The dishwasher was already full and should have been run the night before, but the gal in the main house had some kind of plumbing problems. This meant we could only have the water on briefly, so I did not run the machine that night.

By the time these pictures were taken, the dishes had begun to *stink* a bit. Ewww gross!

Everything came out of my Kenmore Ultra wash clean, but Dennis put the dishes away before I could take more pictures.

Whoa! Until you mentioned it was a Kenmore, I was sure it was a Whirlpool. Is your KM a WP-made machine? It looks so similar to the WP portable I had a number of years ago. Nice BobLoad®, too.

*oh Gary. LOL!*

In its day that WP was my FAVORITE DW.

Odd to me that wash water-heating is NOT a default, but that rinse water-heating is.

*SOB* everyone gets a Bob-load seal-of-approval but me....

Another two days went by and my roommates and i filled the Haier up again. This one, if you ask me, is more of a "BobLoad" than the last one I did. The other, there was some room to spare...this one, is quite full to the hilt.

Peter, this machine is ... oddly, a mut between both. it has a Whirlpool chasis and timer with GE pumps and motors.
the wash system consists of a whirlpool spray rotor and a GE pop up tower.
for what it is, and because it has the powerful GE induction motor, it cleans quite well, even in the top rack.

P.S. Don't ya love that hot dog holder thingie. It's the little things in life we do to keep our loved ones happy!! In the picture it looks as though it would block the water to the cups above but it wasn't that far over. Just appeared that way in the picture.

Ralph, you are definitely a man after my own heart! It's definite receiving the BobLoad certification. Wonder if this talent has anything to do with us being only 2 months in age difference. I think Bosch should hire you as a consultant to go 'round the country and demonstrate how to load for Bosch owners who say they can't get as much in as with their previous machines.

We recently figured out that a "Bobload" is not required to turn your dishwasher on! It takes no offense as to how many or how little dishes there are in the machine. We also discovered that if you pre-rinse your dishes in hot water, then only the shortest cycle is required.

I still love my Kitchen Aid KDS-17A but you can't get this kind of load in that machine! The dishes on top would never get clean.

David's dishwasher's timer

That timer dial, by itself looks very, very Maytaggy, like on the DWC4910AAW. With the buttons on your dw, David, you don't have to hold the door unlatched to turn past the Pots & Pans cycle to start the shorter cycles like with the Maytag. While the above referenced model Maytag I have washes very well, the racking and lack of a wash arm under the top rack greatly diminish its usable capacity when compared the loads of similar items I wash in my modified KDS-18s.

Chachp, now THAT looks like a dishwasher I would have loaded up! So satisfying when everything actually comes out clean after being crammed into a machine that way, but I can attest that my 16 year old KA can do a similar load and have everything come out spotless, including the stemware!

I think maybe I'm going to need to pull my camera out on Thanksgiving. We should see plenty of Bob Loads posted here starting 11/24, don't you think?

We aren't having Thanksgiving this year so there won't be any Bob loads at our house. As a matter of fact, we are going to my SO's Aunt's house and she doesn't even have a dishwasher believe it or not. I suspect we will be eating on plastic or paper of some sort.

rp2813 - What model Kitchen Aid do you have? Is it one with the multi level wash?

Chachp, you're Ralph too? This could get confusing . . .

My KA is more of a BOL model: KUDI220T. Almost thought I was going to have to tackle some repairs on it recently when the lower wash arm assembly wasn't turning freely. My own fault. I hadn't replaced the removable filter assembly below it just right so snapped it into place better and all is well again. In 16 years it has never needed a single repair.

I really do enjoy putting this machine through its paces.
Also felt validated over the weekend when I toured an open house (asking price $1.4M) and found what appeared to be my same model KA in that kitchen. Geez, for that kind of money you'd expect all new appliances, but this is Sillycon Valley and you find fixer-uppers going for that price. Nothing shocks me anymore when it comes to real estate around here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and wishing everyone who packs a Bob Load many happy returns to a sparkling finished job when you lower that door.

Ralph too!

Re: KUD1220T

rp2813's profile picture
Bob, I stand corrected. I've never seen another KA model with fewer buttons than mine and just assumed I had one that was nearer the BOL than TOL. It definitely LOOKS like it could be in a $1.4M home, but I think most KA's can pull off that substantial appearance.

Like I said above, after 16 years of service mine has not needed any repairs or provided any reason to replace it, and has made plenty of Bob loads sparkle over the years. It's a keeper and I apologize for insulting both you and the machine!

I was teasing with the insult thing, although I'll have to ask the dishwasher.

The custom would have rinse & hold and normal cycle and probably the energy save switch.

Trying for a Bob load !

ricky5050's profile picture
Hi Since getting my Bendix dishwasher I have been trying to do a Bob load photo. I had been away for 2 days with with work and forgot the dishwasher was 1/2 full , so after cooking a meal, managed to fill it with everything except the roasting tin ( these are not high quality and the dishwasher blasts off the non stick coating )

When I cook a meal even for 1 or 2 people I tend to use every spoon bowl etc so I would never be without a dishwasher.

Here the kitchen before loading , a mess !

ricky5050's profile picture
I still have not mastered loading this machine as well as my Mams 1990 AEG favorite 435 as that can be well packed , but here is the top rack.

And the bottom!

ricky5050's profile picture
The bottom is harder as the centre has to be kept clear to allow upward water to go in to the upper arm, and it should have 2 cuttlery baskets, also the prongs are further apart than more modern machines but you can wedge a tea plate in between two dinner plates in the centre section. There are lids and steamer bits under the white Kenwood mixer bowl! And 2 pans under the plastic steamer at back right.

The front

ricky5050's profile picture
Here is what it looks like from the outside , i still have not painted it yet, and on this occasion i used programe 3 at warm temperature, as although i did not pre rinse it was not dirty , ( we ate everything off the plates so no need to pre rinse !) Warm is 50 c i think and takes just a little longer than my bendix washer to do a warm wash when a 12min wash is selected. Both going together is music to my ears!

By the way no offence but who is Bob? can we see a picture , why does he like big loads? i am a fan of them in dishwashers and my Mam recons i would win awards if it were a national contest!

Bye

Richard
