That's an old Westinghouse Dishwasher.
That brings back some old and bad memories. When we first moved to Ohio we had to move into a rental home for a few months while ours was being built. It had that dishwasher only I remember ours having a few more buttons. My mother hated it!!
It was loud as can be and as I recall didn't clean all that well. That would have been late 60's early 70's. I think it was in '69 to be exact and the house we rented was new so that machine should be dated around that time. Actually, I think it was the same color too!

I wonder when Westinghouse dishwashers took a turn for the worse; they seemed to be among the front-runners in the early Sixties. That stove intrigues me. I'm almost certain it has that 3-element oven where two of the elements can be used in tandem for speed broiling. These appliances aren't more than 15 miles away from me. I don't need any of them, but I'm very curious about that dishwasher. Maybe I'll go take a looky-loo, as intolerant sellers like to say.
Ken,
Is the stove and fridge Westinghouse too?
On a different note Ive determined the mini-basket I was considering buying is the smaller size and wont work for my washer. You had said you would trade me with one you had if I got it and it turned out to be the wrong one. If you (or anyone else here) is interested in it I'll put you in touch with the seller. She has the mini-basket, lint pan and softener dispenser for $25.00

Gee, were they bought by Whirlpool too? (<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ralph ducks and runs!</span>)

Linoleum
I know linoleum is available one again but why doesnt some company start making all the cool colors/designs/patterns of inlaid linoleum that was once made? There were countless designs that were so cool and colorful. Whats available now is pretty bland stuff. Only solid colors and no patterns from what Ive found.

It is hard to tell, but I think I see the rectangular filter in this machine. If so, it was a sibling of the model check-rated by CU in the 1965 DW report. The machine's quality went south when they got rid of the filter.

I had the model below this dishwasher in 2 apartments my junior year in college--would put the machine at about 7-10 years of age at that time. Compared to the mid-to-late 1960s Hotpoint in the previous apartment, this one kicket butt and got rid of the yibblits on my glasses the Hotpoint left. And it held a heck of a lot more dishes and pots & pans. I vaguely remember John L (Combo52) (or it could have been Tom) who stated this early Westinghouse front load dishwashers were very similar to a KA12. It made similar noisese throughout the cycle that's for sure. Personally, it was one of my more favorite dishwashers of the period with cleaning results and capacity.
