If the washer had a D-shaped tub opening, it's a belt drive.

When I was a kid, we subscribed to the World Book Encyclopedia Book of the Year. I remember when there was a picture of the exhibit in the book of the year. I used to look at it often. John and Jeff saw it too and when they went through Chicago decades later, they made a stop at the museum. The...

This machine shared the same top rack with the GE top load dishwasher where the lower rack was loaded by removing the lift out section of the top rack, just like this one unless the entire top rack is removed.

This version only had the two speed motor and the agitation shifted from high speed to low agitation speed after the first four minutes of the normal wash cycle. The agitator had small fins at the base with curved fins on the barrel.

It is interesting to note the difference between the effect of the agitation on the fabrics in the square tub and the round tub.

Most portable dishwashers in the 50s and 60s were toploaders and Maytag was late to the show. This machine did not have a water supply to the lid like Maytag did and it did not have the lid springs with so much tension on them that they sometimes cracked the back wall of the tub.

Thanks, Glenn. If it is moving quickly, someone must want it. That's good.

Thank you both. AW people are the best. I remembered the big dial on top of the front panel. I was curious about the three stage washing action which was touted in the sales poster I saw so I wandered over to it and read about it. It was across from the check out registers where women would have...

I saw a dishwasher like that at Grants under the BRADFORD name.

I use my KA when I wash my king blanket. I fill the tub to the lowest water level add detergent and the blanket. Then I pull the drain hose out of the pipe and set the timer to drain and use it like one of the Calypso/Resource savers holding the drain hose into the tub to force water through...

How in the hell is that worth $750? It's not even pink or turquoise, not that they were available then.

Well, if you do put a 12 qt pot in the bottom rack, you don't put something above it. After holiday meals we used to put the 18 qt. insert pan out of the Westinghouse roaster oven in the lower rack of the 15 and scatter smaller items like bowls and plates around the perimeter of both racks and...

When our 15 was new, I used to hold the door open, hold the door switch in and push the Full Cycle button. It was fun to watch the little jets of water start spurting out of the wash arm. If I let go of the door switch, all of the water would drain back into the sump and if I pressed the door...

Oh WOW, an under the sink dishwasher.

In Ventura, CA at 223 S. Laurel Street, phone # 805 641 9227 A retired friend sent me an email today with this link saying, "I am not sure why I thought of you," and we all know the answer. In spades. So for everyone who's always bitching about all of the neat appliances being someplace else...

If you will look at ads for the Wash Arm GE machines, the text states that the wash arm washes up, the pop up power tower washes OUT and the power shower washes down. The only "UP" is from the wash arm at the bottom. Even the Maytag DWC4910 convertible portable has a pop up spray tower with two...

The consumer testing mags never loaded anything but plates and saucers in the lower racks and glasses and cups in the upper rack. It was like they were not aware of what people put in the machines so they never gave credit for separate water sources for the top rack and never tested a machine by...

There are secrets to loading the pre-18 KAs . I remember putting an 8 qt Farberware sauce pot in the very middle of the bottom rack of our 15. Glasses sit along the sides of the upper rack and bowls are loaded from the center of the upper rack facing outward. The water patterns from the 4 way...

That's a whole lotta money for stuff that old especially in Avocado. I would think that inside shots of all three appliances would be in order at most any asking price.
