Gary, the family of a fraternity brother in college had this exact same dishwasher in this exact same color. We all seemed to gather in the kitchen. Naturally I'd migrat over to the side which had the appliancas on the wall and drool over this dishwasher. Can you imagine what a vision it was (well the guy was too--former football player) to have this dishwasher and the corresponding washer & dryer all lined up next to each other--with that console, all 3 matched.

That was John's. The dramatic, upswept control panel with fluorescent lighting recalled the early 60s Lady Kenmore top loading portables with similar control panels. | ||

A neigbor down the street had one of those. I never saw it running so I didn't know about the lighted panel, but I always thought it was cool because it looked like a washer. | ||

My ex-wife and I had the identical model, only in avocado. Half of the upper rack opens with the lid, making the bottom rack easier to load than a front load diswasher, since you're not always sliding the top rack ion and out to load it. Easily, one of the best performing dishwashers I've ever owned. | ||

Whirlpool Dishwasher
From looking at the picture it seems like it would be really annoying to load and unload because the upper arm looks like it is in the way. But maybe Im wrong. I remember in the day a few people I used to know had the GE power shower top loader dishwasher. That one seemed the most convienent to use. I also remember we had a relative that had a slide out GE from the early 60's that was a awsome dishwasher. I wish they made them like that today. Peter | ||

my daily driver This one has been in my Mom's kitchen for over 20 years now and still washes wonderfully. It's my daily driver now and it sometimes runs twice a day.

Quite a colorful kitchen! Funny how the cutlery bins are the same as the 60's models, and the bottom filter area looks like my former WP DW of circa 1985. (one of the last porcelain tubs, IIRC). Dows anyone recall the model & vintage oa a WP F/L-ing DW that had a telephone-like (pulse) dial as a timer dial? Blue tub. Bottom of tub like a modern Euro machine. Had an up & down "U" shaped door handle that was akin to a towel rack. Cutlery basket ran up and down the middle of the lower rack from front to back. I'm thinking early 60's. | ||

Thanks Tom. I remember you mentioning this before. I think it was the first DW I had ever seen........ My aunt's lasted forever, BTW with no repairs. It started leaking slightly and then one day ran endlessly without stopping. She repalced it with what would have been today a classic KA by Hobart. She HATED the reacking on the KA, BTW. Do't know how long the KA lived but there is a SS Electrocnic Kenmore living there now. I can guess she picked it to get the racking she liked back withe her WP. | ||

Thanks for the photo. It's an even different looking machine, but still brown. Is it in dry dock? | ||
