Avant-garde D&M Frigidaire

There's something so awesome about seeing a D&M with brushed-stainless panels.

Besides secretly knowing that they probably aren't really stainless, that is.

Say "ahh..."

Yep, all D&M! With integrated Volkswagen separator module.

So you're going all the way to Albuquerque for this then?

Put David on the phone! LOL

IIRC you had one of these iterations at one time?

HAHAHA!!

I knew you'd fear for the KitchenAid's life on this one! :-D Rest assured there'll be no road-trip ;-)

I found the manual set for the 1991 Kenmore I had that had this configuration. A decent performer, but that top rack was a monster PITA. It was a carryover from the Westinghouse dishwashers as WCI hodgepodged designs together, and was notorious for having cross-ribs just wide enough to allow all your tumblers to fall over if you pulled the rack out too quickly.

Boo.

ribs just wide enough to allow all your tumblers to fall ove

Nate, that's why they are called tumblers.  ;-)

HA!

Touche, Bob! ;-)

That dishwasher moves about 60 gallons per minute thru the dishes. Its a powerhouse considering the Frigidaires built today pee about 5 gallons per minute on some models and 12 gallons per minute on others.

I loved ours...

Our Monkey Wards clone was awesome and lived in the kitchen for months and months. I never tired of it and it delivered great results. The monster wash arm on the roof of ours prevented sand and yiblets from redepositing on the tops of things in the top rack.

You had to (as instructed by the manual) clean the wash arms periodically to remove chunks of stuff that would inevitably plug the holes, which by this generation of machine had gotten pretty small. But it was easy to do, and they provided thumb-screws that were cake to take out and put back.

The motor fan shearing off the shaft finally did that machine in.
