That motor looks almost the same as a Blackstone 350 motor; I saved about a dozen of these. I'll check the specs on my motors. Not sure about the length of the shaft. Yours for the shipping, also. Fred.

Just checked the shaft length and diameter......1/2" diameter and the length is 1 and 5/8ths. I thought it looked like the motor in my Blackstone too Fred.

What a beauty
Nate, congratulations! I love that flesh-tone pink color and the styling. Definitely one of the better-performing impeller dishwashers as well, aside from Kenmore. All of these new finds have me even more excited to get up there next year. Especially this one...I'd love to see how it does with a good Bob-load. And I bet Bob is too, LOL!

Dude Nate - what a fantastic save there! The start button is the best part of the machine - no bells, no whistles, just load her up, and push start! And in pink - too cool.
The motor shouldn't be much of an issue, looks like a standard belt drive motor - or if you need some help finding a new one, take it down to Grainger, those guys should get you hooked up in no time.

Also...
Since it's not a disposable T-frame, could you possibly take the motor to a motor shop to be rewound instead of replacing it?

YAY!!
And YES, the fan would spin during the drying cycle to quickly air dry the dishes. -- Thanks, Jerry, that's good to know--how fun! :-D I'm also glad to hear that they have good capacity. I love the story about the slighted GE built-in that decided to run on its own. How fun! See? An unused appliance is an unhappy appliance :-D
Tucson was a wonderful experience and we all owe a debt of gratitude to Ross and Roger and Nate. Thanks, guys. Love you. -- Aw, thank you so much, Jerry. It was great to get to meet you, and it was definitely our pleasure!!
Maybe it is a little thank you from up above for all your wonderful hospitality! -- Thank you, Rich!! :-D If it is, it's one heck of a thank-you!!
Thats just a cool find! And PINK; FABOOO PINK; Titty Pink; Maimie Eisenhower Pink too boot! -- ROTF!!!! I think I shall henceforth christen this "Titty Pink," the Mary Kay dishwasher, in your honor :-D Look at how pink it is! It makes the turquoise Kenmore next to it look white!
You know I used to have a motor just like that from a Kenmore washer, let me look around if I still have it its yours for shipping. A kenmore motor would work since they were one speed one direction also. In fact any kenmore motor should work. -- Thank you SO much, Jon. I'd really appreciate that.
Nate, that's definitely not the BOL model. The racks here are separete sliding. The bol, the top rack sat on top of the bottom rack and had to be removed (parked on drainboard or countertop) for loading the bottom rack. Next year you'll have this running. This is one of the DWs I was exposed to a lot when I was very young. It was a very popular brand in Dallas. -- Then I'll look forward to seeing you load it, Bob!! :-D That's very good to know, and I had forgotten about those stacked racks. Nifty!! And yes, it took us a while to figure out those detergent dispensers. Roger figured out how it worked--GE sure had a penchant for not using solenoids or electricals to dispense the detergent, didn't they?

I was really surprised to hear that this machine was one of the better performers, and I'm very excited. I don't care about loud. I likes me some results! :-D The electric pump option certainly is icing. I like it when the machine can do the draining itself, and you don't have to reinvent the wheel to get around the gravity drain. Yay!!
Yes, Ross, I'll have to arm-wrestle Beth Ann and Justin over this one. And no repainting it--that's porcelain! :-D

Oh that is a nice find!
Hi Nate, wow that is a beautiful find. I know we saw a lot of those GE impellers up at the parts place in Phoenix so you might be able to find a brand new one for it.
As for the motor, that look pretty standard. If you find a similar GE motor, but the shaft is different you can take it apart and switch the armatures between the two motors, because the part that is toasted is the stator.

Nate what a great find!! Roger was telling me about it this afternoon on the phone. We had friends that had this machine and they really liked it. I never really got to load it but always wanted to. It would be fun to turn it into a portable and be able to use it. Love the "pank"
Very cool - love that big start button, no confusing knobs or pesky choices!
Great save, Nate - have fun!

Nate, the steam whafting out of the top of that machine while it's running. Some of my earliest 5-7 y/o memories--complete with 1950s smelling Cascade. This was the same family who had the frog-eyed kemmores (the white/gold faced washer & dark blue/green faced dryer) and then the slant-front westys. This dishwasher served this family well from the time they moved into the brand new house in early to jmid 1950s until they moved into their new built house in 1965 or 1966. and this as a family that grew from 2 kids to 6 before they moved out. So that dishwasher got a lot of use. I remember when we visited on weekends, it was run after each meal. I think the particular installation may have been a gravity drain scenario. I don't really remember the soilenoid klunking when it wwent to drain. But I do remember how it sounded different when the drain closed and water started coming in for the next fill. Dishes baked dry that's for sure. Top rack is kinda awkward to load. You'll have to pay attention now to the Hotpoint PIDs with this style DW. I'll prolly be rinsing dishes b4 I put them in here, or scraping pretty well. No just "dropping" them in like I did with a certain vintage brand of dishwashers during the last two Tuscon visits.

Blackstone motor
The motor from a Blackstone 350 is very similar to your motor. The shaft measures about 2" from the end of the endplate, and 1/2" diameter, with a flat spot. My motors are 1/3 HP. The screws holding endplates are shorter, so you would have to use yours. Problem is the weight--25 lbs. Parcel Post from here to Left Coast is $31.

Robert -- Yay! Thank you very much for that suggestion--I'll try to scare-up a similar motor. This one was badged for laundry equipment, so maybe it won't be too hard. I'll have to go see about those impellers; I'd love to have a spare or two just in case Something Bad Happens™ to this one.
Terry -- You'll have to come visit so you can load it once we get the motor fixed!! :-D
Bob -- I love the idea of the steam wafting up out of the top vents.
I agree that the top racking on this is odd; I'll keep my eyes peeled for the loading shots, because I can't help but think that the issues posed by this rack are rather similar to our spin-tube--round spray direction; square rack. Huh?
Greg -- Well, you know, a housewife like me needs the simplest choices possible. It's like a big button that says, "Clean dishes!" I love it!
I also look forward to the day that something F---s up and you have to pull the panel and advance the timer to "OFF" with a butter knife if you don't want to repeat history once the machine's repaired. But that's a minor detail :-D
By the way, how are those avocado 'Tags? ;-)
Jon--I can't wait to hear the sounds of maelstrom dishwashing! :-D Thanks so much for looking for that motor--I appreciate all your help.
Fred--Yay!! E-mail me ([email protected]) with your mailing address and I'll send you a check. Even if that doesn't work for the dishwasher (and I'd bet it will), it'd be good to have the spare motor.
Blackstone, teamed with Hotpoint! That should be cool :-D

I think we should upgrade to, say, a 3/4 HP motor. You know, dishwashing with more power!

Oh, dahlink!
You'll have to come visit and run those through the Frigidaire while you watch the dishwasher, then! When it's done, they'll be dry, and you can pop them right back on! :-D

Nate, have you forgotten the cleaning disaster with the "Bob Load" sheet only a few weeks ago?
