Inside looks plain compared to the door
Good heavens! The pins in the lower rack are not all bent out of alignment and there is no rust. I'll bet it was used easy and then not at all after one of the spouses died or water was noticed on the floor. I had forgotten that old style detergent dispenser. It was so much better than that later plastic cup thing that flew open and threw the detergent all over things at the start of the wash fill and made spots on aluminum pieces. Would it have been more expensive to have it open at the same contact on the timer that shut the water valve for the wash fill or was that even possible? I'm sure what D&M did was cheapest. I wonder what the water comsumption is. Does the stainless steel half circle cover both detergent compartments? That could mean more than the usual 6 water changes, W,R,R,W,R,R like for a really heavy soil cycle with three washes. It's neat to see the permanent bridge between the two halves of the upper rack where it would fold in half in the top loading portables. Has anyone who used one of these ever put the silver basket across the front of the lower rack to allow use of the wide side space for skillets and such? I moved the silver basket in my Ultra Clean slightly toward the middle of the rack so that it has the first row of pins going through the first row of perforations in the bottom of it to create a slot for splatter shields, cooke sheets and such at the side of the rack out of the path of the upper wash arm if they are large enough to interfere with it.
