At the end of the Roto-Rack run because of the hated/cool dry rocker switch to the right of the timer dial. Model just under the LK.

Avocado Roto rack

I had one very similar to that when I moved out of my parents house, I found it on the side of the road. The terminal block under the door was actually touching the front panel causing it to dead short when you plugged it in, a quick fix Otherwise it was in immaculate shape. Mine had avocado racks,the option buttons and the timer dial were lighted. People knock these quite a bit but I loved mine. We left it in hubby's apartment when we moved in together..

Early to mid

70's machine at the newest! The big buttons were replaced with small square flat ones well before rot-rack's became replaced with whirlpool sourced machines.

Mike, I disagree with your time frame assessment. The small square flat button models were the lowest model rotoracks. The elongated buttons as seen on this model were for the higher end models. And were that way until Sears did away with the rotorack design with their revamped dishwasher line with the typical upper rack in like 1975 or 1976. We got a next to LK rotorack model for our house in Houston sometime in 1972 before the end of my sr. year in high school (May 1973). It didn't have the heated/cool dry rocker switch the above shown unit has. That feature was only on the last of the rotorack model line. A friend from college, his parents updated their early 1961/1962 GE Kitchen (with the first wash am GE) with a Kenmore kitchen features an induction cooktop and also a Kenmore dishwasher, the very first non rotorack Kenmore I'd ever seen. And it had the small square flat buttons, along with redesigned control knob. And that was sometime around 1975-1977. A woman from church I used to work with on musician stuff, I went to her house while I was still in high school. I noticed she had a Kenmore dishwasher and it had the small flat square buttons on the control panel. I recognized it as a low-end model. I about fell out on the floor when she opened the door to put some glasses in it and low and behold it was a roto rack. And this was whiie I was still in high school.

Ok Bob,

Iv'e forgotten that, and that the DM machines ever had a stationary top rack. I never saw one.

stationary racks

Mike, the D&M made "Modern Maid" dishwashers also had the stationary upper rack. That's what we had when I was young.

The one thing I liked about the Modern Maid was it didn't use the ugly (in my opinion) mustard yellow racks that the latter Kenmore roto-racks used. Ours had blue racks and the porcelain tub was not Kenmore's white but was what Modern Maid called "Robin's Egg Blue." It was an attractive interior, except it had the same bland and ugly white silverware/flatware basket that Kenmore used.

The dishwasher had good scrub-ability especially with skillets, pots & pans, etc., but it had the unhandy knack of sometimes leaving little "nibblets" of ground up food wastes on the glassware in the upper rack.
