Top load dishwasher

[tpirman1982]

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

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.

Thanks to our friend appliance Louis I was able to scan some wonderful items. Lets start with 1966!

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!

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:

Kenmore stove?

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