My Dishwasher just died (I think) *see video link*

New Dishwasher - Samsung?

Looks like you need a new dishwasher. The new dishwashers aren't like the old ones...I have a new GE and though very quiet, the racks are frustrating, doesn't dry well, and it doesn't clean my Whirlpool short tub. Anyway, this new Samsung looks interesting:

Oh sure

I will do a video and post it

also, I'm assuming it's OK to use the institutional cascade in these newer machines, right?

Ahm....

... 2 things:
1. He has already ordered a new Maytag. Quite a water usage (up to 12 gal or 50l each cycle) but it will wash dishes!
2. Seriously? Samsung? As often noted: Good phones, good TV's and may be even good microwaves, but DW? No way!!!

Looks like a nice machine.

 

Mark, I guess it's good you know your limits on installation, but it is really not that complicated.

 

[jkbff]

DW's are easy to install... As far as physical installation there are two screws that attach the DW to the cabinets. For the cord, since I am using mine freestanding, I put a commercial 14ga vacuum cord on mine so I had a long enough cord.

Plus, if I can handle doing the plumbing, anyone can. Given you have threaded connections coming from the wall that is.

One of the things I love the most about mine is you can take the top rack out when you need to put big stuff in.

On that note, if you wanna really test the ability of this machine, let your dishes stack up until the 18th and put them in the maiden voyage without rinsing them... Use your institutional Cascade, choose Jetclean Plus Steam, Hi Temp wash, Heated dry and Sani Steam rinse and you'll truly find out what that machine can do. ;-) When people ask about the mountain of dishes, tell them its product research.. LOL

Hi Mark!

Love Joshua's idea. Good Luck, Buddy. But If you were nearby or if you're driving anywhere near here, you can borrow one of my portables. Honest. Is a road trip in the offing?

12 gallons is the max that it will use, with Heavy Wash + all options. You'll never use that much though. A Normal wash with medium soil uses less than 6 (<2 gal per fill, give or take with purges depending on soil). I put the drain hose into a 5 gal bucket and it didn't reach the top, so 6 gal is probably pushing it. Plus the fact that a dishwasher DOES require water to do a good job, regardless of what the eco-hippies and government say.

Someone mentioned melted plastics in bottom

On my current dishwasher, it DID have hi temp wash (but not sani rinse). I always used pots/pans with high temp wash (but never the dry cycle). A lot of time I do put plastics in the bottom because I never use the dry cycle because when the dishwasher is done, I always open it and everything is dry pretty quickly after a few min's......If I avoid the heat dry cycle on this do you think it will be ok to put plastic in the bottom occasionally, or will this get much hotter than my old one?

Thanks

 

[murando531]

I usually put plastics on the bottom with no problem other than the cheaper containers occasionally flipping over, but that's about it. I've never had anything melt, but I also never use Heated Dry either. Just Normal with an occasional Hi Temp when things are nasty. The interior and plastics always get nice and dry after propping the door when the clean light comes on.

If its plastic that is not meant to go in the microwave, I'd wash it top rack only.. The steam cycle gets the water super hot (to make steam) and that heat radiates up.

I've only had problems with non-microwaveable stuff, the microwaveable stuff can handle the heat.

A good example is the rainbow water pan off my new rainbow... I could wash it in my edgestar and my kitchenaid, but not this guy.. it flattened like a pancake..

 

[mark_wpduet]

Gotcha

I know all tall tub dishwashers hold taller items, and I was always able to get tall things in both top and bottom.....but I notice the top rack on this maytag looks as if you can fit REALLY tall items on the top rack right side. These tall cups I have are so tall that they would barely make clearance when I would pull the rack out or in to load more and it was annoying because sometimes they would get caught so I just put them in the bottom.

I never considered putting my rainbow water basin in the dishwasher. LOL

Whirlpool DU1055XTSB1 7 years old died also

We just replaced ours a couple of months ago. The same happened to our DW. The control on your DW looks just like the one we had. It was only 7 years old. Replaced it with a Whirlpool WDF750SAYB3. It is so quiet and cleans great!!!

You'll enjoy your new DW!!

 

[jerrod6]

Sorry a bit off topic but what is a rainbow water basin?

 

[mark_wpduet]

It's the part of a Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner that holds the water that the dirt gets sucked into.

 

[tolivac]

In the owners manuals for the Rainbow cleaners I have-they tell you NOT to wash the Rainbow water bin in the dishwasher.They say to rinse the bin out with clear water or at worse wash it with soapy water by hand.

 

[mark_wpduet]

I am M I S E R I B L E without a dishwasher!!!!!

 

[murando531]

When will your new Maytag be in?

 

[mark_wpduet]

OK - so

this dishwasher is here and is getting installed today between 8 and 9 am.

It's so funny! The SAME thing happened the last time I ordered a dishwasher from Whirlpool last time. A mere week after I ordered it, they STOPPED making that model! (LOL) and now they stopped making this particular one. It's no longer on the Whirlpool site. It's HEAVY!!

Nice dishwasher, though.
