Friday BobLoad® Offering

Cycle

This load also ran on the Eco 65°C cycle. If the load would have been without the barbecue roast, I'd leave out the prerinse, but this was another gallon of water well spent <br<br
I hope that this will do for you, my new dishwasher will arrive in a few days and then I'll do bobloads Miele-style! :<br<br

wiljan, my dishwasher is a Sears Kenmore Elite (made by Whirlppol). Glad ya added some pics and loads. If I wated to stuff and stuff like you, I'd only run my dishwasher once a moonth and food would be petrified for sure.

Excellent pics - keep 'em coming! Let's make this the longest running thread ever<br
Here is my latest submission, I've been meaning to push the sani cycle button for two days and finally got it done tonight

I would take that Kitchenaid any day for loading dishes! It's so flexible..<br

Love that dishwasher, love the way of loading<br
@ Bob: Yer, I understand your point.. If you only have a bit of dishes per day, I can imagine that you don't want to wait a full month to get to this kind of loading *LOL
But all those dishes from my Bobload have 'gathered' in just one day<br
The dishwasher runs every night, so if I don't have that much pots and pans, the bottom rack is only half full.. But hat doesn't happen a lot<br
Can't wait to try my Miele, "they" say that it can hold more dishes.. And if I only need to do 2 loads in 3 days, it's even more efficient! <br
Too bad I can't show you some pictures of my new dishwasher, but if all goes well she'll be at our house and connected tomorrow! *joy<br
This is some kind of lame Miele picture, bottom right and top left are 2 pictures of my new one

Wiljan what Miele dishwasher did you get?....I have a Miele LaPerla that will come with us is we ever move. So far after having it over a year now ...no problems whatsoever. You will love it and it does hold alot of dishes. the racks are deceiving in that way they look but in mine they are very very flexible. The other thing you will notice is how well its made and how quiet it is
We had the Fisher & Paykel dishdrawer and in my experience with it and having it last a mere 3 years and then crapping out on us..I would never go back to that design ever again. i know that Dadoes has had good luck with his and I am glad that he has....but once things start to go on them its a money pit.

Yesterday, we picked up our new Miele G 1532 Sci<br
If all goes well, she'll be built in and running this afternoon :

Faith in Sensors

Sorry to burst your soap bubbles dudes, but I was able to track down the electrical schematics for Whirlpool, GE and Maytag's sensor dishwashers with the cycle charts.<br
Whirlpool uses a filter pressure sensor that is tripped when the fine filter chamber reaches a certain pressure, telling the computer that there is higher soil than usual. This engages the "heavy" soil program. Whirlpool sensor dishwashers only operate in a "light" or "heavy" variation. So if there was a ton of soil in that half rack load, the machine is going to run the full blown "heavy" variation cycle.<br
Maytag and GE both use LED light turbidity sensors. Maytag's computers use the same "heavy" or "light" designation. GE is the same, though I think the GE Normal Wash cycle has three soil variations<br
So though I highly respect the sensors, they are NOT as adaptive as you think.<br

1970's Mobile Maid

I needed to run the Mobile Maid tonight to keep the seals up to par. Here's a few shots...

Loading

Early tonight

 

[toploader55]

Could use a few more , but with the Lift Rack...

I couldn't get anything more into the top rack, as it would break the lift system.

 

[toploader55]

Tomorrow is...

KDS 18 Night
Everyone "Keep on Bob Loadin'"

 

[toploader55]

Oh Yeah,

4 Prewashes,Main Wash, 3 Rinses and about 9 gallons of water later, They better be clean LOL

 

[appnut]

Next load, bottom rack. Yeah I know, could be fuller, but I had baked a pound cake.

 

[appnut]

top rack. Now ya see why I wanted to go ahead and run it.

 

[appnut]

The following loads are kinda cheating. Both my parents are now in assisted living, as of mid-December, and I got some of the stuff from their kitchen I had said I wanted. Bottom left is the family's infamouse 1950s pressure cooker which dind't have good safety locks and exploded with contents all over kitchen ceiling and walls. My mom decommissioned it as a pressure cooker and it became a chili pot and spaghetti sauce pot over the years.

Top rack. Just what I "needed", more RevereWear. I ran this on SaniRinse option and the copper bottoms came out shning like new, even I was impressed. Lord only knows how old that collander is, it used to have "legs" on it. Around as long as I can remember.
