Another dishwasher...

[philr]

No cycle lights? I thought they were 100% Whirlpool clones!

Out of room?!

 

It might happen but this isn't the first machine I want to part with at the moment!

 

It's currently my only Inglis/Whirlpool dishwasher (well, I do have that BOL bow-tie-GE-impeller thing in my collection of plastisol wonders that contains mostly Frigidaire stuff otherwise!).

 

Unless I find a really nice Food Life Preserver fridge...

Then I would have to make more room ;-)

 

Of course, I just got it, I might change my mind later...

 

Apparently, only fools never change their mind!

 

LOL!

Isn't there a 'Canadian Content' rule for our collections here, Phil??   I've used THAT excuse on you-know-who and it kept a certain Inglis washer and dryer out of the crusher.... LOL 

 

[philr]

Isn't there a 'Canadian Content' rule...

That's right Paul! Having some Canadian machines is what dragged me into buying my Inglis Superb and my Inglis Royal 100 washer/dryer sets and my RCA washer!

This dishwasher is a lot newer. The styling didn't change very much.

PhilR - you sure do find some sweet-looking machines. This is definitely a winner, in looks and it sounds like a good performer. Some of the Inglis products have great design appeal.

Remember, you may need to add on to your house soon.

Brian, the dishwasher you posted is the exact model my grandparents had when I was a kid. They got it when or very soon after they built their new house in 1978.

I believe the aeration for gentler washing was achieved by shortening the fill so that there was less head pressure developed by the pump.

 

[mytechtime]

I'm certain it's a Whirlpool made unit -
The knob is the exact same on my DU3003XL0, and the filter grill is the same, but in mine it's blue. The tub also appears to be identical - detergent dispenser, float, water inlet, etc.

Aerated water

What a cool idea, never heard of that before !! 

 

And Eddie!!! Whats Mike Mercury doing on your Avatar, trying to scare off Ben & Cory??

Aerated Water

Ge used that same principle when they came out with their first under the counter machines after they retired the Pull Out tubs. The Crystal China Cycle on the TOL was a aerated Wash (Partial fill). The TOL  had four cycles : Daily Loads, Pots and Pans, Crystal China, and the ever so popular Rinse and Hold.

 

And Yes Jon !!!

 

After Ben and Cory watching SuperCar I jumped right on that photo. Extra Credit for noticing that !!!

Brian, I just found a picture of my grandparent's dishwasher from 1982. Unfortunately, I'm partially hiding it and everything is out of focus... 

 

[rpms]

You were a cute kid. At first glance the dishwasher looks like a Maytag.

 

[philr]

It's the exact model that you sent in the previous picture. An Inglis Royal with two indicator lights. My parents had an older one (also Inglis Royal) with the larger knob (the instruction manual I posted above is for that model CSDU 8000) which I think was from the same years as my Royal 100 as I have pictures showing this dishwasher that are dated as being of January 1978. Unlike the US models, I think the Royal 100 kept the styling from older Inglis models while the rest of the lineup looked almost exactly like Whirlpools. 

 

Pictures showing children happen to be the right height to show the dishwasher's control panels! I'm on the right on this picture and I found another picture of me in 1980 in a rare occasion where I was looking at the camera! <span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I was still far from my current weight of 325 pounds then...</span>

I don't know..I remember being that young, but the world became proportionally a whole lot older…give me a few younger years back, dammage. :-[) You were a cute little kid.

Looking at your dishwasher there, PhilR, if we had a dishwasher, I'd be playing with that thing - my mom would have to keep me restrained. Lights, water, interesting sounds would be irresistible. Few had dishwashers; large families used their kids to wash dishes.

 

[philr]

Every member of my family had to practice the manual "rinse and hold" in the sink before loading the dishwasher! We couldn't put any dishes that didn't look clean in the dishwasher! When the racks started to disintegrate, the dishes looked dirtier after we run it as there was some rust stains on the plates from the rusted tines!

Inglis and English control labels.

I was just thinking of John Inglis who started this company 150 years ago, and wondered if he /the company…ever manufactured appliances with French only label controls? Not that it would win the hearts of most Canadians, but thinking about some of you who live in Quebec and maybe prefer seeing French (not suggesting Quebec nationalism expansion, lol). My thought was just, did Inglis offer an option in labeling or do you have PhilR /Turquoisedude any Canadian-made appliances whose controls are labeled in French.

merci'

Phil

 

[philr]

I don't think they did French-only control panels. Some were bi-lingual like those on my "Royal 100" washer and dryer. Bi-lingual controls were mostly seen on late 1970's and 1980's machines but that's not always true. For example, this dishwasher has Engliah-only controls and it's from the late-1970s and the Royal 100 set is from the early-1970s... I have also seen a 1967 "Enterprise" range that had bi-lingual controls and the later ones, even if they kept the same control panels did away with the French writing. I also have illustrations showing a 1966 Frigidaire range with French-only control panel which was apparently available but I have never seen one of those. 

 

[ovrphil]

Bi-lingual would make most sense - missed the obvious, there. Could you send me a photo of that 1966 Frigidaire range with the French-only control panel(to my gmail account?).

Thank you, Phil.

I wish I'd kept a photo or two, but I had a 70s Canadian GE washer and dryer set with unilingual French control panels! 

 

I remember Inglis dishwashers in particular having 'iconic' control panels - a picture of a saucepan for the ScourWash cycle, a stack of dishes for the Normal wash, a small stack of dishes for Light wash, etc.  The GE we got in '78 had a similar control panel and the 87 GE that was installed in my first house still had this kind of panel.
