1962 Whirlpool

This is exciting!

I love the fact the machines are kept in the "FAMILY" so to speak....
The machine is well...just like the rest of my collection, just haven't been able to do much with it or them. I just get to find them and put them in storage, until the day I can relocate them to a more permanent place.
The truest case... was the return of my first toploader, I sold it to a neighbor when I moved to Dallas in 1982....with much regret...I agonized over it for years.
About a year ago, while checking CList one day.... I saw one...I called and in the conversation we realizrd it was mine...she had bought it from my old neighbor. 29 years later...a little more worn, it was home again.

The one we had also had both spray arms. It needed some work though which is why Mom got rid of it. It had a slight leak, and lost some of it's oomph, it didn't clean very well at all.

WELL

After many years of ignoring the obvious, my partner and I split, and I came here to Texas where I have friends to start over.

I want to find one of these machines.

One of the things I like about these Whirlpool dishwashers is/are the extreme angles of the cup and glass holders in the upper racks. Must help a lot with drying. Thanks for all the pictures. I don't think I ever saw a Whirlpool dishwasher until I was an adult. I remember seeing the Sears Kenmore machines with the round carousel upper racks, but never a 'pool.

I would say that the spray arm in the picture is the Lower Wash Arm with a Feed tube to the Top Rack Spray Arm

The Kenmore DWs were D&M. I had one that was a super deluxe with a bunch of buttons. I rebuilt the pump (D&M parts) and put it in the apartment my dad and I lived in. I also rebuilt plenty of them with the rotating upper rack. It seems that this Whirlpool in the thread was really well built and does a great job. Classic machine!

wash system seems the same

Is this the same era as the SKP55...this was from a previous post
