I've had this little guy for about 8-10 years now, found at an estate sale. It needs a new home, I'm out of room and this doesn't deserve the indignity of recycling!
It's in beautiful shape and works very well, or at least, how it was designed to! Timer works, water valve, dispenser, motor and pump all function well. It only needs a couple of minor things, a new cord and the unicouple needs a new seal or o-ring at the faucet connection. When you first connect the coupler to the faucet and turn on the water, it leaks but when the machine starts the first fill sequence the leak stops and becomes a drip. Let me know if you're interested soon, the space is tight around here and I won't be able to store it! Best of all - it's FREE to a good home! |

Inside. I've repaired a couple of small spots in the Plastisol interior with some blue dishwasher rack repair. This will hold it for a while but I wonder if it will last permanently as it doesn't "bond" with the plastisol. You can see one on left side tab that holds the upper rack, one at the back and then around the opening of the pump at the bottom in the sump area.

The tub, racks and impeller would be very close to the pull-out version of the GE dishwasher. I have a 59 Princess that looks disturbingly similar... LOL
As far as performance goes, my 57 Mobile Maid was the 'daily driver' down in Ogden from about a month after we moved in unitl the kitchen centre was installed in 2009 - I honestly never had any complaints about it! I thought it did fine - but to be fair, I did grow with an impeller-wash so I was aware of their potential problems and pitfalls. |

I have that same dishwasher. I know what you mean when you talk about being out of room but you only want to get rid of something if you can find it an appreciative home.
Mine has sat in the corner of the dining room for several years now and never gets used but I would find it very hard to part with. I hope you find a good home for yours. Patrick |

It has been 30 years from the last time I have seen one of these dishwashers in my area. Sure hope it went to a good home. Thanks for sharing the pictures. |

I know the original posting is a year ago, but do you still have the Mobile-Maid? |
