    Transitioning from plastic to glass food storage containers

    Yes I got an early Black Friday special with my Walmart world plus account and got a 17 piece set of glass containers for food. Some dishwasher detergent fragrance gets glued to the plasticware since I’ve switched to Kroger lemon powder that doesn’t happen anymore but I always have spotting on...

    dishomat dreams and ideas

    Oh my. That is the most detailed dream a human could have. Sure it’s just not your imagination? I can’t believe the “Kenmore by bosch” didn’t come up in this dream

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    I can’t find any of their direct dishwasher products I’d love to buy and try some locally owned and made dish products.

    Facebook will not let me in

    While we’re on this discussion I’ve been wanting to ask what the heck is with all these ads on this website all the sudden? Ones that you are required to click the X on in order to navigate this page? It’s absolutely absurd. And I’m not sure about the rest of you I’d imagine a lot of you are...

    Has this ever happened to you, with a Maytag MDB4949?

    Your going to have to go ahead and remove the dispenser out of the door and you can then flush water into the rinse aid hole and flush all of that out. I believe on these newer sliding dispensers, the reservoir tank is attached to the back side of the whole dispenser for rinse aid so it’s as...

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    I just picked this up yesterday and it does a very good job. It smells exactly how the original cascade lemon powder used to smell way back when, this has definitely been reformulated since the last time I used it. About two dollars less than cascade and gives the same result in my water. I...

    Does this motor sound like it’s failing?

    I forgot to mention. When I got the screw off the motor shaft for the wash impeller the shaft was emitting a propane gas smell, thought that was really strange.

    Does this motor sound like it’s failing?

    I found tons of new assemblies online, almost 400$ though. Thanks for the tips, I’ll try that out as I was thinking about rebuilding it and I already know where to find the rebuild kit as I will need a new impeller as is so if it sounds alright I’ll go ahead and do that and keep her in storage...

    Comparing Available Powder Detergents

    I decided to try out the cascade powder again since I moved to a new home with soft water, and it worked excellent. The fragrance is not purposeless, in my experience the fragrance helps to eliminate nasty odors from dirty dishes that have made the dishwasher itself smell in between loads. I’ve...

    Does this motor sound like it’s failing?

    *correction The drain impeller shaft was making a scraping sound while turning either direction. It was my understanding before that the wash impeller also acted as the drain impeller but I just realized that the shaft I was speaking of is a drain impeller after watching some repair videos.

    Does this motor sound like it’s failing?

    I also took the chopper and spring off, when I’m spinning the motor shaft by hand it’s making a scraping sound just under the shaft. Don’t think that’s normal. Probably needs a whole new assembly.

    Does this motor sound like it’s failing?

    Today I finally got around to ripping it apart. The bolt for the impeller would not budge so I had to take the whole pump and motor out to get better leverage and I got it out. All I found in the sump was a rusty bolt, which you will see in the photos, and some transparent tape pieces just under...

    Do you use heated dry on your dishwasher?

    Only use it when there are plastic items in the wash load, otherwise it just gets cracked open soon as it’s done.

    Need assistance finding manual for dishwasher

    John, I have a question. I’ve figured out how the door comes off, so easy. But before I take it off I need to remove the wiring underneath the dishwasher on both units to transfer the doors. Anyway, how do these wires come off do you just pull them right out from where they are plugged in...

    To Rinse or Not Rinse - Dishwasher Story

    No William even if it was 50 years ago he just has to stamp in his input in about his Bosch Kenmore this and his Finish dish tabs that….give us a break already. So repetitive.

    KM Direct Drive help needed

    It’s as simple as replacing the motor coupler!! Very easy job and no expensive parts!! I got a Kenmore like this last year that had a bad coupler with the same symptoms and replaced it and the machine has been working like new ever since. Very common issue on these direct drives. That sound it...
