This is the Fedders/Tappan/whatever design, not a D&M rebadge. It would appear to be model KDU2480A. In case you need to get worked up by the brochure: http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?32806 http://tucson.craigslist.org/app/5959646421.html

I was graciously given a heads-up as to this little gem on Craigslist, and I couldn't say no.  Because, you know.  Dishwasher.    However, she did not start out as a gem.  When I loaded her into the car, an absolute cornucopia of terror of cobwebs awaited.  Vacuuming them out was like...

Someone needs these. http://tucson.craigslist.org/app/5454363118.html

Hi everyone! The lovely sixties Roto-Rack, still the apple of our eye, is now the apple of our eye in the living room, and the Maytag JetClean is pinch-hitting, due to some unicouple-related events. The original unicouple tossed its ball bearings down the drain when the original collar...

Hmmmm...

Two of my favorite, keep-'em-till-I-croak machines need attention at the moment, because only the ones we love try to hurt us. :-) First up is the very much beloved Frigidaire 1-18 that Kevin gifted us, model number WCD3T, serial 31EG 5834. (Jon, is this a T-line? :-) Do I have other...

What a stunning machine. Was the lint filter on this effected similarly to the solid-tub Filter-Flos of the time? The integrated Hotpoint crest-chute for the WonderRinse is immensely clever, but--to turn a phrase from "Two and a Half Men"--trying to get a bottle of softener to pour cleanly...

Uh-oh.

...brought to you by the 1963 Westinghouse Laundromat:    

It's true--even on just the regular Full Steam cycle without Sani-steam, you can get extraordinary results if you turn that water heater up, and use that phosphated detergent. Incoming water temp is a solid 140°F. The phosphated detergent not only takes care of particulates--and that's not...

Ralph... :-)

When Kevin was here, we had a fabulous meal of pot roast with root vegetables, cooked in his beautiful LeCreuset Dutch Oven, along with forty-five second ice cream in his VitaMix blender. (Well, thirty-three seconds, actually, but more on that in a bit.) We started by pre-heating the oven to...

Our very own RevvinKevin came for a visit to our new home on Sunday, and spent a fantastic day with us. It started with a surprise lurking in his truck when he arrived--what could it be??

Always loved the look of these--and this one has the warmer-top! :-) http://tucson.craigslist.org/app/4561537112.html

Our beloved Montgomery Ward topload impeller dishwasher pooped the bed last week (the GSD1250 is now in its place, so that's okay). Tonight, our equally beloved Wards top-loader finished the cycle at 10:00 PM with a full load of clothes and hot water in it. Mysteriously, the timer had advanced...

I actually have this washer--well, the control panel. It's a nice machine if you don't mind Westinghousian washers, which, if you were looking for a GM Jet-Cone 1-18, you probably minded very much. The washer is considerably skinnier front-to-back than its GM counterparts--so much so, that it...

David found this at the local Teen Challenge, and one trip to RadioShack (RF modulator and matching transformer) later, plus one digital converter and rabbit-ears, and we have lift-off! The Packard Bell is a lovely, complete with axis-tuner, ultrasonic remote (just like the STAR), and Garrard...

Cool-looking range. Who made these? http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/app/4495886454.html

Hi everyone, I'm trying to revive the very handsome and otherwise-in-nice-condition Chambers D&M dishwasher, but I need a replacement top rack--this one is shot beyond belief. I've attached pics of what the roller mounts look like, and the shape/size of the rollers; I know D&M was all over the...

"Keep clam and proofread." I wonder if there was much groaning regarding the quality control of the ad copy? :-) "Now you see it..."
