I just got an unusual top-loading dishwasher!

I was quite happy to find this! Last year before the slant top models.

It's still in my truck, I'll post more when I get back home!

Nice!!

 

[philr]

It even has a fluorescent-lighted panel!

150 degree wash too!

Frigidaire washing system (but unlike the later slant-top models, I think this one has a regular D&M pump, I haven't looked at it much...

 

[tomturbomatic]

Nice D&M Machine.

"The Sweeper, The Scrubber and The Drencher" Love those terms, no excuse for not having clean dishes now.

Beautiful find, Phil, can't wait to see that lit up.

 

[Ultramatic]

Oh wow!

 

 

Now that's a sharp looking machine! Congratulations!

What a great find!  I have one that I have never used that is branded "Philco".  I have ran it, but never used it to wash dishes.  You will love the sound of the motor when it starts.  Such a unique sound.  Also lot's of splashy sounds hitting the outer tub.  It does move a ton of water while washing!

 

Yours is in much better shape than the one I have. 

 

[philr]

Brent, please send pics of your Philco!

Here are some more of mine!

Now the lights and the push buttons:

Here's the ad for the previous year's DW-ITL model, the only difference I can see is that this one has no light switch.

Mine certainly is one of the last GM Frigidaires with a porcelain interior or one of the few with the Super Surge wash action and a porcelain tub! D&M porcelain is still much better than that blue Plastisol coating that Frigidaire used on it's other models then!

Frigidaire certainly made some flashy and unusual appliances back in the day...

Just Beautiful Phil.
