Official Bob-load or little "baby" load?

The DW is a Maytag. Extended his hose with some surgery, and now don't have to roll him to the sink. It reaches from in-place.

Rinse & Hold doen only because I will be away for two days.

Top rack.

Notice the general LACK of cheap platics (lids only in plastic)in the machine! (Ducks and runs)

Stainless steel, glass, pyro-ceram and Correlle dishes only for this guy's food storage!

Anyone notice the clean/dirty indicator? Of course all of you nosey bitches.... er concerned citizens... did! LOL

It's to indicate status of DW, but black-on-black is hard to read, so on washer it went.

YAY!

Your immediate concern and lack of hesitation are admirable!

WOOO-HOOO.

I'm a big-boy now!

Honey there is not enough surgeries on the planet. ....anyway I digress..
 
The indcator bings back memories of my aunt's mid-60's Whirlpool DW (the first DW I had ever seen!) with a rotary-style telephone dial!
 
Anyone notice the little Corning Ware skillet, (handle straight up) left side of rack, center?

A whole buck (quid=> UK)in thrift shop.
 
Toggle, I LOVE the "rotary dial" RCA Whirlpool! I mentioned that in a dw thread in the other section.

Nicely done load as well...has Maytag gotten rid of the dreaded center post, or am I missing it in the pic?

No, you're not missing it. With the 'tall tub' design, they eliminated the tower and now have a washarm under each rack. That's a total of three arms for a two rack dishwasher or FOUR spray arms in a three rack model. Toggles just has that upper rack so crammed... errr... efficiently loaded that you can't see the full sized arm under it...

I loved my Maytag TT....until the mother board smoked and would turn the heating element off and on at will. Fire is bad karma! They clean very well and hold a ton of dishes (as Togs has demonstrated). I especially came to love the terraced upper rack. You can put very tall things on one side---super flexible. And you can stand two 13" x 9" baking pans on end at the left side of the lower rack, with the upper rack still in its low position. Talk about a space-saver. That's the one thing I can't do with my LG.

And now that you've received The Great Man's blessing, it's all official.
 
Yes Steve I notice the Dirty/Clean button but what is it attached to? Looks like maybe a front loading washer!!
 
Thanks RCD the redesign was a good call on their part. Frig, I'm so sorry you had such an awful issue. I"ll have to look at the LG site, I didn't even know there were LG dishwashers!

Terry, I think it's a f/l washer in the Frigidaire family.
 
I have a Maytag as well, and does a good job.. Only draw back are the corners on the upper racks.. I can't put tall glasses since the water can't get into the corner. so I trie to make sure I don't put glasses on the corner.
 
~has Maytag gotten rid of the dreaded center post, or am I missing it in the pic?

RCS is correct; no more center post/tower.

This pic was taken while the machine was in a "normal" cycle.

Terry: Lawrence/MB is correct it is attached to a F/L Frigidaire with a rear contol panel.

Here is a pic of my "holy trinity".
DW was running at time of pic.

220v 30a standard North-American electric dryer. Being used on 110v 20a. "Plug-and-play" regular kitchen outlet. I do believe the dryer now consumes 15 or fewer amp(ere)s. Notice the very heavy-duty extension cord going up the wall to the outlet. That is the gray one and it's for the dryer!

Thanks all for your comments!

One can't tell in the picture but the dryer is decidedly more "cream" in its white than the washer is, which is "purer" white!

Here are the quick-connects that convey water and "drainage" to the machines.

Left is washer; right,currently connected, is the DW.

A screw and a molly-plug in thge wall keep them against the wall. Bit of "curliqued" string helps me attach them to the wall when not in use.

Please excuse the cleanser powder (Ajax, Comet) in the sink. It is my anti-infestation weapon of choice. Don't want no creepy-crawlies coming in to visit. No water + no food = no insects.

Close-up of dryer's extension cord and heavy-duty (male) plug.

Say hello to my little fishie, "Beta-Max" is his name- a Male Betta.
