Great curb find dishwasher..

[volsboy1]

I would have never picked this dishwasher up but I liked the looks of it..Its a Frigidare 1994 Gallery Stainless steel dishwasher.The only thing wrong was a water valve and hard water.Its in great shape and it has alot of power it seems.It uses 13 gallons on super scrub and it looks like a Jennair kinda.The racks are perfect and I am shocked at this washers power compared to the Frigidares of today this thing moves water and alot.I am going to install it until I find my dream K.A. here are some Pics I think it looks modern but a retro look to it..

I want one of thoese old wash arms from the 70s with the little arm on one side but cant find one no where.ON another note the used applicance place I went to the other day when I was there he told me when I asked him to find me a 1-18 Washer he looked at me confused and told me he took 3 he had to the dump.He told me when I saw the way that washes I didnt think I would ever sell them and they were taking room up.The Landfill guys have buried them a crushed them they told me..I have NO luck it seems I also wanted to punch him in the mouth.I was MAD,he said how can a washer wash clothes like that?

Whoa, cool machine!

That's neat. I've never seen that wash mechanism--looks like a hypermodified D&M design. Does it just have the bottom level wash and the tower, or does it have other wash arms?

Congratulations, very cool!

That main wash arm when the pump starts it rises about a inch and the two tabs on it push the tower up and spins it.There is also a Top spray arm.It has every option on it the tines and flip slide and there in perfect shape both racks.What shocks me is the water amount moved you can hear it and feel it..I am dying for a K.A. dishwasher about a 1984 TOl one but I was driving down the road and right after the gate in our community it was sitting there..David(rent a cop) told me they just droped it off and its broke.The water valve was full of minerals we have HARD water..I really like they way it looks strange and it has a hell of grinder in it.I droped a plastic washer and it got it and ground it to hell.. Its a D&M design cauz its a 1994 Model and for a Tower wash system it does very well.I thought about using a Maytag jetclean 1 tower that bobbles around thoese were great dishwashers.

I had that d/w in a rental house here in Michigan. It was a good dishwasher...the last of an era for Frigidaire. I posted on here the great help I got from Frigidaire customer service when trying to find an exploded parts drawing because it broke an impeller.
