I am looking to sell my pink 60's Frigidaire dishwasher. When we bought our house it was like walking into a time capsule which was the whole house. Everything was kept in like new condition. We were told that the owner's barely used the dishwasher. The knob was taped so that it wouldn't be accidentally turned on. It's in awesome condition. It works because we have ran it to make sure. I am actually using the pink double oven. It's awesome!!! I wanted to use the dishwasher but there are a few small leaks from the seals underneath. I believe they are cork and this is a common situation. We just ended up buying a new one rather than dealing with it. My husband may end up fixing it regardless but we would like to sell it to someone who will appreciate it.

That's actually a 1962 or 1963 model.

That's in good shape for it's age; I'd be interested, but I'm on the east coast. We have a '63 Frigidaire stove, a '63 GE fridge; all we'd need is this to complete the time capsule kitchen!

Pink Kitchen

I even have pink cultured marble counters that are pristine. I thought I posted this in the for sale area but I don't see it there so I apologize for the mix up. Also, I didn't post a price but anyone can make an offer. Thanks for looking.

Oven mounted in the Rock wall so 1960's ! 

 

Jason,  Jackie crosses the country about once a month these days she certainly could bring it too you.

I'm reminded of Jayne Mansfield's former home in Los Angeles. Pink appliances and stone :D

PRETTY PINK APLIANCES

Patrica Thanks for posting and sharing these appliances,

Take good care of that wall oven unlike the DW these ovens are not a standard size and in a stone wall it will be hard to do much cutting to put in a new bigger oven.

The good news is by the early 1960s Frigidaire ovens had gotten pretty good so you should be able to keep this one going for a long time.

Wall oven

My husband said the same thing regarding replacing the wall oven with a new one. Cutting the hole for a new oven would be a nightmare. You can just feel the quality though. I absolutely love it. My mother in law says that it runs a little hotter than it says but I have had no issues. I do need to find a good home for the dishwasher though.

combo52; Was wondering with regard to the above statement; is your opinion about the earlier frigidaire ovens, that they were somewhat more problematic? Considering purchasing an earlier 55' double oven locally. thanks. Les

Frigidaire Wall Ovens

combo52's profile picture
Hi Les, like most mechanical-electrical things if you are looking at one 8 years older it is going to have more problems now and sooner than one that is 8 years newer. Quality and reliability improved quite a bit from 1955 on, although many ovens started to get very complicated in the mid and later 60s when they stared with features like self-cleaning ovens.

Which FD wall oven are you considering ?, I didn't think that FD even came out with DWOs till about 1958.

side by side double oven

It's the side by side Frigidaire double oven range in thread 55754. That one's in N.C. and another one is in Nokomis, Fla. Les

The pink oven and dishwasher are from 1963 or 1964.

 

I have a 1962 pink Deluxe dishwasher and it's a bit different from yours. The 1962 model has a different cycle selector, emblem on the door handle, no constant rinse at the top and Bakelite tracks for the upper rack and a smaller silverware basket. 

 

I also have an oven like yours but it's turquoise. Do you have a matching pink cooktop?

Nice

I don't have a cook top but I wish I did sometimes. The "modern" one takes forever to heat up and it's really annoying when I try to clean it.

You would probably have the same complain if you had an old Frigidaire cooktop, unless it had the "Speed Heat" burner! But they still work fine and for many years! A friend of mine had a newer Frigidaire ceramic cooktop that didn't get a lot of use that had a burner that didn't stop to heat and it was just 4 years old when I replaced the faulty switch that caused it to stay on. I think even the Speed Heat switches usually lasted more than that!
