Progress, progress on the '63 Dishmobile

[magic clean]

Volvoguy, you can place the silverware basket in the lower rack if you prefer. The left side of the rack permits this.

Johnnb300m, the spray arm jet are arranged in a way to concentrate the spray on the items in the rack and to a lesser degree on the tub.

Nate, the standpipe you've noted serves as a vent to prevent air-locking of the pump. The loading diagram on the door of the Dishmobile is priceless. It's an appliance work of art!

Leslie!

Love it, love it, love it. You are forever providing insight and unlocking great mysteries for us. Thank you!!

That's so cool--I had no idea that's what that tiny tube was for. And yes, that was both a very quiet dishwasher (even with a plastic tub) and a great one (though I was forbidden to run the Super Scour cycle--Grrr)--it definitely didn't put much spray racket on the tub. My mom, thus, wasn't totally overwhelmed by how quiet the KA was that replaced it. (I should have begged her to buy a GE so she'd learn.)

We always left the rack on the door and never had a problem with this. And the extra bottom rack space was appreciated. Now that it's been years since I had a WP dishwasher, it was odd to move here and have one again, but loading the basket is like riding a bicycle.

I too love the loading instructions on the door--isn't that hysterical? All information should be glazed into the porcelain or stamped into the door. :-D It's probably the only way to get the user to read it.

And yes, believe it or not, fry pans and saucepans clean well in the bottom rack.
