Why do they have to be so far away? And it's a Top Loade

ugh! I want it!!! and you're right, it does look like Whirlpool was using GE parts for everything below the top rack. I guess that's possible, but during those years, unlikely. But, like you, I've seen that bow tie before. Good thing I can't see a rinse dispenser anywhere in the photos or I'd be forced to buy it. I hate it when they list it with "make an offer". Somehow, the 50 dollars that it's barely worth is never enough.

Wow, that's different all right! I know the older Whirlpool dishwashers were actually re-badged D&M machines (have one of those!) - I am puzzled about this one though. The folding top rack kinda reminds me of the older Frigidaire top-loaders (D & M Models, too). I like that idea better than the top rack in my 61 Whirlpool portable that rolls back and forth and will result in a nasty load of glasses if you forget to roll it back into the right spot...

A whole apartment house in Atlanta at 130 26th St., I think, had these in the drop door builtin version. If you have ever been in NW Atlanta and travelled I-75 North, it is the modern apt. building with the funny green sun screens that sort of were flexed out. The bowtie impeller and the lower rack were so GE, but what made it weird was that the pull out lower rack rack had no sides, just like a GE rack for a rollout tub. You could not put things like skillets on the sides unless you carefully inserted it once the rack was in the tank. This was WP's model under the wash arm machine with the telephone timer dial. The lower rack works far better in the stationary tub of the portable than in the drop door builtin.

Hmmm

Very interesting. Another bowtie impeller machine. BUT not a GE Mobile Maid. Hope someone gets it.

If it had been up 6 months earlier, I could have saved it when I was in Cleveland last summer. Oh well.
