Tonights dirty dishes

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

My goodness Leslie. Of courwse, I want to know what all were the soils in that load, particularly the crockpot, the corning 10' skillet looking dish, as well as the rest of the pans and skllet. I odn't think mine will be near that "crowded" tonight, although I've been doing some cooking today. We've had that discussion about crockpot liners not easily coming clean in the dishwasher.
 
The morning

after:

Lower rack:

everything is clean. The crockpot liner had residue from a chuck (pot) roast. Basically cooked on meat juices. The frying pan was used to brown the roast before slow cooking, so it had cooked on meat juices. The saucepan was used for mashed potatoes. You can see streaks or film on the pan, does not appear to be food residue, but heat tint.

Finish Quantum no phosphate

Upper rack

results; everything clean up here:

Corning ware casserole was used to prepare creamed spinach. The saucepan had beef gravy cooked with Wondra flour for thickening. The sieve strained the gravy and was coated with beef bits, flour & gravy.

Lets look

at the filters. They stay acceptably clean with scraped and mostly unrinsed dishloads. Excess amounts of loose food residue gets scraped off. We only rinse large amounts of tomato sauces. There can be the occasional bit of solid food that will be trapped in the coarse strainer. I.E. Lima bean, potato peel etc.

Lots to love about the tiered Maytag upper rack and the convenience of being able to load oversized items up top and that 13 x 9 baking pan and large cutting board along the outside edge of lower rack. Plus the centrally located flatware basket make sure your silver gets scrubbed from all sides. Very nice!
 
I'm always amazed at the American(?) tradition of loading baking pans etc. upright - as if they were plates! One would assume these deep items don't come out clean as water only sprays up and down, not sideways.

I have that same Maytag design, and no way would it clean as well as yours. Those standing Pyrex casseroles and baking pan would have to lean in my machine. I have a similar cutting board, loaded just as yours, that emerged with tomato seeds stuck to the top. I use Heavy Wash with Hi-Temp option and Heated Dry, trying all brands of detergents.

I now have yibbles adhering to the door where it meets the right-hand side of the upper rack. And a sludge residue accumulates under the door as well. All dishes are scraped, and run daily. I check to ensure there is plenty of hot water in the tub, and both arms move freely.

The Maytag is about 3 years old. It replaced a Kitchen-Aid that was also 3 years old when the pump failed. This Maytag in no way compares with the far-superior tower-design Maytag I had in another house about 8 years ago. I think the next machine will be a BOL with a knob, and i'll just wash the dishes before loading like my Mother did.

BOSCH AND OTHER EUROPEAN DISHWASHERS

Are all much too small inside you would never get the size load pictured in them. Otherwise the new WP built machines with the filter probably aren't any better than the European machines, except that at least they can be repaired in place. I will never install another machine that has a filter that holds food residue in the machine that the final rinse water flows through. Even my 1984 KA KDSS-20 always smells a little musty-stale when you first open it in the morning compared to the 1987 WP power Clean machine. Its not that I am lazy but why have a machine that you have to keep disassembling and cleaning when this machine does a beautiful job packed full of really dirty dishes in less than an hour. Its needed only a new inlet valve in 23 years and has never needed any type of cleaning inside.
