Older Westinghouse dishwasher near Wausau

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Is this a D&M machine, and worth the $250 asking price?  Looks to be in great shape cosmetically, and possibly mechanically as well.</span>

By this time, they had removed almost everything that had, at one time, made this a great dishwasher.

D&M?  What made earlier Westinghouse's better than this one?

 

[rollermatic]

personally i would not

give more than 50-100 for it. 250 seems very steep!

does not look like a d&m design to me.

Yeah, this one is most likely a WCI-design, especially in Almond!

Westinghouse Dishwasher

My Aunt had a Westinghouse dishwasher in Avocado back in the 70's.  I seem to recall that it had a push/pull timer knob.  Set the cycle and push the knob to start.  My memory is a little fuzzy, though so I could be wrong.  I do remember that it had a loud drain solenoid that would pull in with a SNAP.  It reminded me of a Speed Queen solid tub machine switching cycles.

If it is a WCI machine I'll steer clear of it, and yes $250 does seem a bit steep.  I had thought about letting my sister know about this one because her 4 year old GE has gone through 2 boards since it was installed, and she's pissed off.

look for a kitchenaid

and you can'tgo wrong! those things are built to last 50 years or more! i have a couple that age and still no leaks! and they wash great!

This is a WCI design and the racks look to be in pretty bad shape!!

That's a real Westinghouse, but by this time, as Tom noted, they had given it:

 

- a crappy shaded-pole horizontal-mount motor that ran all during the dry to "fan-dry" the dishes,

- racks with "glides" (rub-strips, but no wheels),

- a simplified tower that interlocked with the lower wash-arm,

- no particular filtration to speak of.
