 It has been a while since I have posted anything. My shaky hands are shakier than ever, but maybe the pictures from a new phone I got last month may help. I found this stunning, barely-used Frigidaire dishwasher last summer. It wouldn't run through a cycle due to timer motor issues. With help, the drive gears on both timer motors were replaced, the machine was tested and eventually installed in the kitchen in St-Liboire. I've been using it regularly and have been very pleasantly surprised by the results I have been getting. The Regular Wash cycle is what I use most but the Pots And Pans cycle has blasted off crud that the Whirlpool would never have coped with. I had a ton of dishes to deal with this morning and I challenged myself to cram them all in... | ||

60 minutes later...
Sparkling clean everything! I do like having the flexibility of loading large items in the bottom rack, but I have learned a few tricks to get items like bowls into that tiered Frigidaire upper rack.
I am especially pleased with the large cutlery basket and how well this Custom Imperial washes the cutlery. I had a Custom Deluxe top-loader with a Super-Surge was arm and it didn't do anywhere near as good a job! Even though the 63 Whirlpool is still in the basement (it needs a bit of tweaking to fix a pump leak), I think this Frigidaire will be around for a spell! Bonus that I have the 62 Flair range and a Canadian Frigidaire Imperial Cycla-Matic refrigerator in St-Liboire. | ||

My parents had this exact dishwasher in the same color. It matched their 40" Flair range, and side-by-side refrigerator. | ||
