 Interesting! It's definitely an early one - the half-arm wash arm at the rear of the tub to ensure the upper rack contents got at least some washing is not present in this dishwasher. I've got a 1965 version, a Kenmore 600 that has the half-arm, so I'd be very curious as to what year the one for sale is from. | ||

Of course Kenmore would "win the pageant", as the majority of Whirlpool's output was for Sears. At one time, Sears had controlling interest (51% or more) in Whirlpool Corporation. | ||

Sears was famous for long-term contracts for suppliers, particularly those like D&M which they did not own/have large holdings in. I'd also speculate that dishwashers were more a part of their built-in appliance (i.e. remodeling) and stove business (which never was really top-quality) rather than laundry/refrigeration.
For someone who was remodeling and valued a good dishwasher, they were using an independent designer and getting a KitchenAid/Thermador. Sears was much better served in that era by being specified throughout a 1984 condo development (for example) for 500 units being built (where we have a condo in Palm Springs) and having piece costs be low. | ||
