Ya know, seeing this dishwasher in action for the first time, I never knew Kenmore dishwashers were this good in those days. The wash action almost seems like a vintage KitchenAid
@@Thedonsmoney25823 How do you figure? Kitchenaid was a trademark of Hobart in those days. Kenmore , a trademark of Sears usually made contracts with manufacturers to have their appliances like this made by Whirlpool and a few others, but never Hobart
There are very powerful spray jets under the top rack. Your dishes had to have weight or they would end up all over the place because of so much water pressure under the top rack. You can’t see it in the video but, the top rack has its own spray arm directly underneath. It’s a stationary tube that protrudes from the back wall of the dishwasher to the bottom center of the top rack. The pressure from the spray tube water jets rotate the top rock. Every square inch of the top rack was thoroughly sprayed. They did a great job cleaning dishes and there was never food particles stuck to the dishes on the top rack. This design also gave you more clearance for taller dishes and utensils between the bottom and top rack because you didn’t have to worry about blocking the second rotating spray arm between the two racks that was used in the square rack models. Also, at that time, dishwashers with square top racks tended to leave food particles on the dishes that were placed in the four corners of the top rack. That meant you had to hand, rinse your dishes before placing them in the washer. I grew up with one of these Roto-rack dishwashers, and we never had to pre-rinse the dishes. They went from the table to the dishwasher.
I don't know what Randy is talking about, but back in those days many dishwashers didn't have an upper spray arm for the cup rack. You just didn't put pots and pans in the machines or you put them on the top As you can see the water jets are extremely strong so if you didn't put stuff on the bottom that blocked water, everything on the top rack got clean
I know how long ago this was, but I hope you understand what I was trying to get across regarding the Roto-Rack spray tube which you can hardly see here. Are we okay now?
What I love about the old vintage dishwashers was there was no finesse to them. They got dishes clean by shear FORCE!
Those dishes are really going for a good merry go round up there🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some of the noises of this machine remind me of the late 1980's Kenmore dishwasher we had at our old house. ; )
I sure would've loved to own that dishwasher.
if you can find a vintage whirlpool dishwasher, I'd like to see it running 1975 models and the tilt-out control models would be interesting to see.
It looks like custom cut plexiglass or polymer sheets that you can find at any building supply and home improvement store
The CLASSIC Kenmore roto-rack. How'd you make the clear cover? I want to make one for my dw.
So if there is only one spray arm, and uuu put pita and pans on the bottom rack, does the top get washed?

What are the grinder blades?
