It's a D&M produced dishwasher. Anywhere from mid-1970s to maybe 1980. This was definitely a Canadian offering. Now, there were Magic Chef's and Tappans that looked almost exactly like that unit here though.
Mid 80's
Mid 80's design,
Can we see the control panel and the interior if possible,
Thanks

Don't forget the Kelvinators, Almost have an identical one in my shop, just 8-10 years older. Matt
My father's last home in Cornwall, Ontario had one very much like this and it was a 1979 model.
I think I read Kenmore on the control panel
Kenmore for sure
However, I remember seeing a couple of Canadian-made Admiral models with a timer dial like this, too...

I've seen that badged "Caloric".
D&M....also included....
another brand badge that used this same design was Modern Maid. Ours in our home, at that time, was part of a space saving design with the four-burner cooktop above it, overhead lighting, then a single oven over the cooktop. It was a real workhorse though the DW was on the loud side.

That machine though of humble origins, has nice classic lines. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm getting a little sick of "integrated" appliances. I guess one of the reasons I visit this site is that the retro "classic" appliances not only looked like what they were, but in some cases, like Frigidaire's Sheer Look and GE's Straight Line design, struck a wonderful relationship with the spaces they occupied and their own function. One of my yet-to-be-realized dream kitchens would be an all-white St. Charles style cabinet set up with turquoise appliances set into the casework.

Make mine MOL
This was the MOL d/w the builder suggested for my vacation home built in 1986. It was bought through the "contractor supply division" of Sears in Philly and its features include normal, light, rinse hold and plate warm timer settings, and dry heat on/off buttons. The centered script read "two level wash" and alongside, automatic water heating" although manual does not mention when heat is on. I can verify it may boost to 155 but indicator light is constant. Boasts food waste grinder, 2 sets of reversible panels in white, black and almond. I also bought a drop-in grill/range oven from them.
TOL model which my friend bought the same year included 5 cycle buttons as well as dry heat on/off. These would apparently activate the when the corresponding spot on the dial was reached, rather than have a detent click on the dial with door lock open to prevent premature motor starts. Also had a top shower spinner, rinse aid dispenser, sound insul. and dual silver baskets standard. White porcelain tub had propensity to chip from banging plates and rust would spread to half-dollar size. Price for MOL was around $250. Used mine infrequently. Going to the house Saturday, may take pix and scan manual. Yes it was loud even when new and I recall stray food particles even with prerinsing. Base model may have had lower wash arm only and little else as I recall.

From Hunger this machine!
So funny to see this again. I have had this dishwasher in many forms over the years in Los Angeles, NY, and Washington DC, It was produced from the late 70's and several years after that. I have had versions in White, Gold, Green and Coppertone, with round top racks that spin (yuk) and the regular square ones. Usually branded as Caloric, we also had them as Gaffers & Sattler, & Kenmore, They all did a marginal job and sounded like a train running thru the house. But better than nothing. We now are on our 2nd Bosch, and not looking back. The Bosch cleans incredibly and is silent which is a pretty good combo.
