Sunday Nite Wash - Frigidaire Style

[swestoyz]

Hey Guys - I finally found some time this weekend to get the needed aerator for use with the recently aquired D&M/Frigidaire dishwasher from Robert. After a few test runs and trials with the timer settings earlier on Saturday, I was able to run the first wash this evening after dinner with Crystal. I was quite impressed with the washer's ability to not only clean, but entertain as well! Take a look ~

Hi, Swestoyz. How does that impeller dishwasher work? esp. getting water to the top rack? Let us know...Bill in Az...

Very nice, Ben! That is such a fun machine and representative of so many brands made by D&M - all in one compact space.

Nice score on the Porta-Washer cover too, I've seen those in the manuals.

Bill, in response to your question about water getting to the top rack. First of all the impeller can rotate at up to 1800 rpms. The blades on the impeller are angled (varied by brand) such that it flung the water u[p and around the inside. This force of water manages to get to the top rack items, as long as you don't put something in the bottom rack face down such as a mixing bowl or sauce pans. Those were placed in the corners int he bottom rack facing toward the center. I actually saw this machine run like it is at the 2001 convention. KInda of facinating. The currents of thrown water actually kinda turned into awall of water that moved itself around the tub using the sides to help that awll go higher as well as around the tank. What was fascinating was that as that wall rached each cup and glass (in the glass I could see what aws happening) there was a kihnd of swirling action that scrubbed the inside as the wall of water rotated through the tub. Just my rememberance on how the loads worked. Bob

Thanks guys - but the real thanks goes to Robert. I am so glad to have this "Forbidden Cycle" here in my apt, and makes a wonderful apt machine!

Bob - you are right on the money! You have a great memory of the washing styles of this machine. I had a few Pyrex bowls on the top shelf, and could see the independent swirl-washing action taking place in each piece.

Veg - hey, it was a Sunday nite, and instead of coffee, I felt like Living the High-Life! Notice most beer's posted aren't of the usual variety, but those that either made Milwaukee famous, or taste like it!
