WOWOOO
I grew up with the 24 inch with the optional walnut front panel but I never knew they made a 30" model. Manh! that 30" thing must have just ROARED! Our 24 inch was WAY TOO Loud. I can just imagine this beast. That mechanism was horrendous in never cleaned anything, Mom had to completey wash the dishes before they'd come clean. We moved that thing down to the cape house when Dad bought her a new KD-17. It was a beast down there too but once I was using it and had run out of detergent so I thought in my youth, just a drop of liquid would work. BOY WAS I WRONG!! It started out just fine thank you but after a few minutes it started to get very quite which I thought was an improvement. Next thing I know my friend Gail is yelling for me to come quick to the machine, so I wheeled around to see a huge white foam tonque oozing out and down from the grillwork to the floor where it spread out into a big half moon. The floor got really clean that night! She and I spent the balance of the evening scooping buckets of suds up out of the tub. What a mess!!! Tell no one! jet | ||

It was Dacor...
I think Mark, lightedcontrols had one of these in his house but Dacor and their service reps. could never get the machine to run through a complete cycle. I heard Dacor recalled them all and even paid for another dishwasher and whatever cabinet/space alterations might be necessary to install a 24" machine in it's place. It must have cost Dacor a fortune. | ||

how cool! My parent's house had the Hotpoint version of that Disposall in their current house when they bought it. It would eat almost anything! | ||

Oh God Tom
I remember that too! If you didn't close that soap dispenser just right you were scooping goop out of it refilling and redoing the cycle! Thanks for the time line I was fuzzy on ours! We moved into our house in 1957 and we had a dishwasher for a couple years before we got a dryer in 1961. So our pullout was a 1958 model. It had the plastisol 1.25 squares and no spray on the top. I always placed it at the same time as the dryer 1961. But now that I think of it Dad did the entire kitchen over after we moved in. He put in the built in stove GE! the pink wall fridge GE!, the GE Disposall and the D/W so my memory is off it was done in 1958 or 1959. I remember being very young. A tender 3 or 4. In Schenectady stock could sit around a year before it got sold. Since Dad bought everything at the GE employee store, they got a huge discount but it was last years appliances. Maybe we did have a bad machine it was LOUD and never really worked that well. We were all glad to see it go. | ||

Tom, all of the GE roll-outs I ever were exposed to had that rectangular cup dispenser. My Aunts, who built their house in like 1959 or 1960 and my Grandmother when she moved into a high-rise apartment. Both of these were that light, tannish brown color. The apartment kitchen even had the GE cabinets. I always loved those enameled cabinets. What year would these units be then? And they both had the pink interiors.

The GE Pink Panther
Thank you for that posting; what a surprise to learn that once again, GE was ahead of its time and introduced a long lost 30" built-in dishwasher. When you think about it though, the 24" square format is elegant and almost perfect. I'd rather have two different dishwashers (especially today) than one big fat honker. WE owned a 1961 TOL 24" version of this machine. It was a roll-out; it had the classic pink epoxy interior with the newer style light-red plastic cutlery basket that would appear in later blue/white Mobile-Maid models that I've seen depicted on this site. It had four cycles: HEAVY SOIL (GE pink button),NORMAL SOIL, POTS AND PANS ( Which meant, I learned later on when I discovered the manual in my father's file cabinet, that the heating coil was turned off during the drying cycle--predecessor to "Energy Saver" option) and a true FINE CHINA AND CRYSTAL cycle where the machine actually aerated the spray to make it gentler. I remember showing my mother, again after actually reading the manual, that those two strange spiky rack-rods at the top of the tub were actually a third -level of brilliantly designed auxilliary cup racks! So six years after installing the thing we were getting better use out of it. A forgivable "Beverly Hillbillies" moment on our part. Although we bitched about the access to the lower rack of this machine, I too am nostalgic about it. It cleaned flawlessly and it was extremely quiet for its day. It was solid as a US tank and I remember the day that my father and I removed it to replace it with an excellent KitchenAid Custom KC-17 model, how impressed we were with how well it was engineered and how it was designed to be installed as an empty casing first, with all plumbing and electrical connections made easily and conveniently. Once that installation was complete, all one had to do was slide the unit, like a drawer, into the housing. I was also impressed, the day we removed it, that it had a black plastic "power-shower". Who knew? I've told many people about it now that the Fisher/Paykel plastic drawers are all the rage. Pity that they're such flimsy toys. GE really produced some great works of industrial art in its heyday. Here's my depiction of the model we owned and a scan from an ad for GE's 1960 "Golden Anniversary" line of appliances featuring a similar 24-inch unit

Thanks. I did it with a program called Free Hand 7. Problem was/is, the files are so huge, it took me some time with the webmaster's help to figure out how to translate them to JPEG files small enough to post to this site. I was so excited to discover and become a member of this club ( and SO grateful to all you members for the wealth of infomation that I've picked up for my project) that my first attempts to post the images failed. Unfortunately, a lot of detail has been lost but you get the idea.

Next to New If not mistaken Filterflo had a 24" one that I fell in love with. I am sure he emailed me that he scraped it because of the rust. WAY TOO BAD Mike

Thank you.It was pink, which, of course, made any compulsive button pusher want to use it; I think it attenuated the PRE-WASH and WASH portions of the cycle. No kidding, my mother may have used the FINE CHINA cycle a couple of times in the life of the machine. Besides that, the NORMAL button was always the one engaged. I remember going with my parents to a charming appliance store in Centerbrook Connecticut called "Bombace's" (a converted Shell Oil Gas Station--he was the local GE dealer and where they bought the used GE 1960 filter-flo that I seek)and telling Mr. Bombace, as he tried to persuade her to buy a 1964 model with a couple of cycles including "RINSE and HOLD" that she only ever used one button and would be dammned if she was going to spend money on any machine with more than one cycle. By then GE had changed their built-ins from pink roll-outs to Blue and White drop-down doors. It was actually a pretty good dishwasher she bought that day (an SD-103, I believe).
