Need help/advice with uni-coupler? for Frigidaire Custom Imperial Dishmobile

[mosalty]

Hello all...I need your help and advice. I have unearthed a i believe new Frigidaire Custom Imperial Dishmobile from my father's garage. I looked underneath it and there was a date of 11/2/1962 or 1967, couldn't tell also a number 7522184. Not sure what the number referenced. Anyways to my question. The Uni-coupler (if that is what it is called) which allows you to hook it up to a faucet appears to be missing something (compression fitting?). I took it to a reputable family run appliance parts store and they say they need the model # in order to search for the part or parts. I cannot find a model # where they said to look for it. I have enclosed some pictures for you to look at and advise.

Thank you!
Michael

Unicoupler

I think all you need is a faucet adapter to screw onto the end of your kitchen faucet, and then plug the plastic end onto the adapter. Nice dishwasher, if you ever want to sell, let me know!

Faucet adapters can be found at Home Depot or most hardware stores.  I think Marty is correct that an adapter is all you need.

There are really only two sizes of "quick connect" (that is the proper name of the part you are seeking) faucet adapters; large and small. Both are sold at Home Depot, Lowes and many other such places. Without the model number or otherwise knowing which one to use you have two options; disconnect the hoses and take them to the store to try various adapters to see which one fits, or purchase the various adapters and take them home and try.

Most plumbing/hardware stores are pretty reasonable about returns of unused items. Explain your dilemma and am sure they will let you return the extra after you find the proper fit.

WOW

Nice looking machine.

I'd say for newly "unearthed", it falls into the "Minty" Category.

Good Luck with Maiden Wash. And ditto to what Laundress said about the adapters.

Thanks for the answers everyone. I will go seek a "quick connect faucet adapter" and update soon.
