Mostly dishwashers and garbage disposals. Off the top of my head:
The Incredible Shrinking Woman: Lily Tomlin falls into the garbage disposal The War of the Roses: Kathleen Turner loads a Jenn Air reverse rack and uses a disposal Ordinary People: Mary Tyler Moore uses a disposal The Last Married Couple in America: Natalie Wood loads a KDS-18 The Courtship of Eddie's Father: A Frigidaire spin tube gets loaded Mirror Mirror: Karen Black loses her hand in a disposal The Ice Storm: Joan Allen loads a KDI-15 Bachelor In Paradise: Bob Hope loses a battle with the disposal Ghost in the Machine: A kid sticks his hand in the disposal and later the dishwasher kills the babysitter Drop Dead Fred: Marsha Mason loads a Whirlpool dishwasher Any others to add? |

In "Who's Minding the Store" (1963),
Norman Pfiffer (Jerry Lewis) is attempting to repair a Hoover Convertible vacuum cleaner while a chagrinned Agnes Moorehead watches. the setting is in the appliance department of the department store Norman is working at. In the background are many home appliances (washers, dryers, disposals, etc.) including a row of beautiful RCA Whirlpool portable dishwashers. |

![]() Harriet Hillard aka Harriet Nelson of 1950’s TV “Ozzie and Harriet”, mom of Ricky and David Nelson, cooks for Randolph Scott on what appears to be a brand new electric stove, I believe it was a GE in she and her sisters (Ginger Rogers) tricked out San Francisco apartment.
BTW this is a pretty good 30’s RKO dancing musical with Fred Astaire also in the cast and Lucille Ball has a bit part too.
And on the “Ozzie and Harriet Show” their sponsor was Hotpoint and her kitchen had all Hotpoint appliances and she also did many of the Hotpoint commercials as well.

The scene in "The Accidental Tourist (1988)" where William Hurt's character gets a load of wash going in a Whirlpool Imperial (looks to be a 1986 model), then starts up the basement stairs. As he's going, the washer shifts into spin-dry, goes out of balance, bangs loudly, *AND A BUZZER SOUNDS*. This freaks out his dog, who trips up our hero, causing him to topple down the stairs leaving him laid up with an injury so that he's not able to do his job writing travel guides.
Um...what now? Possibly I'm wrong, but I never knew Whirlpools to have OOB buzzers. One of the sound engineers apparently went home and recorded their Kenmore and used that in the soundtrack, I suppose? It's as nerve wracking for me as those '70s TV shows where we hear the same Chrysler starter motor canned sound effect in any scene where a car engine is being cranked, regardless of the car's manufacture. |

![]() No WP old-style belt-drives had OOB switches far as I know, unless maybe very early 1950s. 1986 is at the tail-end of production. Whirlpool direct-drive Catalyst has an OOB because of the catalyst spin treatment, but no other WP or KA DD model that I'm aware. I recall mention that some KM direct-drive models (other than the Catalyst) had OOBs. |

Since Who’s Minding The Store was mentioned, I own a Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set that is EXACTLY like the one in that movie.

EuGene, lest we not forget the Tappan Fabulous 400, also making an appearance in "The Parent Trap." I didn't mention these as they weren't being used in the movie. But it and the dishwasher are, indeed, beautiful pieces of equipment (as is Maureen O'Hara, as well.)
Oddly, Mitch also has a built-it cook top in addition to the Tappan range. Maggie (Maureen O'Hara) is making Irish Stew, for Mitch (Brian Keith) on it. I doubt if there are any sci fi buffs on this site so you may not have seen the classic "B" science fiction film. "The Magnetic Monster," starring Richard Carlson and Jean Byron (Patty Duke's TV mom.) It also stars a whole row of brand new 1952/53 model Westinghouse Laundromats. A scientist, in his laboratory located on the second floor over a hardware store, magnetizes the entire store below and the doors of the Westinghouse machines keep opening and closing on their own. You can also see many small appliances, of the day, (percolators, skillets) in the hardware store. (BTW, Despite the silly title, this is a very well done film. You won't leave your chair in the last 15 minutes!) |

Guten tag! They did. Tom, a no spin combo? So you needed a mangle or took a long time in the dryer. |

Halloween h20 has a hilariously "scary" garbage disposal with sharp angled spikes (help me figure out wtf that looks like, it's so cheesy lol) that the protagonist character loses (drops) a bottle opener down and retrieves. |

In the movie'Hud" Patricia Neal has what looks like an early 60's Hotpoint washer or possibly an Easy on the back porch off the kitchen. In "Whatever Happened To baby Jane" Bette Davis has a Maytag AMP in the kitchen. |

![]() Thanks for posting that episode! That show was one of the great comedy lineup shows that CBS had in the early 1970's and was a terrific combination of talented people. I just love Betty White's character - she was just such a B*tch and, as noted above, the total opposite of her later character in TGG. All of the characters had great timing and could really get the laughs.

Also shown is a Frigidaire Flair. Sissy Spacek removes a cooked roast from it and takes it along as she and Christopher Walken head to the fall out shelter during the assumed nuclear attack.
The film clip below doesn't show the range. The still is of the kitchen in the fall out shelter with an identical unit.
