Hi guys   I'm looking for advice on how to fix up the outer tub (and inner basket) plus any other maintenance tips and tricks.   I've removed the basket so that I can replace the lint filter, which was leaking during drain.  I am not aware of any other leaks at all.   Here's the situation...

Yep I'm not a fan of the modern, overly plain interiors either.  Nor am I a fan of this house to be honest -- it's a bit OTT for me.  Unfortunately it wouldn't surprise me if it gets bought as a teardown.   This house does have something that I really like but have never seen before.  Check...

I wasn't quite sure if that was the property owner in photo 33.     I could certainly understand why they'd be wearing dark glasses indoors! [this post was last edited: 8/2/2024-12:37]

Thanks for sharing this, John.  I enjoyed reading through it!   Mark

Great test there, Barry.  I've done similar tests and I'm looking forward to posting the results within the next few weeks when I have time.  I also recorded the Power Tower action with my GoPro.

$4,500?! Yeah I’ll have some of whatever they’re smoking!

Thanks very much, Barry.  I'll order one of those.   I will definitely be posting about the peanut butter testing and I will record GoPro footage too.  I've found that dishwashers with wash towers and dishwashers with upper rack spray arms both have their pros and cons and neither system is...

Hi Barry.  It would be great if you could please post a link to the appropriate Styrofoam insert for my GE 2800.  I didn't even know this was possible till I read your post.  I've searched for it but I'm not sure which one to go for.  Thank you!   P.S. I've already wrapped my 2800 in Dynamat...

Wow that's great, Alan.  I'd love to see a photo showing the dishwasher and the surrounding kitchen.     I'd be very interested to hear more details about the wash delay too.  I have thought about doing the same thing to my KDS-18.  I was thinking of adding a relay that would detect when the...

Update I'm still loving my new KitchenAid disposer.  While grinding hard items such as corn husks and cobs, I've noticed that it will periodically reverse while munching on the cobs.  I like that feature!  Fast grinding and the chamber is left clean and clear.  It's happily installed in the...

Thank you very much, Barry.  I tightened them this morning after reading your message.  I don't think I overtightened them, but they were pretty tight, so I've just backed them off a little after reading your latest message.  Tested again by draining an entire sink full of water with the...

Versus how mine looks:   I don't have any installation instructions.

I've taken out the GE and installed the KitchenAid!  I have a question:   I've attached the disposer to the sink flange by simply lifting it up and clicking it into place.  Do I need to do anything else now?   The photo Steve posted in reply #7 looks to me like the bolts have been...

Hi Barry.  The label says it's 120 V and 4.5 A.     A copper tailpipe.  It doesn't get much more vintage than that!

In the meantime, this has given me an opportunity to try out the GE instead!  When we bought the house, there were 2 disposals in the kitchen.  The double-bowl sink had an ISE 77, which I replaced with an ISE Evolution Excel.  The single-bowl sink on the other side of the kitchen had an...

Thanks, guys.  Great to hear that I can just use a standard tailpiece.   I did use the highest tab closest to the sink, Barry.  It went together very easily with no resistance at all.  Strange.     I've just been out and bought 4 ISE seals to try adding some extra "ballast" to it.  In the...

I put it together like this (with the sink between the two rubber gaskets).  Where am I going wrong?

My drain line is coming out of the wall too close to the larger KA disposer and I will need to move it.   Finally, here's where I'm really confused.  Please help!  I thought I followed the installation instructions but I must be missing something here.  The sink flange does not sit securely in...

Today I installed the KA but unfortunately there are a few problems.  Hopefully you guys can help!   Firstly, the tailpiece was leaking a little and I've discovered the reason why.  A piece of plastic has broken off.  Can I just buy another generic tailpiece that would fit?

The KA seemed to be better at getting rid of everything and leaving the grind chamber clear.     The final test I did was the celery.  The GE ended up with strings of celery still inside and they just wouldn't go.  As Nathan mentioned further up the thread, they probably would go if you...
