Yep, that 'Vintage Free-Standing' dishwasher is definitely a Whirlpool. Probably a mid-60s judging by the rolling upper rack. It should also have a folding shelf to fill in that space between the upper rack and the front of the cabinet. $300 for untested is a bit steep... But the seller could possibly be 'talked down' to reality. |

Is the elusive top loading portable version. Unlike GE and Kitchenaid versions Whirlpool added a thermostat hold for the main wash. This ensured the water temperature reached proper temperature (140F IIRC). Unlike the others these units were not so highly dependent upon the household's hot water supply being cranked up to 140F or above to deliver results.
From the pictures the inside of that Whirlpool looks nasty. Cannot tell if it is rust, dirt, vermin droppings, or whatever. Surely wouldn't give $300 of my hard earned money for something in that condition. |

because it if did fire up and work......he would have been all over posting that clue!..... I especially love the ones, where it worked the last time they used it.....yeah, in 1940.....what?....no electrical available to the barn as of yet......news flash, great new invention....Extension cords, generators!.... |

Dang it, launderess, I'm now going to have to drag the '61 WP top-loader out of it's alcove to see what it does with water heating. I just can't recall what it does but I have a feeling that like a MM, a Whirlpool of this vintage heats water throughout the wash and rinse cycles.
Hmmm.... wonder if that machine may wind up being the 'spare' dishwasher in the new house come August...

But my MM only heats water during the main wash, period. Do not think the heater is engaged during the two rinses and only comes on again for drying.
If GE had put an little effort into finding a way to insulate these MM dishwasher so much heating wouldn't be necessary. Standing near the unit during the heated wash and anything afterwards for that matter, you can feel heat coming off the cabinet. |
