I wonder which "version" of sanitizing cycle this is. Kenmore and a few others only heated the final rinse water to 155 degres. Other D&M product (Magic Chef, Tappan, and some Gaffers & Sattler in the early 1970s) not only heated the fihnal rinse water to 155 degrees, the main wash temp was boosted too. Magic Chef called theirs the Total magic Wash. the 1st prewash may have also been heated on that one too.

Very nice! I'm not positive but pretty sure there were Kelvinator branded units similar to this that had the round upper rack as well. I don't think that was a Sears-only thing. | ||

D & M
I had also saw a G&S with the roto rack from the 60's. But my favorate was like the above kelvinator with the arm under the upper rack. Does anyone know why they screwed up their design in the later 70's when they added a tower and put the big arm on top? It never made sense why they did that. It ultimately ruined the business. Than only sears and modern maid kept the good design. It seemed america was so into the tower while europe was always into the 2 wash arms under both racks. Even GE had the design in the 70's on their top models with a full size arm under the upper rack than canned it and went back to the tower on all models. I guess thats why america is in trouble today (Corporations just keep going backwards) and wonder why they go out of business. Peter | ||

I think...
...it was an endeavor to pretend to be a Maytag, and if they could have offered reverse loading, it probably would have been great. But alas, the spacings for the top and bottom rack were very traditional, which meant that the tops of stuff in the top rack were SPOTLESS, and you had to load it otherwise like a single wash-arm machine. I really liked my Magic Chef, though--when properly loaded, it kicked butt, and I had zero rejects :-)

Magic Tragic Chef!
Yes Nate this was the beginning of the more poorer design in my opinion. This one you have is the bol model. The next ones up have the tower. If they wanted a maytag they should have designed it like one. This is almost as bad as what wci did to Frigidaire. The Magic Chef series before this series was absolutely awesome and probably better than most other D&M designs for it’s time in the earlier 70’s that had the total magic wash option with the red button spoke about earlier. And the interior was like that of the Kelvinator above. I also remember that dishwasher was on Maude, if anyone can recall. D&M has had some very interesting models but give me a design like the Kelvi above or like the sears models and I’m all set. Peter | ||
