    Kitchenaid Dishwasher FAIL

    Yup the unit has a slight rearward tilt. However, for this pump in a stainless steel tub, the correct water level is reached when the water touches the bottom edge of the element. This is required for proper pressure and circulation. Just saying' :-) L.P.

    Kitchenaid Dishwasher FAIL

    Actually the water level in the unit appears to be low. The water level after the full fill time should at minimum; touch the bottom of the heating element all the way around. For a 10+ year old machine, the water inlet valve should be evaluated too. L.P.

    Bounce Sheets with "Manly" Scent

    We've been enjoying them here. They leave a nice light scent. Will repurchase.

    Why I dislike detergent pods - stuck in Miele door seal!

    A work around for this is to place the pod in a mesh laundry bag or in a nylon knee high stocking......An extra step but it works!

    American Kitchens Musings:

    Sandy thanks for bringing the American Kitchens documentation back from the past. Back in western NY state there are thousands of post WWII homes built with these cabinets as well as Youngstown. Some are still around. Zillow is a resource for unearthing this sort of thing. By the time the...

    Corning, Corelle, and Pyrex thread

    Sam you've got a great collection. Say in pic #1, inside the roasting pan, you've got two oblong pans. What size are they? Love the crock pot too. L.P.

    Which is more cost effective to dry clothes, Electric or Natural Gas?

    Another consideration............is how free flowing the exhaust vent system is. This is a major contributing factor. Have had both and don't recall any significant difference in drying results or time. ..L.P.

    Water heater temp's, what's the ideal Min – Max?

    Just an observation Brian..........in picture # 6, it appears the lower wash arm is not fully seated on the shaft of the wash arm support. The stainless steel shaft should be flush with the top of the bronze wash arm bearing. This will negatively impact washability. ...L.P.

    Whirlpool's new dishwasher motors

    The wash motor does in fact run continuously. Any pauses during the wash and rinse periods are determined by the machine control. Additionally, the wash motor powers up very smoothly and does not "chatter". I seem to recall a AW.org member or two, recently installed a machine equipped like...

    Whirlpool's new dishwasher motors

    The picture illustrates the actual wash pump & motor that is used in Whirlpool tall tub dishwashers since 2011. (There is a separate drain pump motor) Certain models operate both wash arms simultaneously. Others have a flow diverter that allows the wash arms to work independently with a...
