Thanks for clarifying that for me Tom.
I was thinking it was Spray, Wash, Rinse, Wash, Rinse. With how you described it, I can now see how those tablets might work out, but of course you are right that the impeller and other things need to be taken care of first. I had no idea that this machine was as inferior as all that with the motors. I'm disappointed in that as I was hoping this was a pretty tough unit. Still and all, at the end of the day, my purpose for this machine was predominately as a sentimental, attractive, built in, dish rack for hand washed dishes, so if it doesn't get restored and fully working, I can't say I'm too let down. What I think I may do now, is keep the 1965 Frigidaire Imperial Dishmobile that I was thinking I would sell if this Hotpoint were functional or could be expected to be lightly restored to become functional. The Dishmobile is a "low mileage" unit, and should do fine for the few times I would want a fully working DW. This info about the Hotpoint motors lack of reliability is helpful to know so thanks again Tom.
