Well here is the premier wash load ready to go, I've had the heater on and its cycled off now so I know the water is nice and hot, ouch!
The Premire Wash Loads in the Youngstown Live!
- Thread starter Unimatic1140
- Start date
Some dirty stuff in there
Lighted from the inside of course, you know that means its video time!
All done, well they look clean...
Well it seems it got everything clean, even the spoon and that had been dried on for six hours. The the Cream of Wheat pot from this morning even is clean, I did soak that for a while though. The filter certainly caught some stuff too.
Now the Best Part
Here's the video, the knocking you hear is that 1/3 cup plastic measuring cup that I have hanging from the upper rack being knocked around by the spray.
The video is 3.4mb...

Very impressive to say the least! Of course, the light you placed inside is a nice touch too. I realize that it doesn't have the gigantic capacity of today's dishwashers. But, would you say that its short cycle time and washing performance could be practical in today's kitchen? (especially if you ignored the energy consumption of the water heater) Looks like it did a pretty solid job of cleaning to me.
I can't say Gene, too soon to tell after just a couple of loads. I'm sure there is a good reason Consumer Reports rated this dishwasher last, but time will tell.

What a cool machine! Do you suppose the 4 jets on the top of the spray tower are to keep it down, not flying up through the glass? I love the "Feed Me Seymour" dry cycle!

WOW
Robert, I do not know where you find the time. The work you do on your vintage appliances is amazing. You moved not that long ago into a new home, work, home chores, vintage appliances, .......... I could go on & on. You must have a very someone at home that helps make it all worth while. Congratulations on the Youngstown. Keep up the good work. Michael

NEATO!
The vertical spray arm, the top-load feature and the window really make it the most Amercian clothng-washer-like DW I have ever seen.
ENJOY.

Robert,
The video was so much fun! I just can't imagine how fun it is to hear and see your Youngstown work in person.
I just loved the way the steam entered into the machine when you first turned it on.
I was also shocked at how hard the pressure was during the wash. I always thought that the spray was like tiny little needles. Does not look like that at all. Looks very strong.
I also thought that the pump sounded so much like a Kitchenaid. It sounds very healthy.
You will love this dishwasher this winter with that pop up sauna end of cycle.
Hey, you could run this one, and the James this winter, and basically have a steam room.
Thanks for the video and the pictures.
I am so happy that you brought it back to life.
Brent

Luv that Pop Up feature!
It is soooo like Aloysius--pay attention to me NOW!
That washing action doesn't look shabby to me at all and it got your peanut butter off! Love the lighted interior shot I could stand over that all day.
Wonderful way to wake up before the gym.

Robert ... Great video!! Very impressive dishwasher!! I love the way the lid pops up when it's completed and all the steam comes pouring out. That's the only way to clean dishes; hot, hot, hot water!!
Thanks for sharing ...

Very cool Robert!
When it started washing I noticed it rocking. Does it really rock like that or was it the camera? The lid is cool as hell. I wonder how many people it freaked out when it popped open for the first time? Can you imagine how many kids had to show that to their friends!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you all enjoyed the video. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but a video…
Mark, I used 1/4 cup of Cascade Complete and nothing else. I just poured in into the machine just as if it was a washing machine. I figured a quarter cup is about what goes into filling both cups of a modern dishwasher. The machine is simply a gravity drain machine, but I did install an electric pump on its drain line and wired it in parallel with the drain valve solenoid circuit, that way I could install the machine anywhere I want.
Greg, during one cycle I covered those four holes on top of the Jet-Tower with duct tape. The Jet-Tower weights at least 10 pounds so there is no way it’s gonna lift off. I don't know exactly what the engineers at Youngstown were thinking with those four large spray holes on top. I would just take one hole to keep the window clean, maybe the spray fans out off the glass window and falls back down over the items loaded in the upper rack???
Brent I was thinking I could kill two birds with one stone by washing the dishes and when the lid pops up I can run over and get a facial too! That spring loaded lid is very strong; I bet it would throw some stuff off of it if someone accidentally left something on it.

Bethann the rocking was the video camera, I found the best way to film through this window lid was to put the tripod right on top of the dishwasher lid.
YAY for Yummy Youngstown!
Oh Robert!!!!
What a wonderful dishwasher! Austin showed me the video this morning!! I absolutely love that square wash tower!! Call me a bit crazy, but she looks and sounds like a washer (makes me wish modern top-loaders had clear windows).
You have done a fantastic job on her restoration! She is museum-quality minty!
Congrats again and ENJOY! :-D

Awesome!!!
That was so cool. Every dishwasher should have a window! Thanks for sharing and for saving this wonderful machine! I loved both the sights and the sounds. That pop-up lid was cool. Now I know why the instruction manual cautions against putting things on top of the lid when the dishwasher is in operations.
It got everything clean. I wonder why Consumer Reports rated it dead last? Maybe today's dishwasher detergent makes for superior cleaning?

Wow what a show! Restoration is second to none. The unit is so clean you could eat off of it.

Loved the video, As repeated from above, every dishwasher should have a window.
another fantastic restoration, I have got to get to a convention to see some of the restored machines.

How Fun !
It would have been a hard decision had mom been using one of these and runnning it at the same time as the washing machine!
