In the original movie of "The Parent Trap" the kitchen featured a Whirlpool dishwasher with the finger-hole telephone dial style control.
 
Westinghouse Laundromat's

EuGene, lest we not forget the Tappan Fabulous 400, also making an appearance in "The Parent Trap." I didn't mention these as they weren't being used in the movie. But it and the dishwasher are, indeed, beautiful pieces of equipment (as is Maureen O'Hara, as well.)

Oddly, Mitch also has a built-it cook top in addition to the Tappan range. Maggie (Maureen O'Hara) is making Irish Stew, for Mitch (Brian Keith) on it.

I doubt if there are any sci fi buffs on this site so you may not have seen the classic "B" science fiction film. "The Magnetic Monster," starring Richard Carlson and Jean Byron (Patty Duke's TV mom.)

It also stars a whole row of brand new 1952/53 model Westinghouse Laundromats.

A scientist, in his laboratory located on the second floor over a hardware store, magnetizes the entire store below and the doors of the Westinghouse machines keep opening and closing on their own. You can also see many small appliances, of the day, (percolators, skillets) in the hardware store.

(BTW, Despite the silly title, this is a very well done film. You won't leave your chair in the last 15 minutes!)
 
Moving: Richard Pryor turns on the garbage disposal and the kitchen goes haywire. He has a Jenn Air reverse rack that goes crazy when this happens.
 
I have seen many but do not recall any of the names, i do remember home alone when Kevin uses that crappy indexing plastic tub Frigidaire set and pour half cap of the still orange liquid tide of the old days on the softener dispenser and all around.
The OCD side of me gets really annoyed by that! 😂

Michael Keaton “Mr. Mom” 1970”s Westinghouse washer,1960’’s Kenmore Dryer
Kathy Bates. Dolores Claiborne 1970s Kenmore Washer
Meryl Streep She Devil 1980’s Hotpoint washer and dryer
Mary Tyler Moore uses garbage disposal and Kitchen Aide dishwasher
 
This morning, I saw the Dennis the Menace episode 18 from season 4 in 1963 where the pair of late 50s WPs were removed and replaced with one of those O'Keefe & Merritt monster no spin combos in the kitchen.  It was only because of that shot of the combo that I did not change the channel immediately.  That series must have had a set decorator from Eastern Europe; the rooms were awful in both the Mitchell and Wilson homes and the kid's voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard.
 
In "Family"with Kisty Mc Nichol and Sada Thompson they had a Frigidaire washer and a (probably)Kenmore Dryer or Washer Dryer
 
A Blast From The Past

I recall seeing what appeared to be a pre-1966 turquoise Maytag washer and dryer, as well as a turquoise Frigidaire flair, and GE refrigerator.
 
TWZ episode 10 from season 3, the Midnight Sun where the late 50s/early 60s Westinghouse window air conditioner is shown blowing those little tinsel streamers to show it working, like stores used to show, and then showing the streamers flopping down when the power goes out. 
 
Halloween h20 has a hilariously "scary" garbage disposal with sharp angled spikes (help me figure out wtf that looks like, it's so cheesy lol) that the protagonist character loses (drops) a bottle opener down and retrieves.
