That's an early Frigidaire SuperSurge Custom Imperial mid 1960s.
I have never understood why those machines had such short washes and unless you got a fairly deluxe machine, it only had one wash because of no electrically operated detergent dispenser. I wonder what kind of people GM hired to design their DWs.
Beautiful kitchen, BTW.

They were probably "car guys" who never washed dishes or cooked their entire life.
Tom, the only time I saw a open dispenser Frigidaire was for the Deluxe Spin Tube models. And looking at a tech talk for 1964 with this new line, the basic model only had the open cup too. With the S series that was mentioned in a 1969 tech talk, all but the Imperial/CI models with 3, the other front load models, including BOL, had the typical 2 cup design.
I am talking about the cup with the perforated metal cover, basically the wash out type dispenser that I saw in two machines from the mid to late 60s. There was no excuse for such a POS dispenser which shot its wad in the first wash with no pre-rinse to even warm up the machine and its load.
Ahh, ok, thank you!!

cup with the perforated metal cover
The good thing, Tom, is that they only offered that for one year, 1965. I think it was their attempt to avoid the detergent from being washed away before the actual wash action began. That was a problem on the spin-tube units that began the cycle with a flush. After 1965, the "dispenser" on the lower priced models was a screen in one section of the silverware basket. By 1968, all their dishwashers had the same dual detergent dispenser. Remember, in the 60's, a detergent dispenser was a deluxe feature on higher end models. KitchenAid didn't even offer a double wash until the KD14 series. Lower cost units had screen basket or bird-feeder type dispensers and only one wash. The attached photo shows the silly dispenser from a 1965 Deluxe model with one wash.
