Top load dishwasher

[tpirman1982]

In Close Encounters of The Third Kind (1977), anyone know what kind of dishasher is this? Kenmore or what?

Yes, Kenmore Portable

Anyone seen this model personally before or find additional pictures of this one other than from Close Encounters of The Third Kind?

Here's a thread, showing all the Kenmore dishwasher models available in a catalog, from the good old days. Some top-loaders that do look similar to the model in the movie.

I have a model a year or so later

Found locally, mint. Son said his Mom used it for three Thanksgiving dinners and that was it. When it's warmer I will post photos, it's currently in my garage!

Looking forward to it Don!!

I can't wait to see it entirely, Don!

Well, Don, the warmer weather is here.
Didn't you say you were going to take more pictures of your Kenmore dishwasher when the weather is warmer? You said you would.

Not to digress, but the electric range that lit up/heated up so dramatically was also a Kenmore.

I knew that, Tom. I posted about it in this thread:
