Sears Kenmore TOL Square Rack!

[appliancelou]

I got this dishwasher as a gift from Bill (Kenmore700bill). This was previously owned by his aunt and uncle who passed away. It is a much appreciated gift. It also has had very little use. [this post was last edited: 11/26/2011-20:19]

Congratulations!

A friend had the Norge in this configuration and when kept on Sani Wash, it would clean anything we put in it.

Confused here...

How do you start this machine? Does it have a mechanical timer? Does it use solid state electronics? Maybe I missed something in the pictures.

 

[appliancelou]

Confused here...

This is a rapid advance mechinical timer. Start button on the right of the control panel.

 

[supremewhirlpol]

Oh I see... timer respond to the buttons on the left, start button over there on the right. Does it display any visible signs of life? lights,cycle status etc? What year range were these made?

TOL Kenmore!

The rack was changed to straight pins not a exact match for that model, but it will more than due. I like the loading but did not get to see it run. Louis will wait for a full load.

Yes being the machine was not in operation it was hard to see

Models!

What year range were these made?
These were made from mid 1975 until early 1980. The earlier models had the straight pin bottom racks. The later version had the loops. The loops are a nusence to load. The next series after this had made changes from 6 water changes in normal cycle to 5 water changes with a longer wash time. After the next series about 1983 they got rid of the loop rack design.
