    I'm surprised this worked....

    I still say that is the most beautiful dishwasher ever built, imo, Paul. Glad to see it's working well for you!

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    I'll keep an eye out for a ka portable.  I'd prefer a front loader, but a top loader could done. I also have that RCA Whirlpool in Ohio that I'll get in the not too distant future.

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    I live alone. 3 meals in one day lead to a bowl, a plate, a cup, a storage container for a work lunch, maybe a pan or two, and the assorted utensils.  I don't wash my pans in the dishwasher (personal preference), so unless I have a party, it would take a week or two to fill the dishwasher.  It's...

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    Good eye John!  I was too busy looking for the leak to see the winding.   I'll look for a motor.  I don't really use a dishwasher that often, it's more for asthetics and occasional use.  I'd love a 60s KA portable but, a 14 or 15 series is about as late as I'd want.  I like to keep the house and...

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    Water test looks like it's coming from the motor.  I think it's one of the motor mount bolts, but in not sure.  It's not leaking bad, but enough.  It still doesn't explain the ton of water that came out of the machine though.

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    Update.... HELP! So in good news, I got the parts to make the water valve work!  I plugged it in... Nothing.  I had tested the valve, and had noticed when the value was off it was leaking water.  Turns out the pressure switch finally died.  I bipassed it and it and the valve fired up.  It...

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    Thanks Louis! Paul, I wonder if I can get the smaller inner diameter out of the simi-rigid pipe? I don't have the best water pressure, and I want to make sure I get enough out of the water out of the old girl to do what needs to get done. How does the D&M inlet tube compare to the G.E.? Thanks...

    1955 Kenmore portable dishwasher issues

    Tyler came the other week and I pulled out the 1955 Kenmore to show him.  Apparently the water valve solenoid has bit the dust.  I went to the appliance shop and got one that should work and modified it to fit the cabinet.  The only problem is that the inlet tube died.  Anyone have any...

    Lubricating the pressure switch on 68 Kenmore washer

    On Saturday, I set my 68 Kenmore 800 washer and went about my weekend chores.  I went outside about an hour later to see water pouring out of my garage.  After drying our the place, I figured out the water pressure valve had caught itself in reset and that's what caused the over fill.  What can...

    Vintage Westinghouse Dryer Lint Trap Location

    Newer machines had them on the top, but that started after that dryer's production was over. They had a funky two door system to get to it though.

    Westinghouse Laundromat in Hazel Park, Michigan

    Wrote the seller on the long shot chance that they might still have it or have the contact info of who got it. The seller was very nice, but the washer and info are long gone. C'est like vie. I had luck doing that a few years back with the LB-6 in WV.

    Free 1958 Westinghouse D-112 dryer in Hampton, VA

    Hey all,   Tyler can't take the dryer due to space limitations and I really hate to get the extra parts and scrap what is supposedly a working machine (with exception of the timer).  However, space is limited here and I need to get my 63 Mercury in the garage before the height of the hurricane...
