Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

My parents had a Kenmore of earlier vintage but similar looks.  It was a cheaper model with only three buttons that had flat fronts, and no black on the panel, all woodgrain.  Probably a '75 or '76.  They decided to replace it in late 1990 when a door spring broke and the lower front panel had developed rust at the top, which had become unsightly.

 

What I remember most is how dramatically quiet it was compared to the uber BOL late 60's Wardgidaire portable toploader it replaced.

 

Thanks for posting.  I haven't seen a good money shot of one of those Kenmores before and I had forgotten what the interior was like.  A fine machine for a smart buyer and a real deal at $20.
 
Excellent find

In all honesty, I would rather have this dishwasher than a modern machine. It is very similar to the avocado early 70s Norge in a friend's kitchen. If set for heated wash, it turned out very clean, well rinsed dishes. I guess it is a little late to walk into a Sears store and order the missing cover.
