kemore Dishwasher This is a top of the line 1974 Kenmore. It sounds like it was permanently installed at some point. Make sure that the tub is not rusted out around the chrome ring around the sump inside. They were very prone to rust thru.Otherwise this is a nice machine. Good luck! | ||

I had one about the same year. Great machine for cleaning. Another rust place to watch for that eventually ruined mine was the 2 screws that are on the bottom of the door can wear through the porcelain and it will leak there. Only downside is a long or short heated dry. I would set a timer for 22 minutes on normal wash, hit cancel drain, open the door, spin the roto rack and as soon as you could handle the heat from the dishes, they were dry enough to put away.

Rust If you can clean the rust down to metal and then apply white epoxy it should be ok. Sears had a massive recall on these tubs and I can tell you they replaced thousands of them in warranty and under service agreement. I know because I changed many myself. Good luck! | ||
