NEVER used GE dishwasher / sink combo

[gregm]

[gregm]

OMG - it's "Never Used" week! This is just beautiful, Greg, where will you put it?

 

[gyrafoam]

Beautiful find Greg! What is the big chrome knob for----opening the lid of the diswasher?

 

[gregm]

well ?

well I would LOVE to put it in my kitchen and it would really go with the "decor" but it also would involve some expensive "plumbing" and construction work so I don't have the money right now and don't want to "cut into" my boomerang counters that are only two years young. Yes the knob in front is for starting the cycle and/or turning the DW on. It has a regular, non-grounded plug hanging from the motor, and the drain appears to be a "gravity" drain out of the bottom so I may try to find a way to just rig up the DW and try it out to see if it works OK before installing but that will be down the road ........... I know , I know, I am "not" collecting anymore, LOL ...

 

[foraloysius]

Dear Greg,

Just remember, buying something new is not collecting!! Congratulations on your new GE dishwasher/sink combo! Is there a disposer too?

Louis

 

[gregm]

LOL ...

thanks Louis, yes it came with a never used / new disposer too, the disposer looks a bit "rough" on the outside but it was never installed, its VERY heavy, I would guess it weighs 25 lbs "ish"

Oh Fabulous Greg, I'm glad someone saw that posting and saved it. It looks just mint!

 

[tomturbomatic]

The two way handle on the front turned in one direction to unlock the lid; very nice since it was top loading and the lid spring loaded. This allowed the lid to be latched down when no dishes needed to be loaded. Once it was loaded and the lid latched, turning it the other way started the cycle. When the cycle finished, the lid popped open for dry. When the lid was opened all the way, the support rod on the right hand side latched into place to hold the lid up.

DishWash Electric!!!

Nice one Greg, definately needs to be in your kitchen later, or the utility/laundry room would be fun, had never had the chance to use any of these mature machines until last with Robert & Greg a few weeks ago, and fell in love with the quick wash n steam cycles,

MINT indeed, enjoy, Mike

 

[frontaloadotmy]

Very Nice

Greg! Is the air gap cover metal? I bet it is. Love the
unclad racks.

 

[petek]

What a fantastic find. Personally me, myself and I would never use it. I'd want to keep it just that way, unsullied.

 

[hoover1060]

very cool

How about some pics of the disposer too? Please?

 

[gregm]

air gap ...

jeff, i actually pulled the pics from this website from Robert's post back on 9/12. There is one of the disposal there. Darryl the "air gap" is chrome plated. Even the chrome faucet is never used although the chrome is slightly pitted on both the faucet and air gap. It still has the wood support underneath supporting the motor underneath the DW. The air gap is for the "fill" although regardless it probably allows the machine to "breathe" period but from the back is the copper piping from the fill up to the air gap and then a smaller, narrower copper line down into the side of the machine.

Even though it would look better in my kitchen, I'm glad you got it, Greg!!! Ha, ha. At least it's not that far away and I could always come and visit it!!

[hoover1060]

found it...

Thanks Greg, that an OLD disposal, I'd guess about 1950-ish...batch feed...

would love to see more when you have a chance

 

[gregm]

... ... ...

of course Ron ...... and yea, Jeff, I will try and take more pics later. I am guessing that the whole thing is around 1950 ish.

 

[westyslantfront]

Hi Greg. That is a beauty!. Sure hope to get to install it some day. Congratulations.

Ross

 

[gregm]

thanks ross ...

it doesn't appear to have a timer so I wonder how it knows when to fill, drain, etc. ??? and for how long ???

 

[hoover1060]

Thanks Greg...

I would love to see what the inside of that disposer looks like, as that vintage is not too far evolved from GE's original disposall, which came out in 1936.

InSinkErator's first disposer hit the market in 1938.

 

[appnut]

Congratulations Greg!! Beautimous

 

[bpetersxx]

Yes this would look stunning in the new bar area in the new laundry room

Is there a corner where this could be tucked into

 

[washertalk]

No Timer?

 

[Brent-Aucoin]

Wow!

What a find Greg!!!
So Nice!
I bet is even smells new!
Thanks for the pictures!

Timer

The dishwasher should have a timer, Greg. It's hidden, though; you'll find it underneath in a separate little box. My old Hotpoint dishwasher was the same way--no apparent timer; it hid behind the kick-panel.

Hi Greg~

wow, simply breathtaking!..gorgeous GE combo! It amazes me that this has never been used...Have lots of fun with it!

Also, any updated pics of the house?..

Take care and good to see you posting again.

 

[gregm]

timer yes ...........

the timer is listed in what they call a "control" box, five min wash, two rinses, ten min cycle, no heating element. I will guess that with such a short cycle that anything baked or stuck on would need "prep" first and that the water should be VERY hot. I understand that detergents back then were pretty "caustic" as well vs. todays. Hey Shane, no pics of the house other than the ones I posted a while back of the redone front exterior.

 

[tomturbomatic]

With no heating element, that machine is a real "oldie" because the heating element appeared in mid to late 1950 and by 1951, GE was introducing undercounter rollout tub dishwashers

 

[jetcone]

Wow

Its definetly new appliance month!

I can "feel" my NIB Bendix! HAHAHA!

Can't wait to come over come over red rover!
