Does anyone know of any 18" wide vintage dishwashers? I know of the Sears Kenmore Space Saver, but are there any others? Also, has anyone seen any of these Space Savers for sale recently? Thanks! | ||

i very rarely see those 18 inch models
for sale. i looked for years for one of the 18 inch D&M machines, finally found one in kentucky, then the guy wrote me and said it had frozen and cracked the pump so i didn't pursue it.
i did find one about 9 years ago up in troy ohio that i bought for 50 bucks. again thought it was gonna be a D&M brand but it turned out to be a completely different machine i had never seen before, with a montgomery ward name on it. i remember i took it apart and completely disassembled the pump and lubricated the seal, put it back together and it worked great, no leaks! i also remember that it was the day Whitney Houston was found dead! will never forget that. i still have it and ran it only a month ago, motor getting loud so not sure how much longer it will last but it's a fun little machine. and it cleans well and has a very long main wash time. i would still like to come across one of those sears D&M dishwashers but as said they are a rarity it seems. | ||

as long as the tub
is in good shape if i do find one i should be able to get it going regardless. i have plenty of pump seals, 2 extra motors, and a couple complete pumps. i'm gonna keep looking!
as far as mine being a frigidaire, not sure. it's sold under the montgomery ward signature logo. i'm not sure who made their stuff back in the 60s and 70s. i do remember they had dishwashers that were hotpoints with their name on them. | ||

Was this of D & M origins? Had to have been near the end of the run. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Cam2s's LINK | ||

Reply #7 That was the last of what looked a little like a D&M machine, but was conceived under FDs ownership.
These last ones suffered from cheap door hinges that bend very easily, latch problems and they had a terrible pump and motor just like all D&M machines and other than that the fact that water could not reach the front or back of the DW and the silly pop-up wash tower and racks that rusted badly these were not too bad, LOL.
