BOL Kenmore Durawash

[cam2s]

Has anyone ever seen a durawash Kenmore before? I"ve seen older BOL Kenmore built by GE but not with the durawash mechanism. Also this still has green racks, I"m not sure when Whirlpool introduced the durawash line but I didn't think it was that far back. The control panel is hard to see but basically you have heated dry on and heated dry off for the buttons. The timer knob has wash, rinse, dry, and off and that's it.

Whirlpool version

About 20 years ago I rented an apartment that was remodeled and had a whirlpool dishwasher of this style installed. I think it was maybe one model up as it did have a couple of options but the same wash design. Was a good machine as I recall.

A friend had this dishwasher. What a bomb.

My last rental apartment had this Whirlpool dishwasher. Wasn't bad but wasn't great.
No top level spray arm. Left yibbles with the spray tower and wasn't the greatest at drying.
Better than no dishwasher. I am sure it has been sent to the curb by now.

Basic Kenmore, portable, whirlpool, built dishwasher

Another unused dishwasher probably. These were actually pretty decent machines, but as other said nothing to write home about.

It looks like the racks are actually blue. I don’t think whirlpool ever used green at least in anything modern.

Thanks for posting Cameron.

Yessir! Not too often, but they pop up here and there. Most of the Kenmore portables are powerclean versions or the boring GE one arm wonder system
That is a very beautiful model with the teal racks from the good old ultra wash days! I’ve seen tons and tons of newer 2000s Kenmores with this durawash system, most of them are portables like this one infact I don’t think I’ve ever seen a built in Kenmore durawash model? Anyways there is a portable Kenmore durawash that from the exterior looks identical to a powerclean, same control panel style and all With a slightly thinner control panel frame but very similar to the newer end power cleans. Here’s a photo below of what I’m talking about:

Thank you for the information. I guess it’s always interesting how certain models and brands are common in one place but not another. I’ve seen plenty of the Whirlpool/Roper/Estate badged ones but never one with the colored racks. It looks like they are the same color as my portable Ultra Wash.
