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... CLICK HERE TO GO TO unimatic1140's LINK |

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 ... |

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. |

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! |

Thanks Tom, yes the steam is much more noticeable with the dishwasher tank lighted from the inside. You are correct that was the first fill that I filmed and it was only condensed shots of the fill, the Tower moves like you say, turning in bits and starts at first, then it progressively gets faster and stronger as more water fills into the machine. I was surprised about the Cream of Wheat pot coming clean too, but I soaked it all afternoon, but there still was some cereal left clinging to the bottom and sides of the pot, it must be the combination of the very hot water and Cascade Complete. You are probably right about the 4 holes on top to let larger bits of food escape, I never thought of that Tom that's a really good theory. Now hopefully I can get the pump seal and bearing taken care of and finish this project. Wow an Apex Dish-a-Matic with a window lid I knew about, but I never realized they came with a lighted interior! That would be a cool find to say the least. |

Robert, I don't think I could add anything that hasn't already been said. It's interesing how something can be so hot and so cool at the same time! I'm also pleased (and dangalang may be, too) that you make coffee in a percolator. Gotta love those P/S perks! Does yours have the light in the bottom? veg |

I also bet that the 4 holes placed as they are atop the holes in the corner assures that there are no airlocks in the tower due to superheated air from the hot water; as that would prevent water from climbing up the tower completely to spray out all the holes top to bottom. You'd have missed areas of cleaning if it did vapro lock just like an Amana Radarange with a bad stirrer and uneven heating spots. |

Robert, I was blown over. I do not remember "grammas'" tower twirling that fast. At best it was half between that initial segment and the final washing segment with it twirling around as it was. If it had twrirled that fast, I really would have gotten into the machihne. Yes, I did enjoy watching it though. And glad to have the memories refreshed.

I was thinking the exact same thing Tom, the pump pressure sensor is mounted next to the pump. The pump outlet port has a small spring loaded rod that moves in and out, the higher the water pressure moving through the pump outlet up to the Jet-Tower the further this rod moves out. When it reaches its necessary force the rod pushes a button on a microswitch which starts the timer motor moving, which shuts off the water valve. This microswitch is not mounted very securely so I could see how it could get moved slightly during transit.

There's a movie in the Prelinger Archives about this dishwasher called "The Last Word in Automatic Dishwashing". It's a movie for salesmen that is supposed to help selling this dishwasher to the housewife. I love the Prelinger Archives and will start a new thread about it in the Super forum. Lots of gems there.

Sounds like a great idea and if you have really hot water they should dry pretty well. Terry |

On a machine that still has the "Plate Warm" cycle, one can use that after the 2 Rinse & Hold cycles to cut drying time. |
