Another dishwasher... |

 Another Non-Frigidaire dishwasher to add to the small collection. This one is the newest among those that I got so far. I always liked dishwashers with rapid-advance timers. I passed a few similar ones over the years but I had to get this one. My parents had a similar dishwasher from the same year but it was the one-step below model with the rotary cycle selector and energy saver switch, two things that I don't care much for! So after the KDS-14, the 1969 Frigidaire Custom Imperial, the two WU 601 and the two KDS-18 dishwashers, here's finally something I think John Lefever will approve! ;-)
An Inglis Royal 100 from 1978... It also came with the instructions manual. I wish it was the older model with the earlier style latch and the porcelain inner door like the one in the manual but this newer one has replaceable front panels and it's in decent shape. | ||

The detergent dispenser reminded me the similar Inglis Royal we had when I was a kid. The door didn't open fully during the wash cycle as it was held by the lower rack. When the dishes were clean, as soon as we opened the dishwasher's door, the dispenser door would fully open and hit the inner door panel and that made a distinctive noise. Whoever opened the door to add some dishes and heard that noise had to take the clean dishes out...
That's the part I didn't like so I had found a way to partially close the detergent door, slam the dishwasher's door so the dispenser door would reopen and be partially held by the lower rack just like if the door hadn't been opened after the wash cycle. Then I manually washed the few dishes that I was about to add in the dishwasher and walked away leaving the unloading task to the next family member who would open the door! | ||

Hi Phil
I had bought my Mom a 1970 Whirlpool Mark 100 for Mother's Day.
There was only one Pilot Light to let you know it was on but had the exact same cycle selection and was rapid advance. I think this was one of the first 2 years Whirlpool came out with the Dual Wash Arms. I really wanted a KitchenAid Superba, but when I saw the Whirlpool with the wash arm under the upper rack it just made more sense. After loading a friend's KitchenAid and seeing the results of the One Arm Wonder I went with Whirlpool for the double wash arms. Great Cleaners. Noisy, but who cares. It's the sounds we love. Very, Very, Very Nice Machine. | ||

I have a newer, electronic control panel version of this dishwasher, and was my daily driver until the KDS-58 came along. I rescued it from a barn that was part of my brother's last house purchase, and restored it. Had an issue a couple of months later with it pumping small amounts of water out the drain during the wash cycle until the water level would get low enough that the pump would start sucking air and lose prime, which turned out to be a stem valve in the pump that needed to be replaced.
PhilR, when you starting talking about the detergent dispenser door and the noise it makes hitting the inner door panel, I said to myself, "I know that sound!" :-) | ||

Thanks for your comments.
Eddie, I guess the machine you bought was like the one John L. just bought on Shopper's square?: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T...
Since I haven't tried mine or read the instructions yet, I'm wondering what is the "2 speed" mention on the control panel? A two-speed motor?!? | ||

Nice machine. I remember seeing them in the stores in those days. So I guess the Normal wash would be the Super Wash button. And for the french speaking members, I find it funny that they use the expression "laveuse de vaisselle" on the cover of the instruction manual. Instead of "lave-vaisselle". | ||

My first dishwasher was one modle down from this. I think it had cup shelves?
I always liked cleaning the little filter cup in the bottom after a party. There was always an odd beer cap or cigarette butt. How do you start this dishwasher if you want to use the same cycle already pushed? Do you have to push cancel and then back to the original button? | ||

Paul, I know the GE dishwashers had a kind of aerator on some of their dishwashers but I'm wondering about this one. The 1977_78 Inglis Royal dishwasher (the model without the rapid advance timer) that my parents had when I was a kid didn't mention having two speeds but it also had a china/crystal cycle. I never knew the difference between this and the regular cycles...
Steve, "une laveuse à vaisselle" is how I call "a dishwasher" in French! I have friends from France who call it "un lave-vaisselle"! Same for "laveuse à linge" often used (including by myself) here rather than "lessiveuse" or "lave linge" and "sécheuse" for the dryer ("séchoir" in Quebec is usually used for a hair dryer, unless it's a Norge I guess!).
Brian, the model my parents had was also one model down from this. From what I recall, it had the same racking as this one, including the height adjustments for the upper rack. (see pictures from the instruction manual that I kept for the control panel view) This post was last edited 03/25/2015 at 11:52 | ||

Phil, I know what you are saying. I just thought that laveuse à vaisselle was a little too slang, or joual, if you know what I am saying. On a printed document from a big corporation. Anyways, that machine is pretty cool. And so is the manual. | ||

Geez, the mention of 'laveuse à vaisselle' has dredged up memories of the honking big pink neon Inglis sign that you could see on the autoroute Metropolitain (around Christophe-Colomb or Papineau, but I can't be sure...). The sign would light up the types of appliances Inglis offered: laveuses, secheuses, réfrigerateurs, cuisinières, and finally laveuses à vaisselle. I got to see that sign every Sunday night back in the 70s as we drove back from the weekend place in the Townships... | ||

I barely remember that sign. We didn't have a car, so we barely went on the Metropolitan. In the late 70's, I was more obsessed by the Maytag store on Ste-Catherine East, between Fullum and Iberville. I remember the reverse-rack dishwasher demo, with a glass front. | ||

