    Soon to be owner of Kitchenaid KDS-18

    Well, it's looking like the seller is going to sell it to someone else... Probably someone from here, says they are coming from Ohio.. Well guess I didn't need a good dishwasher after all.

    Soon to be owner of Kitchenaid KDS-18

    Well, after our Maytag Jetclean bit the dust, I've been looking for a good used dishwasher that actually washes, and I think I found it. I've heard great things about KitchenAid dishwashers, specifically the kds-18, and found what looks to be a very low mileage example on Facebook Marketplace...

    Wind Chimes!!

    I don't mind them if they aren't in my yard.. We have a couple cheap ones in the back yard but they are so small they just kind of tinkle in the wind.. Also don't mind the large ones with a lower tone but the ones that just clang nonstop in a wind get on my nerves.. I wouldn't have them but...

    Cascade: Run Your Dishwasher With As Few As Eight Items

    I usually run ours 3/4 or full, usually every night after dinner. It's just my mom and I, but EVERYTHING goes in the dishwasher. I don't hand wash. We have had a dishwasher since 2000 and I will never live in a house without one. Why waste my time and energy when the machine can usually do a...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    I did use the Pots/Pans cycle the other day and aside from pre selecting Hi Temp wash and Sanitize, it seemed to do about the same as Normal, although it took considerably longer.. Still had the dirty dish or 2 if I recall. I did a light load tonight on Light wash- Both racks with Hi Temp wash...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    I may do that, but in all honesty the Maytag's tired.. I got it well used secondhand probably 5 years ago, and it's been used, HEAVILY. The racks are rusty, adjustable tines held together with zip ties, has a rattle during drain cycles that sounds like a worn bearing, and will occasionally pick...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    Well for about the 3rd time, it's definitely NOT a MAYTAG. I'm becoming a little less impressed with it as time goes on... A dirty dish here, some kibbles and bits left there, today I took a plate out of the cupboard with dried cheese on it.. Always some sort of crud left in or around the...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    I'd like to believe that by the time I get a machine it's been around the block a few times so the electronic issues seem to be worked out LOL. I was eyeing an older tall tub TOL Maytag on CL a while back, had a 3rd lower rack.. Was interesting but maybe a good thing I passed. I did use...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    And the seen-better-days interior- Innovative feed system for the top arm if nothing else.. I like the nice deep top rack. The stain in the prewash dispenser is not undissolved detergent, pretty sure it's just hard water scale stained blue (by the Cascade complete liquid I'm using in the...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    Cycle times aren't too awful either, and it does have a soil sensor that seems to like shortening the wash times. Pots and pans clocks in at 99. minutes (115 according to the manual) and pre selects Hi temp wash and Sanitize. Normal wash clocks at 95 minutes (1:35) and last night it took 30...

    Frigidaire Dishwashers- why the hate?

    Our beloved Maytag Jetclean bit the dust a few days ago, and while it's probably repairable, it's not financially possible right now. The same evening, I found a working Frigidaire dishwasher on Facebook, curbside for free. Picked it up the next morning, and while it's definitely seen better...

    KitchenAid KUDI23OBO Dishwasher Leaves Food On Dishes

    In a quick scan of the thread, I haven't seen anyone suggest to check that the machine is filling with the correct amount of water.. I don't know how much these are supposed to hold per fill, but maybe try adding half a gallon or so of water to the machine manually after it finishes each fill...

    Maytag MDB5000 Dishwasher acting strange

    It drained throughout the cycle just fine, and drained once I turned to another drain cycle, just not draining at the end of the cycle. I picked up a used Frigidaire curbside off of Facebook this morning and installed it, luckily I had time since my work is closed for cleaning today.. Apparently...

    Maytag MDB5000 Dishwasher acting strange

    Recently Reinstalled our Maytag MDB5000 Jetclean dishwasher.. It's been working great for about a month now. Tonight I went to unload it and opened the door to a hot cloud of steam and very wet dishes, also full of water. I turned it through the cycle manually and there was no drain at the end...

    I did some silly...

    I did pretty similar to you a couple weeks ago- we have a 2.5 year old Bosch but it never dried the dishes and took forever, and recently wasn't washing well, so I repaired the 20yr old Maytag we took out 2.5 years ago and installed it in place of the Bosch. It's got a pretty bad case of rack...

    Countertop Dishwashers

    Looks nice.. Has a built in water reservoir (I thought it was a built in heater) but for $399! I would doubt it cleans as well as a real dishwasher.. I've had a couple full size portables and they have been great, but do take up a lot of real estate in a small kitchen.

    GE Dishwasher Dating

    I'd say either 2007 or 2019, but any other dishwasher ever made will clean circles around it. We had two of the early 2000's equivalent (one original to the house built in 1999-2000 and the other which appeared to be a few years newer) both required the dishes to be rinsed clean, preferably with...
