When it happens to you, you know why CR hated it

[roto204]

Reminiscent of the GE that was knocked for the piece of plastic trim that collected food particles.

The dishes were spotless, but when the tank isn't, it's of little consolation.

Yuk.

Oh Gross! I don't think there is a term for that redeposited soil other than to say it looks like your dw hurled chunkletts. When it's dried on like that it's worse than yibblets. Was something large in that corner blocking the water?

Is that a Hotpoint?

oink-oink

I had one of the first KitchenAId tall-tubs (read: Whirlpool) that used to leave yibbles and bits in the drinking glasses, but not so much on the door.

Oddest things was that even using a no-heat dry(always) the crud in the glasses stuck like glue. Otherwise, I liked the machine a lot!

It got kicked to the curb in favor of new water-hog MOL GE.

John had a tall-tub KA that had some sort of little mesh basket for heaven-knows-what. It turned out to be a filter of sorts, grabbing stuff out of the flying water and trapping it to present you with a lovely mess at the cycle's end.

Is that a Hotpoint?

No, I think it's a Frigidaire.

 

[gansky1]

It is a Frigidaire! What a crushing blow to the initial elation of "look how much I got into this load!" and the confident swinging open of that door at the end of the cycle.

Awwwwww, dang!

 

[roto204]

Greg!

It is a Frigidaire.

And as for you, Mister...

;-)

Blocked water

Actually, there wasn't anything blocking the water--but I swapped in the five-level tower rack with the bellows/freefloating tower configuration. It's not as good at hitting the far corners as the space needle, but you get loads more room in the bottom rack when you don't have the cutout for the tower.

Sigh.

To be fair, this was a filthy load of dishes--and there wasn't any redeposition on the dishes, just this gak layer on the top of the door.

 

[gansky1]

We've all had this with any dishwasher, even within the hallowed tanks of a Hobart KitchenAid terrible spray-failures can happen. The worst offender was that dreadful Ariston that could catch a whole chicken behind the open detergent dispenser door!

 

[roto204]

*faints*

Oh, Lord, I had almost forgotten about that little gem. That was an interesting machine. Super-cute, though. The only thing was the rough coating on the racks and the fuzzies on the spray arms from--hasty molding? Who knows.

For a basic dishwasher, it had some neat features. And the price was great--but talk about a machine that could benefit from a constant rinse.

Still, it was quiet, and styled in that sexy way that Italian stuff tends to be.
