? These would have matched our fridge!!!

If anyone's going for this,  I just happen to have a GE cook top (a 1964 model, though) sitting in my loft in Ogden....  Hubby would be VERY happy if I could find a home for it!!

That's not a 1962 dishwasher, that may be the age of the house. It's from 1965. We had the BOL from that year and I remember the look of the dial. These TOL's had the notorious decorative metal bars on the rack fronts that caught and retained bits of food particles from the wash. I'm glad to see people who have the sense to put these things up on eBay at least, instead of just sending them to the dump.

 

Hard to tell with the ovens but I'm betting the same year; the BOL double ovens didn't change much through the Sixties, but I'd love to have those doors.

My exact same oven!

That double wall oven is the twin for the one I have stored away for my future home. I wish I was closer to snag this one. Mine has a chip on the outer right edge of my upper oven door, so having a better one like it would be nice, or at least be able to swap the best parts of both to make a perfect one. Thanks for posting this! So nice to see another one out there. I wouldn't mind that hood either since I have the cooktop and a matching Frigidaire Imperial DW in the right shade too.

Mid 1960s GE DW and Oven.

As Ken correctly pointed out this is newer than 1962 by several years as is the oven. My parents home in Minnesota[ built in 1966 ] came with a slightly upgraded version of this DW and while our family didn't have many different DWs over the years this was certainly the worst performing DW that I ever used in any home that any of us lived in. Even our repair prone 1966 D&M DW cleaned much better.

 

GE to their credit sold millions of these cheap DWs to builders which really paved the way for KA, WP, Sears, and later MT to sell replacement machines to home owners. These GE machines, like most DWs of the 1950s-60s averaged only around 10 years of life [ with the exception of KA DWs ] Most of the GEs rusted out even though the machine was still running well.

Yeah, Bob, I caught that but after measuring and measuring (again) we really need to go with a 30 or 40" range and not separte units. :-(
