One trick I learned with these units is that a metal paint tray acts as a perfect replacement to the always missing drain pan.
I too admit to selling quite a few of these units.

Old dishwasher, can anyone identify?

Metal paint tray, sometimes I would take aluminum flashing, and build a defrost pan. Seal the corners, good to go!
How long will the DW last?
How much water will it use. Well, it will last until it rusts out and floods the kitchen and/or starts a fire. 3-5 years with normal use. As to how much water it uses that depends on if you catch the failure soon and if the Fire Department is involved. In other words AVOID IT!

To be fair We had A Hotpoint nearly burn us down several years ago. It got stuck in the main wash heating phase. When I temped the water in a overturned cup the thermometer read 96C. There was partially melted Ziploc ware in the top rack. That POS got given to a scrapper very soon and was replaced with a Whirlpool. Thank God I woke up and heard the pile of shit still running or I'd be a Chef Flambe.

DaveAMKrayoGuy's Magic Chef Mem'ries!
My grandma had a Magic Chef set in Almond as in a small fridge & fairly BOL electric stove (replacing the grand Jumbo Sized Avocado Kelvinator fridge & the "clock only" replacing the Avocado Kelvinator range's (the latter put in the basement, for potential auxiliary cooking that never materialized) Needle & Dial Extravaganza!)...
There was a better M-C gas range, across the street in Harvest Gold, featuring a clock w/ an hour minute-timber & a Vertical Timed Bake that just shut the oven off...

I want to say thanks everyone for identifying this for me. I would have never gotten it. My best guess was WCI Kenmore, so I was off a bit. By change did this machine heat the water or pause to heat it?
it reminds me
1985 caloric dishwasher my mother had before upgrading it to a 1991 kitchenaid. The caloric was total garbage didnt clean anything from day one. The 1991 kitchenaid was replace in 2000 with a wirlpool kitchenaid which is still going strong 16 years later.

The TV show STILL STANDING had a Magic Chef dishwasher (though never used) and a Magic Chef gas stove (never saw on, nor the Almond Whirlpool washer & dryer set in the background) both in Wheat along with a matching General Electric top-freezer fridge, (which seems to have been recycled in a lot of movie and TV) you see opened and closed, especially in the beginning/intro theme...

Dave, how many folks
ever notice or care about appliances on TV show sets? I thought the gold D/W on still standing was a Kenmore. I watched a clip on youtube, and I still do. Magic Chef's of then were slanted console White Westinghouses.
My other half knows I do, so asked me just out of curiosity what brand of stove Debra and Marie each have on everybody loves Raymond.
1950's Okeefe & Merit, and 1960's Kenmore.
