This is such a weird design....Looks complicated to load. Would love to see it in action. A Go Pro movie would be amazing. | ||

Such a cool, yet odd design. Right! The upper part of the rack is SO weird! I’m guessing the open space between the upper “racks” is where dinner plates would go??? The rack design obviously limits putting in large items in to be washed. I agree, this is screaming for not only a GoPro / flashlight inside video demo, but photos of how you would actually load dishes in it! Very happy you were able to save this very unique dishwasher and install it in your museum! Kevin | ||

Tappan dishwasher
The big bake a light drum is very smooth, it probably would’ve been much more effective if it had bumps and ridges or something on it but I think they were worried about a dish or something coming in contact with it it is spinning at 1725 rpm’s so it does pick up a fair amount of water even without fins.
It’s carefully balance the motor is mounted inside the back half of the drum. John | ||

from an owners manual These pages show the two different rack configurations available. This dishwasher appears to have the same rack as the series 3 and 2 models. My manual has a date of 10/62 inside, so I imagine its for the 1963 models. | ||

Tappan!
This is really great that the DW made it over to the museum! Family friends of ours had the more TOL model with the full upper rack! It was a quiet machine for its time. I remember it was installed in 1963 when they remodeled the kitchen with a tappan gas wall oven and cooktop!
Steve thanks for posting part of the manual can you post the rest of it? John Best of Luck with the DW!

As long as you don’t use 3-to-4 quart saucepans, Dutch ovens, stock pots or very large mixing bowls in your cooking, the Tappan fills the bill, LOL. The only pots/pans they show in the racking illustrations are frying pans.

The Tappan Dishwasher A big thank-you Steve for posting the Manuel for these unusual DWs
At some point soon we will hook this DW up and actually wash some dirty dishes in it, I expect to be very disappointed.
30 years ago my Brother and I removed an unused one of these DWs from a house in Bethesda Md. I though it was so cool that we hooked it up and tried it out as I had just purchased a house in W. Va. and though in would be a perfect DW for the formal dinning are because it was quiet and would only be used for dishes.
Well the cleaning results were so terrible that I scrapped the DW, at the time I did not know that I would start collecting unusual DWs, Now I have just paid over $400 for the same thing, LOL

Wow! Thanks for posting the whole manual, Steve! I had no idea that liquid detergent for a dishwasher was available back then. I wonder who made "Clean" and "Bright"??
Now this really has whet my appetite. Next time one of these surfaces.... look out...LOL This post was last edited 09/19/2019 at 08:21 | ||

Let's just say I consider this to be the worst dishwasher I've come across all my life. Worst than spintube, youngstown jet tower,or 1 arm KA. I was around this from age 9 to 12 at least.
