Here is a full frontal view for you. I checked, the roaster is almost touching the tower, but not quite. They are washing right now, I'll see if all comes clean in 140 degree water. May have to turn it a little higher. |

Does your Maytag have the heated air drying? If so, did you use it on this load, and did the plastic container in the bottom rack come out dry? |

Barry nice machine !
This summer I got one for Mike ( dishwashercrazy ) the same model. That machine sure does have a powerful spray system ! How did the load come out ? Did you bake a turkey in that roaster pan and was it greasy ? Peter here is a control panel shot in a video. Happy Thanksgiving everyone ! Turn those Dishwashers ON ! Darren k |

Seems to be the way more and more are going these days!
Some of our family in the South did it, and heard many in the area went that way as well. Dinner yesterday was paper but the *good* stainless was hauled out. Coffee/cake was same. Who wants to wash all those dishes? Even with automatic dishwashers the cost of water and power (especially in NYC) is becoming dear. I mean if it's just a small group one supposes it doesn't matter, but once you start going >10 or so it's much eaiser to go with paper plates. My cousin hit upon the idea several years ago of stocking up on those styrofoam containers fast food and other places use. For any family event that involves people taking home a *plate* ..... |

Barry I got that dishwaseher for Mike at habitat for humanity. It was in great shape, Mike washed the sump out just a little brown in one corner ..nothing much to be concerned about. There was no calcium deposits in the or around the wash modual. I would like to see a big dirty load in your machine , for I did not have a chance to make a load at Mike's place. Hope you had a nice thanksging.
Peter & laundress ... I gag at the fact when peaple use paper plates at a nice function. I mean like family dinners. Paper plates are nice to use when you want a platter to take home , but give me dishes at the table. There was a nice set up with friends and family this year... But..lol..hold on..
Barry here's a pic of the Maytag sump after cleaning... very little dust and some browning cleaned up great !

Darren sorry to here that you were put out of the kitchen when you were offering help, your hosts were the real losers. But I would have real droughts that this person is a real friend if they cannot recognize your talents and abilities. And does this friend have no respect for the environment? or any respect for
His dishwasher
His dishes
His plumbing He is harming all these items by pre-rinsing dishes.
I go to a lot of very nice dinner parties and no one has ever tried to stop me from putting thier dishes in thier machine dirty. Sometimes they have briefly questioned that I was putting them covered with food but the results have always been great.
As far as using paper plates or worse yet plastic plates and table ware to eat on when guests are in your home I could never imagine doing this. I am going to have are Xmas car club dinner at my house again this year and we will serve about 85 people dinner and not one paper plate let alone paper napkin or paper towel will be used.
Even if it costs 50 cents to run a full cycle in a DW that doesn't buy many paper plates and it is far easier to get plates out of the cabinet and put them away after they come out of the DW than going to the store. |

Usually Thanksgiving dinner is hosted at my favourite aunt's house, has been that way for ages now and the rest of us have *our* own holiday/event to host.
It's her kitchen and her house, old as I am would have to eat Thanksgiving dinner through a straw if I tried to impose *my* views on how Aunt D should run her house/host a dinner. For years we did use china and silver but many of the older women in the family who have been doing family event dinners longer than I've been on this earth saw it as a waste of time and energy. This even as cousins and I have been old enough to reach the sink have been drafted into clearing and washing up. Even this Thanksgiving found me in the kicthen with my hands in hot water! *LOL* So it's not like the senior females of the family have much to do with KP duty, other than supervising where things go and calling us back to fetch. For the record my aunt does have a dishwasher (besides her daughter, grand-daughters, nieces etc...), but she rarely uses the thing. Like many old school southern women the thing is a "comfort", and does serve a purpose sometimes... If Mr. Obama or someone equally important was coming to Thanksgiving dinner have no doubt we'd break out the *good stuff*, but for just the family I for one am not opposed to "paper". I say this as one who has been stuck in that kitchen with hands in hot water for hours washing and drying dishes that aren't even mine. Am probably the only person I know that rolls up to family events with Playtex gloves and extra hand lotion in my bag! *LOL* Often one would notice on the drive home one had wash day red hands. |

In many situations I have been in I was always able to load many dishwashers. And mostly always without prerinsing. The people that let me do the loading always said I got the most tableware in and always got surpurb results. I am happy I had the privligle of loading a lot of vintage machines. It was so great especially after many dinner parties.
But their are still those that not only prerinse but some people put them in so clean you can eat off them. (what a waste of energy) - but botton line you will never get through to them so I don't even bother to try. Remember a Leopard dosent change it spots. As for paper plates - this is the way the world has become - some feel it is easier not to fuss. Even though I am not into paper plates except maybe at a barbacue or if a lack of a dishwasher, I still perfer to see people user paper goods than to see people pre washing dishes before loading in the dishwasher.
