    Mystery Dishwasher

    Thanks,but the buttons are lower,on the bottom edge of the panel,the dial is a lot smaller,and the latch,at the top,swings from left to right,like a GE,though I know it's not.

    Mystery Dishwasher

    Hi Gang.I know someone here will know. A buddy of mine grew up in the 1960s with a dishwasher he now cannot remember the brand,and the pic from around 1966ish is blurry. The control panel is silvery with four square white buttons to the left, a multicolored dial to the right,and a swing latch on...

    Clays of Our Lives

    OK,what to do? Are there ANY powders that don't use zeolites,aluminosilicates, or sodium carbonate which all leave or cause "crusty" deposits in the washer in hard water?

    Bubble Bandit

    This stuff REALLY is the ABSOLUTE BEST!! My brother in law's dishes shine and glisten like they were hand polished. Two different Cascade formulas prior could not even approach those results.It has 8.7% phosphates(the max amount) plus enzymes,AND a bit of an oxygen bleach for coffee and tea...

    When did the color avocado debut in applinces?

    The Switch of Bewitched Those Bewitched scenes were from the colorized version of the black and white episodes,they were not the real colors of those appliances.

    Era liquid anyone?

    I use liquid Era Oxi-Boost formula, I am VERY happy with it and it is only 2.99 on sale. Even at the regular price of 3.99 for a 50 oz.bottle, it is cheaper than Purex and works alot better!

    The Last Word In Automatic Dishwashing

    Yes it dried fast with that 180-185 degree heat boost. And dishes did get clean if you did not let food soils dry onto them. There were 3 detergents out back then. Calgonite, Electrosol,and Chat-which was used in the Keiser. The 1st two detergents were relatively good, but detergents got much...

    The evolution of "Rinse and Hold", Rinse Only on dishwashers

    The Utility-Utensil Cycle on the KD-14 series was a regular wash cycle,followed by a 5 minute heated dry cycle. Any crust left in the pots and pans,it was said,were at least softened so you could wipe the pots clean with a paper towel instead of hand scrubbing them. The 5 minute dry was just...

    KitchenAid D/W 21 vs. 23 pump and filter system

    Right on, Bob! The 23 series,BTW, went to only 1 after rinse,which is unacceptable to me!

    Ugh, Today's Doctrine, Such Rare Machines!

    They are gorgeous. My parents had that pair for a brief time, they were included in a house that they moved into in 1974. They got 2 years out of the dryer and about 3 on the washer.Not durable by any means,but I like them anyway.

    Walker built-in dishwasher with sink in Mich

    Oh,the GE Potscrubber II also used 3 gallons per fill. Most other DWs in the 70s used 2.3-2.5 gallons per fill.

    Walker built-in dishwasher with sink in Mich

    The KD-5 uses about 2.3 gallons per fill. Old impeller machines did use only 1 to 1.5 gallons per fill. The only spray arm DWs that used 3 gallons per fill were the older Maytags in the 70s and some Westinghouse machines. Frigidaires from 1965 to 1980 may have also.

    NYY Article on Using Cold Water For Laundry

    Sorry, I will NOT wash most anything in cold water, with VERY rare exceptions and even then the water would be cool or lukewarm. Cold water takes forever to fill up the washer also. I use warm on most of my loads! I don't want sludge building up in the outer basket from solidified soils!

    Washer/Dryer Decisions

    Congrats on the BEST modern TLs today. You don't need 3 speeds with a Speed Queen anyway, because the high speed agitation is only 68 OPM, vs. the 180 OPM that some machines have!
