1972 Maytag dishwasher

[steved]

Looks to be in nice condition. Price is a little steep, but who knows. Early model with figure eight sump cover. Located in the mid-Hudson Valley of NYS.

1970s appliances always get me lol.

Does anyone know why it some manufacturers placed the knob and timer several inches below where they would normally go in the 80s?

I have this model and the WP-600 works the same way

So it would be easy for the user to see the cycles printed on the outside rim of the control knob. Even though there are three option buttons on this machine, the cycles are selected from the dial that is turned to one of 4 different points before the machine is locked and actuated. IMO these Maytags were/are great (but loud) dishwashers.

 

I think a lot of dishwashers like GE's were designed this way.
