Hello all! So lately Ive been using my Hotpoint Potwasher dishwasher (80's GE Potscrubber) on a weekly basis We never used this dishwasher at all, it is original to our 60's home. We started using it more frequently just this month, now were using it almost every other night. Works and cleans so good! Anyway, I was so sick of the white and wood exterior and I covered all that nasty looking old style up with some stainless steel contact paper! A total transformation!
Now your probably wondering, why the heck is there a whirlpool dishwasher upper spray arm on the top rack? Well, Im in the middle of making some modifications to the dishwasher so that the top wash arm can be operated.
Since there is two extending sprayers that shoot out of the lower spray arm that's what's supposed to clean the top rack. It doesn't do that well of a job for me, and Im taking out the very top jet that sprays the top rack so that there is a direct water flow that shoots up into the upper spray arm, I just need to add a tower so that the water has a thinner pattern going into the upper wash arm to activate it. It already does well without the tower, but when I get it, it will operate a million times better!
Yes, we have well water. I have to get some iron out and clean the dishwasher, I havent in a few years. We just got a new water softener so the rusting wont be as big as an issue now once I clean it again. I also do run monthly cleaning cycles of vinegar and baking soda on an empty, hot cycle!
