yuck!
yuck!
rinse temp
up to about 195 degrees
notice in the first pic there is a little toggle switch I installed on the left of the temp dial, I use it to stop the timer anywhere in the cycle so let it wash about an hour ( i don't like to pre-rinse)

all clean!

John, ya definitely have received the BobLoad certification. I love the cool afermarket timer enhancement.
Thanks man! You just can't forget to turn the timer off while it is filling or you get a big mess on the floor, not that I have done that <innocent face>. I like it so I can actually make it fill up more during the first flush - purge whatever you want to call it so I can get 2 rinses. TXU loves me for it since it uses more power than the a/c or the hottub combined. You should see the thing spin on the electric meter.
I have some video on a dead hard drive, so If i can't get that recovered will make some more, it's fun to watch!!
Wow!
Yeah, I was wondering about the juice consumption lol.
Hobart - STEELS - The Show!
Hey John!
Howdy from another in the Texas contingent! All I can say is WOW! That beautiful stainless Hobart is to die for!!
Excuse my ignorance, but is this considered a commercial dishwasher?
My "No-prerinse-o-phobia" kicked in when I saw the "before" load! Bob, quick...calm my nerves and reassure me that it's ok not to pre-rinse! ;-)

Den Mother, prerinsing is evil!! Prrinsing is evil!!! It is OK to put scungy dishare in your dishwasher!!
yup, it's commercial
You guys are great! Retromom, it is a commercial machine. The motor, pump, washarms, and body are just like the Kitchenaids of the same vintage but the body is in stainless steel. In fact, when i need pump parts, I usually get kitchenaid and put a Kitchenaid motor on cause Hobart wants 2-3x as much for them. 37 max amps on a 240 volt circuit. I got this for 150 bucks with the dayschool at the church was remodeling. I was working there when they got this machine, I got the even older hobart too, but the timer died many years ago and got rid of it (stupid me). This one gave them alot of problems so they finally got a Jackson (not as good). I have replaced the motor, pump, timer, booster element in the past couple of years so pretty much it is in really good shape now. The reason they got rid of it was because a seam on the corner of the booster heater split, but with the help of my dad and a welder we got it fixed. Should have alot of life left. You can find these on ebay all the time. I have seen one go for almost the cost of what this one was new which was about 2100.00 This particular models can come without a booster heater and run on 120 volt and use bleach for sanitization, but I like hot water!!!!!! So there energystar!!!!!!!!!!! The new Hobart Sr24 machines have almost identical pumps to this one but made of a different type of plastic. This one tends to warp over time.
You can find user manuals and parts manuals on the hobart website. Kind of fun to look. The models like WMES2 had the really old Kithenaid body style. If you go into the "smartparts" you kind find tons of info.
Anybody like mixers? I have some info that Kitchenaid sent me awhile back of the history of their mixers. Will be a while before I can get them on. Have fun y'all.

I think we should tell people with newer dishwashers that if they rinse and there is no food to grind, the internal food disposer will atrophy, rust and spread to the entire mechanism. The internal food disposer in a dishwasher needs food to chew to sharpen it's blades and the residue forms a colonic fiber cleaning to the pump and inner workings as it was designed to do. Too well rinsed dishes cause atrophy in the pump with the new detergents and and motor, causing costly repairs and dishwasher constipation.(Wink) "Scrape off anything big, like a turkey carcass, load the thing, hit on, and hope for the best" Peg Bracken, 1967, 'I Hate to Housekeep'." Now if she were alive would probably do some laundry in our new technolgy dishwashers that heat water, have multiple arms and sprays and are as quiet as kitten.

Peg Bracken IS still alive, still funny as hell, and still writing. I was asked to do an NPR interview about her a few weeks ago; I can let you know when it's to air soon.
To everyone who doesn't know about Peg: she wrote one of 1960's runaway bestsellers, titled "The I Hate to Cook Book". She followed it up with "The I Hate to Housekeep Book", "The Appendix to the I Hate to Cook Book", and "I Try to Behave Myself", which was an etiquette guide. Every one of them is funny, the recipes and tips work, and all the books are illustrated by Hilary Knight, who drew Kay Thompson's "Eloise". Doesn't get any better than that. Search eBay for a selection of Peg's books.

Wow, thanks for that update! I gotta know when you air that! She is really funny, and practical and elegant at the same time, and I think practical and elegant belong in the same sentence.
last load for the night
Been cooking the last 4 1/2 hours and this is the last load, got everything crammed in so I'm done for the night.
Sweet dreams y'all. In case you're wanting to know what I cooked here goes -
full pot of beef stew in the canner size pressure cooker, 2 Italian cream cakes, 2 doz chocolate dipped strawberries, a quadruple batch of cornbread and 16 large chocolate chip cookies. Some for camping and the rest for some friends of mine. By the way they both have just been diagnosed with cancer, the husband lung and the wife breast - so please keep them in your prayers!!!!!!!
