What a pisser! I was born and raised in Fountain Valley! I just bought a beautiful Condo here in Palm Springs! But no this couldn’t have been a built-in model. The appliance Gods can be very mean! Hope someone on here can save it!

Attempting to Contact Owner . . .! Though her ad requests ' text only', I do not text, (don't even own a cell phone). I left a very early morning voice message, and hope I get a response. This would be a nice little drive, not a Kitchenaid as I hoped for, but a nice substitute if my wife is happy. Hope I receive a response! | ||

That is the exact console we had on our 69 D&M built, Roto Rack when growing up. It's odd to see it installed precariously like that.
I too am questioning the authenticity of the shrink-wrap and foam padding. This most likely came in a a cardboard box, with corner "L" pieces to protect the corners and stabilize the box. There would be no reason to wrap the dw in plastic. There would probably have been a single sheet of plastic covering just the top. | ||

That looks a great deal like the Kenmore DW my Aunt Doris got in the summer of '68. We were visiting them, and went to Sears with her when she bought it. My cousin Melanie (age 5 at the time) kept saying I like it, I like it, I like it! for several days. She still remembers its arrival. | ||

It's SUPPOSED to be mine . . .? . . .we'll see, though. Just spoke to the lady who's selling it for a client, and she says she will ask the owner to hold it till I can make the drive down from the Bay Area in a week or two. She is a visiting nurse, and it belongs to one of the patients she attends. Keeping my fingers crossed. | ||

Good luck with your new dishwasher. I hope the seller is honest and everything goes well for you. It's nice to see someone appreciate an item like this. | ||

Thanks, Travis! I am trying to arrange a Paypal payment. A co-worker, who lives in SoCal and goes home on the weekend, may be able to retrieve it for me. The lady handling the transaction has a long disused Paypal account, she will try to figure out how to use it. Her elderly clients do not likely know what Paypal is! I hope it all works out.

Last Of The D&M Built KM TLing DWs It is around the last of these TL portable D&Ms. About the only good thing I can say about it is the TLers were a lot less likely to leak than the front loading models. And as far a top loading portables go these were fairly quiet in operation because of the double wall tub and some models actually had sound insulation as well. | ||

Some possible answers
I had the front-load portable version of this, so I'll infer that it's similar feature-wise. (If that's not the case, someone who has had this beast can chime in.)
- Does it heat the water itself? Yes, if you select the 150-degree wash option, it will pause to raise the temperature to the target temp. The model I had didn't use a time-out, so if you put tap-cold water in, it would sit there and wash away until, three hours later, you finished the cycle and had steaming-hot water. :-) - Does it have a fan and or heat to dry the dishes? Both. - Is it very roomy, considering it is a top-loader? That depends on your definition of "roomy." The bottom rack is competent, and lacks a tower. The tine spacing may defeat your ability to put cutting boards or cookie sheets along the sides. The circular top-rack can be capacious if loaded carefully; in my testing of my Roto-Rack against other competitors, I usually only have to omit one or two small items. Securing plastics can be challenging. You'll learn to load it the way one weaves a basket, to interleave and secure lighter items. :-) - Will I be sorry I made this purchase? ; ) It's a vintage appliance, subject to aging, part failures, and the eventual outcomes of earlier engineering designs that might have been abandoned for a reason. Magic Eight Ball says, "Unclear at this time." Enjoy it in good health, until it's not enjoyable anymore. I wish you all the best. ;-) | ||
