Retro Orange Frigidaire Set (Des Moines) Range & Dishwasher

[piemaker]

For fun, I was looking for something similar to my Frigidaire Deluxe electric range that I still miss. I am close enough to Iowa that this popped up. Wow! Orange is my favorite color. Des Moines, $150

An Imperial dishwasher in Poppy. I have a similar 1975 Custom Deluxe in Harvest gold and a 1969 Custom Imperial in Avocado. This one has the optional aluminum front panels with bright edges. The dishwasher has a polypropylene door and white interior so it's from around 1973-75. The model number is either DW3-IUU (1973-74) or DW-IU (1975).

 

The Compact 30 range is a 1973-74 RBE3-533W. It's the self-cleaning version without the Speed Heat or Heat Minder burners. You can tell it's not one of the earlier models because it has vent holes at the top of the oven door.

The matching refrigerator was, more then likely, the top freezer style refreshment center they had out that era. The other poppy favorite was the three door side by side. You could order one with a built in radio recorder for messages. FRIGIDAIRE BOTHERS TO BUILD IN MORE HELP.
