Early 70s whirlpool portable convertible dishwasher
Hi Mark, good find this was a very rare model. Of course they had a built-in version as well. I’ve probably only ever seen one or two of these in my life. whirlpool didn’t tend to sell a lot of high-end. They usually didn’t make it into the big stores because they were expensive And only went to people that asked for top-of-the-line or maybe somebody that knew somebody at the distributor, etc..
This would probably be about 1972 model , whirlpool had quite a few pump problems in this era. They were still working out reliabilityproblems. The pump was probably almost as bad as a DNM or a Frigidaire , wasteking , hot point or even Maytagaround this time.
In reality, the only Dishwasher that had a truly excellent pump was KitchenAid in the 60s and 70s.
