I'm looking to find an early '70s (ideally 1970 or 1971, but very late '60s would also work) Hotpoint built-in dishwasher to complete my kitchen.

I'm located in WA State but would be willing to arrange shipping for the right one.

Anybody know of one in need of a loving home?

Its a shame

You didnt want one 7 or 8 years ago, there was a old Firestone store here in NC that had two brand new portables on the floor, one was low end one top of the line avocado, had that turquoise shower tower thing, Whisper Clean,,lmao, If you are in the next house lol, great cleaner but the noisiest machines ever built,

Still looking...

We're just about to install the 1977 HDA700. I'm very happy to have it (it's in great shape and it's still Hotpoint from the 1970s) but would leap at the chance to find a circa 1971 built in Hotpoint dishwasher.

Saw this today

They want to sell as a set but maybe it's worth looking into. In Oshkosh, WI.

We've seen a few of these come up over the years from this same era - early 70's.   My aunt in KC had the HP in pic #1-2, always loved the sound of the water swishing when it was running and the scents of vinyl/porcelain/chlorine/bakelite when finished.  Reputed to be a positively pathetic performer, all dishes were thoroughly washed before loading.  Drinking glasses and coffee cups were allowed to enter un-rinsed.  Only tableware, never pots & pans, prep utensils.

Real Hotpoint DWs

combo52's profile picture

Like in posts 3 and 6 were just awful DWs overall, noisy lackluster performance, Jeff and I fixed hundreds of them back in the 70s but few were still around by the later 80s.

 

Really the only great performing DWs from the late 60s into the 70s were Kitchenaid, Whirlpool, Maytag, and Westinghouse.

 

Today out of this group a KA is your best bet followed by a seldom used WP or MT, Westinghouse was also a great performer but as unreliable as the Hotpoints.

 

The HPs  had terrible motors and pumps and the sumps would rust out and the motors would fall out. They also would leak from about everywhere a DW could leak, door gasket, around the float and the pump and motor itself.

The big issue

Was the noise, you really can not imagine how noisy they were and they were 1725 rpm motors you would think they would be quiet, but they sound like a cross between a chainsaw and garbage disposall.
