[ovrphil]

Did someone post these before? Like the simple lines of these appliances...even though these aren't TOL models(?).

Man, oh MAN!

What I wouldn't give to have that whole lot! Though I've never owned RCA Whirlpool stuff, style-wise, these are as fantastic as any comparable Frigidaire. That dishwasher is gorgeous (But I'd bet it wouldn't be an ideal daily machine…).

I love the set..especially the dishwasher, too. JohnL (combo52) - if he reads this ...any comment on this WP DW?

AAAARGH!  this is torture... I've seen this ad before and I'm trying very hard to resist the urge to see if they'd sell off the dishwasher separately.  Well, assuming all is still for sale...

I think that was a D&M produced dishwasher.  This might be a 1961 or 1962 model.  Neighbors on one side of us had an earlier version -- 1960/1961.  The racks were a dark turquoise.  bottom rack looked like this but the top was slightly different.  didn't have dual dispensers, just the single-dose screen.  Sequence was purge, wash, and 3 rinses.

The dishwasher is an impellor machine? 

 

[appnut]

Arthur, yes it is an impeller machine.

Thanks Bob!  The lower rack design, yet labelled WP had me confused.  A

RCA Whirlpool DW

This is NOT a D&M DW, it is an impeller machine, it has a plastsol tub and a GE motor with the SS bow-tie impeller, WP built this DW, this was a mid-line DW, their better models had a real lower wash-arm, and filter and worked much better.

 

Cool and rare machine in any case, you should get it Paul.

Turquoisedude - your cleared for take-off

Thanks Combo52 for the clarifications and giving Paul a reason to lift this.
