Can't make out any badge or logo on the panel - might this be an older Kenmore with roto-rack?  Listing is not new, so it's possible that the item has been sold.

This is not a roto rack it is a 1980 model - I knew someone that had this dishwasher - great machine.

I had a MOL version of this product in my first house, boughht July, 1980. Wasn't the WORST dishwaher I've ever used, but was toward the bottom of the list. This series actually got Sears in trouble with the Federal Trade Commission due to false advertising because this series could not live up to the claimeed performance of them. why do I know this, I was listening to the news and heard that mentioned on local radio about 8 monthuys after I'd moved into my house.

If you mashed the Sani Wash or High Temp Wash button, it washed long enough to clean most dirt off dishes and pans.

It is true that it could remove almost anything if used on the correct cycles, but with no filtering system you often found the bits of food redeposited elsewhere in the items in the top rack, LOL.

I lived with the machine for 4.5 years. Pots/Pans cycle had a 35 minute main wash period with water being heated throughout that phase. Still wasn't as good as the PotScrubber in my next house. the GE cleaned stuff that the Kenmore couildn't attempt to totally remove. Same water conditions and water temperature too. Granted it was a slight improvement over the apartment issueed BOL GE, but not by much. I was actually very disappointed. Our two Roto-Racks cleaned better than the Kenmore did. Nuff said!!
