1950 Homart Electric Sink Dishwasher Full Demonstration
This video shows a 9 minute edited version of the full 45 minute cycle for the Homart Electric Sink Dishwasher. This dishwasher came from the town of North Egremont, Massachusetts, and was trucked to West Peoria, Illinois on May 1, 2009. Sears introduced the Homart Dishwasher line in 1949, and were sold most likely into the early to mid-1950’s. I’m estimating this machine to have been built in 1950, until a more accurate date can be determined. The Model Number is 787.48, the Serial Number is 16908.

Yes, if the water …
Yes, if the water temperature is in the 140 to 160 degree range recommended for all dishwashers these days, the granular detergent should disolve just fine. The liquid detergent would probably work equally as well.
On the short wash …
On the short wash cycle, does it really have time to desolve completely, or is liquid detergent recomended?
that must be why it …
that must be why it is that fast.
Brent, Thanks. Yes …
Brent, Thanks. Yes, this is a really nice machine of very high quality. It didn’t leak one drop of water anywhere. And the tub seal is still in very good condition considering this dishwasher is nearly 60 years old. And I love how loud the solenoids are when opening and closing the drain valve, when the lid opens, and when the machines shuts off.
There is a heating …
There is a heating cal rod in the bottom of the tub for use during the drying cycle. It only turns on at the beginning of the dry cycle. Otherwise, it depends on hot tap water. There is no internal water tank/heater on this machine like is on the Apex and Youngstown dishwashers. At the very beginning of the cycle, when the dishwasher is turned on, the water valve opens immediately, and passes water for about 20 seconds before the drain valve closes - this clears the cooler water out first.
Yes, normal …
Yes, normal dishwashing detergent is used in this dishwasher.
