It sure looks lightly used, for an older Maytag unit(how old,though?).

Late 80s/early 90s.  The house in St-Liboire had one, I managed to keep it alive and running decently for 5 years but last fall I gave up and finally got the Whirlpool 'telephone-dial' dishwasher installed to replace it.

Whirlpool "Telephone Dial" Dishwasher

ovrphil's profile picture
Is that a feature that few know about(like me). Telephone dial?

Phil, it was a timer used on Whirlpool's built-in dishwashers from about 1959 until 1964 - the ads of the day said "As easy to use as dialing your telephone".   Here's a link to a thread from this fall that I posted about mine:

Needless to say, it's a cool and unusual dishwasher and I love it!   Also, one like this, in turquoise, can be briefly been seen in kitchen scene from "The Birds"!

I'll say. What stuff you find! I have never seen this before. It's quirky but cool and the color passes the PC test. haha! ;-) Thanks for replying and educating everyone on this. "One ringy-dingy. Two ringy-dingies. A gracious good afternoon, to which cycle am I speaking to, Rinse, Wash or Dry?"

Friends replaced their APEX with the telephone dial WP and one night after dinner, their sons and I cleared the table and loaded it. Starting it was a little anti-climactic because you only moved the dial a tiny bit from OFF to the start of the regular cycle when you put your finger in the first hole.

The Maytag

I had was like this but without buttons. Foced air drying, and for heated dry, you pulled the knob out. No sani-temp delay.

That’s almost a top of the line Maytag. Too far for me but a great item for someone closer

I bought the same Maytag model but built in, when I bought my house in late 1991. It cleaned everything, quickly but it was noisy. I loved the reverse rack design. I used it for about 17 years with no problems.

Higher end RR Maytags like this in a portable are very difficult to find. Hopefully it finds a good home. It may have a direct drive motor which is quieter than the belt drive models but can't tell without a model and serial #.

IMO some of the best DW's ever made

I love mine. I especially love the flexibility of the racking; when I have huge things to wash (like stock pots, roasting pans, wastepaper baskets), it's very easy to remove the top rack. Also, I use the quick cycle a lot for washing up after dinner parties; it works a lot like our professional under-counter dishwasher at work with the 5-minute cycle. Cleans like a monster. Also, the fan-driven drying system gets more drops off of the plastics than any other system I've used.

And I REALLY miss the days of colored vinyl coatings on the racks; DW's have become herds of visual conformists
