Estate sale find today, for two bois who are moving into an older apartment building with no dishwasher.
Model GSC461-60HT, Ser #TZ 514007B. Portable, 80's era? My "Date your appliance" page doesn't recognize it. It was in a basement, unused for years, and the kitchen upstairs was TINY, I think it was too darn big to use. And when I first hooked it up, it made TONS of suds that leaked out the door bottom, had to run it through 6 rinses before gone. I think the idiots used dish soap liquid, didn't like the results(???) and carried it to the basement shortly after purchase. The underside shows rare use, clean machine. | ||

4 loads so far
and a tiny leak, maybe 1/8 cup, from the backside of the solenoid wash-versus-pumpout flapper, as viewed from the front. But each load through gets a smaller puddle, maybe something dried out is now re-suscatating itself? I got a few drop of turbine oil in the far end of the motor, but there's an occasional squeak. Maybe I'll need to slightly dis-assemble and lube it.
One load with 1/4 cup Clorox and 1/2 cup Borax made the racks sparkle. The POWER SOAK cycle is maybe 45 minutes, I got tired of watching the clock. I'll advise my chums to use NORMAL most of the time, I bet it'll do fine. I think I got a STEAL at $20. What era is this? I have a 55 MObile Maid(still needs some work), a 66 Mobile Maid with Power Shower(Used once a week and runs like a champ and washes EVERYTHING), and now this more modern temporary model. My friend's moving day is June 5, they'll be happy to see this. Any advice on a squeaky motor? | ||

Mark's Kitchen
Dave---It's good to see you here and hear you had a fine time in Pittsburgh.
My houe is a 1916 Foursquare, the cabinets are 1942, the Formica Boomerang countertops are from 2008 (when I also added in a retro sink) and the floor is yet un-done. (I get 87% thru a project and lose steam!) The curtains and cloths under the sink and above the stove are 50's print kitchen tablecloths, I've always loved them and wanted to use them somewhere. The Nutone Food Center is 1952, and I still need to cut up the drawer to fit back in beneath it. The Chambers Range is a 1952 or so, but then I bought the higher lighted backsplash from a 1942 model. There's tons of Pyrex all around. At some point, I had the entire 1947 and 1953 catalog of Pyrex kitchenware. The fridge is a 1956 Hotpoint. The built in dishwasher is a 92 Kitchenaid 23 series. I did NOT get the full gay genes for decor and colormatching, sorry. But I like my kitchen! And I am very colorblind, it takes LOTS of color for me to notice. Wow! Now that I look at all these pics, I think I"m a messy bachelor! | ||

custom made
by me! Thanks! And it extends back on the left to form a portion of the shelving installed where the ice-man's back door used to be, for as much shelving and storage as I could make. I added some outlets 'tween the shelves for the toaster and coffee pot, etc, since the kitchen really doesn't have tons of counterspace.

I Had....
....That exact dishwasher. Forever.
And it leaked from first day to last. This was in spite of repairs to the Plastisol, replacement of the motor/pump assembly, replacement of the door gasket, adjustments to the latch and striker, and Lord knows what all else. Find another dishwasher - any other dishwasher. That thing will screw up your life worse than a meth habit. | ||
