Chris (Machinehead) was kind enough to email me a PDF copy of his James Dishwasher Owners Manual. For years I thought my 1953 James was missing the silverware basket, but now I know it's not, they tell you to put the silverware under the dishes in the bottom rack of all places. Well I would have never guess that! Give this file a minute or two to download as it is 10mb in size.

What an amazing dishwasher! I love the idea of having that "7/32" plate glass so you can check on how well you loaded the machine. My kind of people! I have never seen one and only knew of its existence from the "Manufacturers that recommend Electrasol" panel on the side of the box. Have you posted pictures of your machine? It's a pity that as appliance evolution progressed everything moved towards sameness. When people ask me to recommend a new appliance these days, my stock snide response is: "What's the difference?" |

This is great! Thanks Robert for posting, and Chris for sending it to Robert! Do you use it often Robert? Have you ever did a huge load in it? It seems like a very good dishwasher. Brent |

Do you use it often Robert? Have you ever did a huge load in it? Hi Brent, I love to use it in the winter cause it really heats things up, this time of year I don't really use the James, but I did tonight just for the fun of it. It doesn't really wash that much, the Frigdiare and Westinghouse upstairs hold a lot more. It seems like a very good dishwasher. It's OK, you really need to use the Sterile rinse function to ensure clean dishes, but boy does it get HOT. That is interesting about the syringes, I never heard that, OUCH is right! Chris, the only part my machine is missing is the glass bottle, can you take a couple of pictures of it and post it here so I know what to look for? Thanks! |

Hi Chris, thank you so much for the pictures. Now I know what goes there and what to look for. Like the rest of the mechanics in this dishwasher, there is a whole "Rue Goldberg machine" style way of filling that little green bottle. There is a separate tiny fill hose for the bottle mechanism and the hose is sandwiched between a metal platform and a wall. Normally the platform is pushed up hard against the wall which squeezes and kinks the hose which prevents the water from entering the jar. But during the final rinse one of the timing cams pulls the platform away from the hose which unsqueezes the hose and lets water fill the bottle. I'll have to film that sometime when I get a chance. How about some pictures of your machine, I'm dying to see the blue racks! |

I checked through the manual, but could not find a reference for it. That manual is very cool, btw. |
