Racks for an Inglis PD-39100 dishwasher

[qualin]

Hello everyone.

A friend of mine has an mid 80's vintage Inglis PD-39100 dishwasher. From the looks of it, it's completely TOL.

The top rack is very rusted and the bottom rack isn't doing much better.

He's tried to find replacement racks and hasn't been able to find them anywhere.

All I know is that the bottom rack from a Roper dishwasher fit perfectly. My guess is that a Whirlpool of similar vintage may have a rack which would fit. Other than EBay and Craigslist, does anyone know where these can be found?

Thanks!

Hmmm... I know of an appliance repair place near me in Montreal where there are lots of dishwasher racks of that vintage... Would you be able to post or send me a picture of the rack that needs to be replaced??
I've got a set of Inglis racks 'in stock' down in Ogden, but they are for a late 60s or early 70s machine...

All of the racks need to be replaced, both the top and bottom one.

Can you get me the contact information for this place? I'll call them.

Thanks!

Pictures

Damn, I didn't think to take pictures of the racks on the dishwasher before I left. It's at a friends place so I'd have to pop by and ask.

My guess it's probably the "Slant style" top rack... I could be wrong, does this look familiar? Does it have the door mounted basket?

(This is a Kijiji saved image, not my own DW. I wish it was though!)

Yeah, that looks familiar, but the colouring was blue, not white.

It actually has two door mounted baskets, oddly enough.. I've only ever seen Whirlpool/Inglis dishwashers with one only. They're both blue as well.

I had a late-80s Canadian Kenmore (rebadged Inglis) that had the two racks in the door - I loved the upper one for utensils like ladles, spoons and spatulas!

 

My partx guy is a francophone and he keeps really odd store hours - I will try to remember to bring my camera back to town next week and get some pictures (if I can get into the store!) of the racks he has available.    Just to give you and idea of his prices, though, he had a set of Maytag 'reverse racks' from a mid-80s machine that someone was interested in and he wanted $60 for (upper and lower rack plus the cutlery basket) but this was deemed too expensive...  I would guess the Inglis racks would be in the same price range.

OK, Thanks man.. If you get me pricing, I'll certainly let you know if they're interested. They're actually thinking about replacing the dishwasher outright. That would be a shame because it's a TOL model.
