Early Mechanical Dishwashing

[toploader55]

You're 100% right Tom

As I said, the machine cleans well. But is horrible in design. Our machine is 3 years old and we've already replaced the Rinse Pump, Drain Pump,fill solenoid,2 Main Circuit Boards,and a Start Switch. I am always walking by the machine closing the door to keep the heat in. The owner said she chose that machine because a Hobart wouldn't fit in the space. I told her she got bamboozled because there used to be a Hobart there. And they're all pretty much the same size for replacement reasons.As a tech told me many years ago when they started to incorporate circuit boards into Commercial Dishmachines "This is nothing but trouble. This kind of electricity and water just don't mix".

Hey STEVE

Have you checked out the Meiko ?

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, however I believe I just found an image of the absolute very first General Electric dishwasher from the early 1930's after GE acquired the Walker Dishwasher Company. Just wanted to put it here for reference as this is the thread it should go in...

Is that your downstairs kitchen, Robert?

That would have to be the sub-basement below the main basement Tom lol.

It is so beautiful, like something you would do, I thought maybe you had excavated out to the side. There was a rock group called the Walker Brothers and every time I heard their name, I used to think of the Walker Dishwasher people.
