This has to be more mid-70's as that is a GE design washer & dryer pictured in the lineup below. Hotpoint made washers ended in about 74-75. An aunt of mine had a very similar d/w to the POD model, hers was a few years old (and avocado) but had only one dial and printed graphics on the panel like this. I loved listening to that d/w run, that bottom spray arm had lots of power and with no insulation around the machine or door panel, lots of audio drama! The arm was a Hotpoint design - black tubular with long slots for water spray, not large round holes on the flat arm like the GE design. | ||

Nice POD, what year is it?
I remember those Hotpoint machines - Very noisey. To me this seems like a early 70's. Because as I remember by the late 70's most dishwashers had the energy saver dry switch. These basic models were installed in apartment buildings in new york. After all a land loard isn't going to buy quarlity for a tenent. Peter | ||

POD is from 1975
Actually the POD is from 1975. In ‘72 when I was a kid we moved into a brand new development of houses in central New Jersey . Most of the houses were equipped with this inexpensive Hotpoint "builder" dishwasher, but a version or two earlier. My parents opted out and got a Middle of the Line Maytag DW, but I also remember hearing this DW run at some of the neighbors homes and I agree with Pete, it was a loud dishwasher.

My sister had a similar dw in an apartment and I had a mid-late 60s versoin in my first apt. in college. Yup greg, you're right. I had forgotten about that black wash arm and the long slits. It did have pretty good spraying power. Some friends of mine moved into a brand new apartment, built in 1973, kinda upscane in a way. The HP dishwasher there must have been the next to last or last year. It had a black plastic control panel and said whisper quiet. Had normal & short cycles on dial. It actually was much quiter than mine and wash phases were longer. And yes, you largely heard just the calming droan of the motor and the swish swirl of the water action.

We had a 1953 Hotpoint Electric Sink....the instruction manual stated that Hotpoint was a division of the General Electric Company back then....guess Hotpoint has been a GE company for a long time... | ||
