Westinghouse SUG4A

[bigalsf]

Hi everyone, it's been a little while since I posted. Last week I received a new "toy"! A Westinghouse Dishwasher from about 1966/67. This is one of my bucket list models! I can't be sure of the year because I can't find a serial-number decoder for these older models. It's in incredibly good condition for its age, and it works fine. It has a leak at the drain valve body in the gasket area. It's very powerful, and two of the cycles are preprogrammed for water heating in the main wash & final rinse. It's also very loud! While there was an insulation blanket surrounding the tub, there is nothing for the motor compartment. I can just imagine what these sounded like in a kitchen! Definitely no talking on the phone while this was running!

I have a service manual for this (thanks to the Ephemera library), but am looking for a parts list. Documentation for these models is seriously hard to find, if not impossible. Would anyone happen to have a parts list & any other literature for these models? I would greatly appreciate a copy.

Enjoy the pics! I'll post more info as I get into the machine.

Congratulations on finding one of your bucket list machines.

I wish there were youtube videos on these.

I lived in 2 different apartments in school 1975-1976 with a version that had Normal and Rinse & Hold Buttons. Had a huge capacity and cleaned pretty well.

I think it was the 1965 CU DW testing that rated a WH highly.
