If only the appliance places here were still in their older stores-you may find something like this or other goodies!-but als they have new places now,such finds would be long gone years ago. | ||

I replaced a rusted-out 1974 Lady Kenmore with this dishwasher. It heated the water before the first wash, which set it apart from other brands. It was certainly one of the best-cleaning machines of its day, as well. It would be considered noisy by today's standards, but you'd certainly be getting, as was stated above, a hurricane-in-a-box!
Hope someone snatches up this fine example of American-built quality. | ||

Remember when new appliances came in those large crates.
Most every boy in our area growing up would turn them into a "fort" or found some use, despite often some mother's objections about being "dangerous". Most area dads were happy to comply and often even helped "build". Said mothers soon came to realize the virtues of those forts. They kept little boys entertained for hours, and you knew where they were.

New in Box KA DW This is a great deal for someone that wants a REAL KA DW, Even though WP owned the name by this time this would be about as all Hobart as you can get, WP had yet to make any real [ and much needed ] design improvements. However KA DWs did have a lot of shortcomings by this time.
The preheating the first fill was the dumbest thing that Hobart ever did in designing a DW, as Tom mentioned it did very little good and it was all down the drain in a few minutes anyway and then the cooled water in your water line came in and the DW never reaches a wash temperature over 140 unless you keep your hot water at at least 140 to start with. When ever I use my KDSS-20 I run a R&H cycle with 1 TS of detergent on the door and as soon as it drains then I immediately start the Heavy Wash cycle, doing this cuts out over 10 minutes of running a 1400 watt electric element and produces a better cleaner result.
If one wanted the top cleaning DW from this time period the KM Ultra-Wash or similar WP Power-Clean are much better performing DWs. The TOL MT RR and GE Multi-Orbit DWs are also better cleaning machines overall, but the later two have significant design flaws when it comes to loading a lot of dishes mixed with pots and pans and other large items in a load. Both GE and MT abandoned their DW designs of this time period in the 1990s in favor of more usable designs. | ||
