white-westinghouse In checking, as near as I can tell Bob, White Consolidated kept the same basic design, for the 1976 model year, but made a few changes. They modified the pump assembly somewhat and put wheels on the lower rack. The upper and lower rack design remained virtually identical...

beautiful machine Hello John, In answer to your question, Absolutely!! You have a beautiful dishwasher there! You will probably have to do little to do to "bring it to life." GE's dishwashers have amassed outstanding reviews in performance and reliability from Consumer Reports and as...

Westinghouse I wish you lived closer, too, John. That would look very nice in your museum, I am sure. Do you know what the cycle progression is on the models with the detergent dispensers? Was it WRRWRR? Or did it have three final rinses and delete one of the two pre-main wash...

SU700 Michael, your Aunt must have had the top-of-the-line model, the SU700. It had two extra buttons for the "single wash" cycle and the "soft wash" (for china and crystal) cycle. The 500 and the 700 both had porcelain tubs, but the 500 was the typical Westinghouse dark grayish porcelain...
