78 Kenmore dishwasher documentation

[turquoisedude]

Oh yeah! That's the dishwasher that came with the manuals, all right!! The picture above was taken just before Hubby and I moved from pinkgurl's neck of the woods down to Ogden. I must get this one out of 'dry dock' and into the kitchen for at least one test wash this summer...

Pau, THANK YOU.  Had to wait almost 35 years for this.  But it was 99% worth.  I rally appreciate you posting this.

Kenmore!

This does bring back so many memories - one of my friends had the 7614 model just below this one and like the green one above but builtin. They always liked when I loaded it. I always got everything in with no problem. Easy loading and all always came out clean without or very little rinsing. I mostly used normal wash with the sani temp option.

4 total rinses

Did I read that right, a total of 4 rinses for a normal wash?? I don't even think the original WP Power Cleans did that many. And I get a meager 1 rinse and a purge with normal wash on my current Kenmore.

gr81nknox - the actual sequence of the normal cycle was: (4 total rinses)

This machine with the brown face panels (Portable) is sitting in my Rental apartment, it belongs to my uncle when he moved upstairs we hooked up as permanant install by hooking hot water line and drain but left the original hoses in tact. It is operational and a very quiet machine. It is the model with the start button on the right. (Lady Kenmore) Beautiful Machine..Unfortunatly he is ill and in an assised living home but the family is keeping the apartment as long as they can. I wonder where this dishwasher will end up?
Paul, thanks for the instruction manual.

Maybe you should unhook the dishwasher in your rental appartment and put it in storage because you never know when 1 of your family member would like to have a dishwasher later or when you might need a backup 1 incase the one you have at the moment breaks
