nmaineman36, my understanding is that F&P has *nothing* to do with the Kenmore drawers, Maytag did develop it independently, started before the sale to Whirlpool. Other than being drawers, the mechanism is a complete redesign. It does not use F&P's SmartDrive variable-speed reversible motor, the lid mechanism is different, etc. You can order DishDrawer parts from F&P directly, or from Sears Parts online at http://www3.sears.com. However, something is wonky with Sears database and F&P model numbers sometimes aren't recognized. Keep trying until it works. I had the same thing happen with my DishDrawer. One of the filter covers cracked and tended to sag down, blocking the wash arm. I took it off in the interim, being as it really isn't needed with the silverware basket in place. When I had opportunity, I called F&P, they sent a replacement at no charge after confirming my serial number ... may have been just a few months past the two-year warranty period. There is a redesigned lid motor available now, which runs quieter. A pair of lid motors from Sears was about $64 last time I looked. My DD603 is now past four years old (purchased in summer of 2002 IIRC), and never any trouble with it beyond the cracked filter cover. | ||

I'm a new member, and have owned a F&P double drawer for almost 2 years. I've never had problems and it cleans quite well. I entertain often and one or both drawers run every single day, if not more frequent. I have read reviews on other sites of this brand, and it seems like there are lots of people who have gotten "lemons". Guess I am lucky (at least for now?) Shawn | ||

The major problem with every imported dishwasher is that they don't come with a built in disposer(The LGs are the only ones that do.)Instead,they have a filter that needs to be cleaned every time you unload them.If not,they can get real rancid from the spoiled food particles they hold.as far as Maytag working on a dishwasher project prior to take over is concerned,I can't fathum how Maytag being in the financial dissorder they were due to faulty Neptunes and refrigerators D.O.A.(dead on arival)could have afforded to have any projects of any kind going on other than replacement/service on their failiers.

Very nice! When my Bosch dies, I will be getting one of those Kenmore dish drawers. That would look fabulous in my kitchen! | ||

I have to agree with Nathan, my nephew and family have the Bosch dishwasher. They do scrape large pieces of food from plates but do not pre-rinse. I have never seen anything in the filter. He has also said that whenever they check it is always clean. | ||

The other important factor with a proper filter Is that you never get nibblets stuck on anything or in the bottom of cups. Because they're not recirculated in the tub, they cant get stuck to anything. | ||

Too bad our washers over here don't have filters you can clean by hand anymore. | ||

No offense to Bob (Appnut) but.... Since I pre-rinse my dishes, I don't have any filter problems. However, I do clean the filter about once every month. I wish more dishwashers had built-in food disposals though. | ||

No Louis..... ..it was my poor, deprived childhood when I grew up with no dishwasher and no garbage disposal! I'm so used to making sure that there is nothing left on the plates that they are just about ready to reuse as is!! Where is Dr. Phil when I need him? LOL | ||

Venus, Gasnky didn't prerinse when he had his Asko. He has told me he RARELY EVER found anything in the filter for that dishwasher and I know he puts ome erally disgusting things taht have been practically blow torched on. Glenn, no disrespect, but the load(s) I did at your house at the wash-in, everything was wiped down so thoroughly before putting the the drawers, there wasn't hardly any food particles that I noticed. Just largely residue. Didn't get to just throw that rice pan & frijoles pan right in there. | ||

On night while dealing with yet another sink full of dishes, ask MaMa why we didn't have a dishwasher. Reply came quickly, "I have a dishwasher. You!" Moral of this story is oen should pay particular attention to sentence structure. Query should have been worded " why don't we have an AUTOMATIC dishwasher. *LOL* Just as an aside, tried the same line on one of my grandmothers, especially since she was having her kitchen redone, the response was the same but a bit more expanded as she has a housefull of grand-children to put into service at any given time. The smart ones soon learned to get their food down and bolt from the table! *LOL* L. L. | ||
