Early 70s whirlpool portable convertible dishwasher
Hi Mark, good find this was a very rare model. Of course they had a built-in version as well. I’ve probably only ever seen one or two of these in my life. whirlpool didn’t tend to sell a lot of high-end. They usually didn’t make it into the big stores because they were expensive And only went to people that asked for top-of-the-line or maybe somebody that knew somebody at the distributor, etc..
This would probably be about 1972 model , whirlpool had quite a few pump problems in this era. They were still working out reliabilityproblems. The pump was probably almost as bad as a DNM or a Frigidaire , wasteking , hot point or even Maytagaround this time. In reality, the only Dishwasher that had a truly excellent pump was KitchenAid in the 60s and 70s. John L | ||

That's great news, Alan. Saturday will be an exciting day for you! With the Mark 100 next to your dining table, you'd be able to carve and keep your food warm and then load up right there and then at the table and wheel it to the kitchen! That would certainly be a talking point when hosting a candlelight supper 😁.
The KD14 is a great score too and will bring back memories for you. I had the pleasure of seeing a portable TL dishwasher running at John Lefever's home. It's a cleaning powerhouse for sure.
Enjoy Mark | ||

Two great fun, portable dishwashers
Hi Alan, we’ve always wanted to find one of those KitchenAid‘s like this one with the cast-iron washer and the detergent dispenser. That should be a pretty good dishwasher, the one we have is the model afterward where they went to the more modern pump in the four-way Hydro sweep arm and it does a great job as Mark can attest.
That whirlpool portable was a very advanced dishwasher and features and performance in its day as usual. It looks like it’s had almost no use which is so typical with many portable dishwashers. People just didn’t bother using them, but they sat around and because they weren’t built in they didn’t have to be professionally removed so they don’t tend to get thrown away as often., The one you’re getting still has the original Delco Turbo pump with the original style filter hopefully it’ll still be in great operating shape like the rest of the dishwasher. You can put the newer whirlpool filter pump in that if it has a problem, you could even drop the power clean pump in that dishwasher that would be a lot of fun Let us know how they run. John L | ||
