Well I took a little break from working on the Kelvinator to finish up my Forbiden-Cycle Plexiglass project for my KD-15 KitchenAid Dishwasher...

Yay for Plexiglass...

That was super Robert!

Robert,
Thanks so much for that fantastic treat! It was also great to see a picture of you.
You are really getting good with the plexiglass cutting! It worked great!
One question...Does the Hydrosweep turn even faster when there is a full load,loaded?
I just love the sounds!
Thanks once again.

Thanks everyone, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Brent I can’t take credit for cutting this Plexiglas door myself. I did make two attempts at first and both ended up to be a disaster. Lets just say after I tried each one I had a very clean kitchen floor after mopping up the mess. So I decided to go to Target and buy a big piece of poster board and cut out a template in the exact shape of the interior of the dishwasher well. I took the cutout to “Idyllic Acrylics” and they cut a perfect clear door and extruded it out one inch so it would clear the racks as they stick out of the well about 3/4”.

Steve, I rigged up the light using a rubber weather proof light socket and a coated 75 watt “Tuff-Bulb” both of which are available at Home Depot.

Here is a shot doing the first real load of dishes tonight. After the two pre-rinse cycles I pulled the door open just enough to pop in an Electrosol Gel-Pac.

Robert that is one cool dishwasher! LOVED the video--that spray arm moves FAST!!! YAY!

You had to laugh...after my Monitor tabletop washer arrived, I didn't realize you had to fill it up to the water line. I filled it halfway up the pulsator, and...well, let's just say I cleaned the cabinets, counter, and floor all at the same time!
 
Electro-Sol Gel paks

I hope you had better luck with the Electra-Sol Gel paks than I did in my '62 KM 600 TL DW. Besides the act that the dispenser design is not suited for them, it left a milky film over everything that looked like a hard water film. Scared me at first since it wouldn't wash off. Fortunately, it came off after I re-washed the load using Cascade. Called Reckitt & Colman who sent me coupons for a lot of their products. Currently using the powder Electra-Sol and it seems to work just fine.
 
Since these machines have no noise insulation you can really hear the water sweeping abound the tub. I can remember early on, hearing the water surge around in my parents old K-Aid. I kind of got the impression then that the spray arm did not turn too fast,but put out a very powerful spray. We used to pack it full and it always cleaned everything right the first time! Georgedon commented that he did not see how water could reach the things on the upper rack with the lower one loaded with pots and dishes, but it did and it got it all clean ---with that one spray arm!. Thanks to GregM I have a '65 Superba I can't wait to get hooked up. (I am remodeling the kitchen).Maybe I will be able to figure out Roberts' system for a little "Superba" entertainment! -Steve
