Just over 60°C Or about 145 in that weird system. I also use TSP in the dishwasher and washer and double rinse all clothes. They come out really clean. I am not comfortable going higher than this because some of the plastic pipes in our house are from the early 1980s and that was a very bad...

Fascinating I don't recollect having read about that one. How very useful! Thanks! By the by, if you reach the point where you can't fix the electronics/sensors, etc. - It is possible to fit the controls from a mechanical GE to run this dishwasher. Given that it has the multi-orbital arm and...

Theme Drift Dahlings, we've always wandered all over the place in these threads and somebody has always been upset about it...and yet, we still all wander. It's not that big of a deal. Really - that Holden and Frigidaire both belong to a now dead era of GM's Mark of Excellence is relevant...

Bob, It's a bit like the bottom wash-arm only KitchenAids - you look at them and ask yourself how on earth they couldn't see the need for a top sprayer?   Or the first Frigidaire (Electrolux) dishwashers which had a little ball designed to gunk up within two washcycles and stop working, thus...

So cool sounding! I have always been fascinated by how little these machines have changed through the years. Modern ones made in the US use much less water and only in very recent years have the top of the line models begun to clean (in several hour cycles) half as well as the BOL...

Oh, yes That is so true.   I learned early on that these are going to be the easy customers: Older women. Men who practice a trade.   These are the customers to avoid: "You can only carry out the work when I am there and I will be supervising you." "You want how much for, what, 20...

Neptunebob, I think that's probably the best analysis to date.  

Some things never change

Some thoughts We're all having a tough year of it. Maybe it's time to agree to follow Robert's rules and drop personal stuff in Imperial?

Eugene, Speaking as someone who runs their own business - I hear you. Never discount the amount of goodwill you have from virtually the entire group of us here. The few malcontents are as likely to be unhappy that someone as cute as you doesn't play for our team as about anything else.   I...

I wonder if two things are playing a role, here First - Speed Queens may be easy to work on for somebody of John's extraordinary skill, for the average lady around here, they're toothy pit-bulls in a bad mood. Maytag, say what one will about the decline in quality toward the end (and it was...

Maytag, hands down is right I admit my feelings are a bit coloured by having worked on both and the Speed Queen just seemed determined to hurt me.

So, a KA-5A I got two different HOBART KitchenAids confused. This is a 5A. Astonishing, how serviceable these were built to be! The schematic may prove of use to someone.

A couple of thoughts - for what they're worth 1) We know the system does not immediately react to an error. Sometimes it can run for 30 seconds, sometimes a few minutes. This is why opening a door or turning it off and back on can lead to the system running again for a while. 2) It appears as...

Yup, upside down This cleans the bottom rack at least as well as a bow tie mobile maid does. I think the mobile maid does a better job on the upper rack and niblets without all the theater about loading it precisely. All in all, though, the fast turnaround, the very hot water and just the solid...

That's an easy one The mobile maid would do an enormously better job on anything in the upper rack and this would do a better job or at least as good of a job on anything in the bottom rack

These only have one spray arm These only have one spray arm at the bottom - the classic, real Hobart (not Whirlpool trash) four arm, spins at 10000000rpm one. Nothing for the top two racks. Nothing at the very top for 'nibblets'. So, the only water that gets to the upper rack or the very top...

Derek, Never a truer word spoken.

OK, after nearly 15 years...finally noticed it Dum-de-DUMB-DUMB. Yes, dahlinks, that is a liquid rinse aid fill and dispense system. Sigh.

Four things Seriously, can't we save the drama for the Collectors' Club Which Must Not Be Named and keep the enjoyment for ours? 1) <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Personal vendettas (and this clearly, clearly is one) are for The Collectors' Club which must not be Named, not here!</span>...
