    Dishwasher Brand/Model Recommendations?

    Thanks. I read that the Boschs' dish racks are too closely spaced. I took my dishes to Lowe's and confirmed this on the Bosch, but not the Whirlpool. I'm afraid of GE, given their bad rep with refrigerators, washers, and dryers.

    Weekend find

    "If its a one day sale, they will do the 50% off during the last couple of hours." Thanks for your reply. When did you arrive in relation to closing time? I wonder how hard it is for estate sales to sell used washers and dryers? Do you think it's harder for the really old ones?

    I cleaned up most of the door gaskets, but there's a black discoloration along the top horizontal surface of the FF that touches the cabinet. Laundry detergent with vinegar doesn't get it off (got off everything else). Any ideas? thanks
