I think this is as close as you're going to get with resources through this sister site, but it would probably be fairly easy to translate control panel verbiage and apply it to the one on your machine.

I'm pretty sure that's a rinse aid filler and dispenser. The one without the holes probably twists open to fill the reservoir with liquid rinse agent, and I'm guessing the one (below it when the door is closed) with holes is the reservoir's dispenser. I can see streaks below the dispenser that are typical indicators of rinse agent.
I've owned a Thermador dishwasher which was made by Waste King, but it was newer than yours and had a different rinse aid system, but I can't imagine any other function for those two things. |

Thanks for the close-ups! I think the "Dishwasher Dryer" is a fitting description. My Thermador employed a very similar wash system as shown in the pictures above, so I'm betting the drying system is about the same too. That Thermador did a better job of drying than any dishwasher I've ever owned, including the Miele I currently have in my kitchen.
Here are a couple of pictures of my Thermador for comparison. It originally had front panels that matched the cabinetry of the kitchen where it was originally installed (it was purchased from a private party). Those panels were replaced with brushed aluminum that was purchased by-the-sheet at a home improvement store and cut to size, which was much more affordable than stainless steel. |

Did the Waste King version have the steam generator and steam cycle sequence like it’s Thermador Cousin? |

Tom, your cycle assessment is correct. The 950's Cookware & Fine China both eliminated the 3rd post-wash rinse. And Prewash was indeed R&H and harkens back to our first WK where the cycle dial had "Pre" as the cycle label and the cycle button said prewash. Yet, all the other models that were the 950's contemporary (610, 710, 810, and 910) all simply said "Wash and rinse" on the timer dial. I think our 810 Cookware had a slightly better cycle sequence in that the final rinse had the pump circulating during the entire 7 minute timer segment and I remember the user manual positioning that as sa highlight as the extended spray helped soften remaining food residue. Our R&H was stated as 7 minutes, consisting of a pump out, fill, circulate, and drain. The first 3 segments of WRW each had 4 minute circulation. The first two post wash rinses was a 1 minute circulation. The final 3rd rinse was at least 1 minute, possibly 2 minute circulation.

We rented a 1954 home in a development that had all gas kitchens -- including the refrigerators -- and those Western Holly wall ovens were in every one of them, but they were single ovens instead of double. Ours was an ugly sort of band-aid pink. The matching gas cooktops were as sturdy as any free-standing range from the same period.
Based on that, I would say your ovens are original to your home. That's a great looking kitchen you have there, and the coppertone appliances coordinate really well with the cabinetry. Either the dishwasher was added later, or it replaced the original one, which would have been a dozen or so years old and likely had seen better days. I hope you're not considering replacing your ovens or cooktop. Nothing made today, even super expensive makes, is made as well as what you have.
My sister doesn't live far from you (near Eagle Rock). She has a vintage Wedgewood stove and has found a local source for repairs. If you need a referral I can ask her for information. |

Lina,
Here you are: W=wash R=Rinse D=Dry Full Cycle: WRWRRRD 54 minutes Full Cycle+ Sani: WRWRRR(hold over)D 54+ minutes Cookware WRWRR 31 minutes Fine China WRRD 32 minutes Pre-Wash W 7 minutes Plate Warmer D 17 minutes The sani rinse could have time extended to heat the water to 170 degrees. During the water heat, the pump is not circulating water. I'm one who doesn't have much knowledge with cooktops and wall ovens and hopefully one of our experts will chime in on this. The wall oven and cooktop could be original to the house as its coppertone shading is darker than the dishwasher. Your dishwasher and our 1968 WK are close in age and ours was coppertone like yours. |
