Well firstly without having to look twice that’s a Kenmore space saver model, a condensed 18inch version of the full size 24inch. I’m sure it’s from the 70s. I found a scan someone posted here I’ll leave the link for it, but I don’t think there’s much luck finding the identical control panel from yours in order to find out what cycle is what. Does it even work??

a D& M Kenmore! I"d be very careful about running this as it's liable to pour water all over the floor. And loud? LOUD! Get your landlord to replace it! Frigidaire makes a great 18" machine! (That's my opinion). |

That's clearly a hard working dishwasher that's still around after all this time.
This model is similar. It has a few more buttons from 1985. The catalog no. of your is 7331. The catalog no. of the 18" built-in here is 7332. I think we may be getting close.

here we are. 1984
Same Cat. no. and all. One complaint I had about the Kenmores of this era is how easily damaged the control panels were.

I bought one for my first condo. Installed it myself. The first of many dishwasher installations. Just did one new LG dishwasher last week. But, they say you never forget your first! The Kenmore was purchased and installed in the Fall of 1984. |

Go ahead and try to use it they worked fairly well as a dishwasher.
The good news is it’s not your problem when it floods the place or doesn’t work let the landlord know if it doesn’t work. 90% of the 18 inch dishwashers sold in the US now are all made by the same Chinese company, they work OK again they’re not great but they are a lot quieter now. John L |