No cycle lights? I thought they were 100% Whirlpool clones! Out of room?!
It might happen but this isn't the first machine I want to part with at the moment!
It's currently my only Inglis/Whirlpool dishwasher (well, I do have that BOL bow-tie-GE-impeller thing in my collection of plastisol wonders that contains mostly Frigidaire stuff otherwise!).
Unless I find a really nice Food Life Preserver fridge... Then I would have to make more room ;-)
Of course, I just got it, I might change my mind later...
Apparently, only fools never change their mind!
LOL! | ||

Isn't there a 'Canadian Content' rule... That's right Paul! Having some Canadian machines is what dragged me into buying my Inglis Superb and my Inglis Royal 100 washer/dryer sets and my RCA washer!

This dishwasher is a lot newer. The styling didn't change very much.

I believe the aeration for gentler washing was achieved by shortening the fill so that there was less head pressure developed by the pump. | ||

I'm certain it's a Whirlpool made unit - The knob is the exact same on my DU3003XL0, and the filter grill is the same, but in mine it's blue. The tub also appears to be identical - detergent dispenser, float, water inlet, etc. | ||

Aerated Water Ge used that same principle when they came out with their first under the counter machines after they retired the Pull Out tubs. The Crystal China Cycle on the TOL was a aerated Wash (Partial fill). The TOL had four cycles : Daily Loads, Pots and Pans, Crystal China, and the ever so popular Rinse and Hold.
And Yes Jon !!!
After Ben and Cory watching SuperCar I jumped right on that photo. Extra Credit for noticing that !!! | ||

Brian, I just found a picture of my grandparent's dishwasher from 1982. Unfortunately, I'm partially hiding it and everything is out of focus... | ||

It's the exact model that you sent in the previous picture. An Inglis Royal with two indicator lights. My parents had an older one (also Inglis Royal) with the larger knob (the instruction manual I posted above is for that model CSDU 8000) which I think was from the same years as my Royal 100 as I have pictures showing this dishwasher that are dated as being of January 1978. Unlike the US models, I think the Royal 100 kept the styling from older Inglis models while the rest of the lineup looked almost exactly like Whirlpools.
Pictures showing children happen to be the right height to show the dishwasher's control panels! I'm on the right on this picture and I found another picture of me in 1980 in a rare occasion where I was looking at the camera! I was still far from my current weight of 325 pounds then...

I don't know..I remember being that young, but the world became proportionally a whole lot older…give me a few younger years back, dammage. :-[) You were a cute little kid and would have made a good choice for the dishwasher ads.
Looking at your dishwasher there, PhilR, if we had a dishwasher, I'd be playing with that thing - my mom would have to keep me restrained. Lights, water, interesting sounds would be irresistible. Few had dishwashers; large families used their kids to wash dishes. | ||

Every member of my family had to practice the manual "rinse and hold" in the sink before loading the dishwasher! We couldn't put any dishes that didn't look clean in the dishwasher! When the racks started to disintegrate, the dishes looked dirtier after we run it as there was some rust stains on the plates from the rusted tines! | ||

Inglis and English control labels.
I was just thinking of John Inglis who started this company 150 years ago, and wondered if he /the company…ever manufactured appliances with French only label controls? Not that it would win the hearts of most Canadians, but thinking about some of you who live in Quebec and maybe prefer seeing French (not suggesting Quebec nationalism expansion, lol). My thought was just, did Inglis offer an option in labeling or do you have PhilR /Turquoisedude any Canadian-made appliances whose controls are labeled in French.
merci' Phil | ||

I don't think they did French-only control panels. Some were bi-lingual like those on my "Royal 100" washer and dryer. Bi-lingual controls were mostly seen on late 1970's and 1980's machines but that's not always true. For example, this dishwasher has Engliah-only controls and it's from the late-1970s and the Royal 100 set is from the early-1970s... I have also seen a 1967 "Enterprise" range that had bi-lingual controls and the later ones, even if they kept the same control panels did away with the French writing. I also have illustrations showing a 1966 Frigidaire range with French-only control panel which was apparently available but I have never seen one of those. | ||

I wish I'd kept a photo or two, but I had a 70s Canadian GE washer and dryer set with unilingual French control panels!
I remember Inglis dishwashers in particular having 'iconic' control panels - a picture of a saucepan for the ScourWash cycle, a stack of dishes for the Normal wash, a small stack of dishes for Light wash, etc. The GE we got in '78 had a similar control panel and the 87 GE that was installed in my first house still had this kind of panel. | ||

Paul - it would be interesting to see those icons that were used to represent controls on the Inglis dishwashers.
For myself, I like those vs. the lettering, unless the lettering is script or something that stands out. Phil - You are such a resource…I see it. I'm a little disappointed that they labeled it in such plain characters - would think French might get a little different treatment, but it's ok. I wasn't digging for unique fonts; interest was just to see what was used to represent the burners and oven controls. Is that a turquoise stove? It looks really nice if it's turquoise…some turquoise is just a bit too strong in statement but that looks like mint, which (to me) lifts it above the staid-looking, but practical whites. Oh well. Thank you both! | ||
