So, let's have a look at the Frigidaire DWCDTR dishwasher...

Rinse aid

The mechanism is electric - a solenoid is tripped by timer in the 2nd rinse.

Wasn't it just GE who had the mechanically operated rinse aid dispenser? I  have a mid 60s Canadian Mobile Maid with the 'Rinse-Glo' selector but I've never played with that machine to find out for sure... Shame on me... LOL

HAHAHAHAHA

"Hubby....reminded me that 3 dishwashers in the Ogden kitchen is not his ideal number. I suggested 5 and got a really dirty look..."

You are a real riot, Paul.

Thanks, Glenn; knew something wasn't right.
