 Three more useful pics, the rest are various views of the box. The spec sheet is part of the sale photos. | ||

D&M
Shannon, you are correct that is a D&M machine. You can change your 99.9% to 100 percent! Good call.
The picture shows the older D&M spray arm with the larger, but fewer, jets. This must have been one of the last models produced that used them, or they just had not updated the drawing in their literature. | ||

There might be good reasons why that Caloric DW remained uncrated.
Some swore by their Caloric dishwashers, others at them... www.automaticwasher.org/c... | ||

New inbox D&M built caloric dishwasher
This is a 1986 DNM built dishwasher. This was probably the last year for the porcelain metal tank, by the end these were about the worst quality, DM machines, built ever, the box is actually higher quality than the dishwasher and you can see the boxes already falling apart, lol.
Might make a good museum piece to highlight the cheap crap that we made in America. Sometimes the only thing I can say for it is it would be better than not having a dishwasher at all, but it would not last long and daily use. I learned this the hard way. My first partner bought a condo that was built in 81 with the equivalent Kenmore dishwasher in it. It was an absolutely miserable performing machine wouldn’t dry anything couldn’t get anything clean, I stupidly installed it in a rental property of a woman I knew that needed a cheap dishwasher. We repaired that dishwasher over and over again and replaced it in less than four years when the motor failed. I always said, if I found another new in the box D&M dishwasher from this time period It would go right to the scrapyard. John | ||

Difference between late 60’s and 80’s D&M machines?
John or anyone else with experience, I was wondering what the differences were for the D&M machines made between the 1960’s and 1980’s. Lots of the parts look extremely similar so I guess I wanted to know what changed? I always hear worse things about the 80’s machines while the 60’s ones are usually looked at more fondly.
