I fainted briefly when I spotted this... IIRC, this could be the 1959 model since it has the 'telephone dial' timer control. And it's turquoise! I am sick that I can't act faster on this (I'd love the chance to pretend I was Lydia Brennan using it... LOL) but if someone else can save it, please do!!

WOW Paul, this is SO interesting, I have never seen or even heard of a dishwasher with this "telephone dial" control, very cool!

If the machine is what I think it is, the wash arm would look like this one. This is in my '61 Whirlpool top-load portable, so the racks would be totally different, more like in the 2nd picture (a 1964 model)

 The model appears to be SKU-90-0 (K = 1963?). Serial PR358497. How does that translate? | ||

no doubt about it... ...that is very cool. Now of course you'd have to buy one of those Seeburg Console Stereos and hunt for the elusive remote control unit too. | ||

I found these photos from a old posting - is it the same machine - doesn't look like it has 2 level wash?

Whirlpool bow-tie dishwasher
Next door neighbor had that dishwasher from when the house was built Spring 1961. Tomturbomatic has discussed this before. It was so cheaply made, the bottom rack slid on a molding from the tub being formed initially, I don't think the rack had roller wheels on it. Tom can correct me if he sees this, but I think this was made by American Kitchens and/or D&M. The dishwasher wasn't made by GE--GE didn't even offer one with a drop-down door and racks that pulled out.

Doubt it Hi Peter, I don’t think GE ever made dishwashers for Whirlpool. I think this was their first foray into constructing their own machine. Their previous models were the American Kitchen/D&M design. Looks to me like they were borrowing ideas from both GE and D&M, with a little Hotpoint (recirculating system) thrown in. An early Haier dishwasher? LOL! | ||

Machine is later than 1959
I have an issue of Consumer Reports December 1959 issue and it rated dishwashers and the RCA Whirlpool FU-70 was top rated as it had two washes instead of one and a very effective filtering of the wash water. It did a very good job at cleaning dishes. This machine has to be newer as the control panel is newer than the picture they show in CR. Your machine may prove to be a later edition of this machine. Good Luck with the phone dial Whirlpool machine.
