Oh my, that POD brought back memories! The dishwasher I grew up with was a re-badged Westinghouse (an Eaton Viking) perhaps a few years newer than the model in the POD. I remember the Hot Water Booster clearly and how the wash impeller continued to run during the dry cycle. I also remember how disappointed my mother was when we replaced that dishwasher in 1978 and the GE Potscrubber we got didn't have fan-forced drying! Well, there may just be a similar Westinghouse clone making its way into the collection - IF all goes well.... |

Funny, but I remember that the lack of pre-rinse was something my late mother complained about on this type of machine... I cleverly got around it by runinng the machine on the 'rinse and hold' cycle (it simply filled, rinsed, then drained) BEFORE the normal cycle and that got around most issues. I also remember that pause in the cycle as the Hot Water booster kicked in, but it did a pretty good job as I recall! |
