So after an evening's hearty dinner, I wanted to give the dishwasher a real workout...not just another load of a full top-rack and a fork and a saucer in the bottom. But it's not always easy to find the kind of things that make a vertical-loading bottom rack dishwasher really fly with a full load. This evening proved different. The top rack (note the Jet-Dry dispenser hanging out for all to see...wish I had the timed rinse dispenser...*sigh*):

The bottom rack...
Here is the piece de resistance. How often does a collection like this of flat things come together? Five extra points were gained for this round by sneaking the wire rack next to the silverware basket. Note the cutting board in the middle. With no pesky wash arm under the top rack to steal space or do useless things like offer good wash performance, we are able to take freeform loading to new heights.

Only one marginal result
I did have one tallish glass tumbler come out with a rice yiblet stuck in it, but since those tumblers have been a problem in every machine I've had, the judges decided to overlook it. What's more impressive is that I didn't do any intensive prerinsing or scraping, and the rice was gone. No filtration whatsoever! :-) (Just lots of water changes! :-D) | ||

OH...... Put your photo's on here of your Control Board and such. I bet there are so many that have not seen it. It looks great. Brent | ||

Thanks!!
Steve-- *wink* :-D Brent-- Thanks!! You're absolutely right, they really do clean (and sound good and gutsy doing it), but I know what you mean about the "moments." The other day I came back to a flooded kitchen floor, because the bottom wash arm had gotten stuck, and sprayed full-force against the door seal. The wash arm won. A flat washer inserted between the wash arm and the threaded shaft on which it rides solved the issue, but I tend not to start the dishwasher and run off these days... :-) | ||

Super cool washer - let's see a picture of the inside! hee hee I'm amazed at that load in your Tragic Chef dishwasher - you're right though, rarely do those loads come together so well. If you have the meal catered - for 16, you may have enough plates & platters to fill the bottom rack. Or do like I seem to keep doing, buy a whole set of dishes - again and again...

Oh, Greg!
Goodness! That Roto-Rack never gets old--I love seeing it and your fantastic dishes every time you post that :-P. That wash-load is far more exciting than what would have been in the "how to load" part of the manual! :-D Yes, you're absolutely right--until I have dinner for sixteen, the plates just won't come together. What's worse is that I just bought a bunch more glassware, so imagine what the top rack looks like now--it's almost manual-picture-perfect :-) It is lots of fun, though. I've been contemplating snagging one of the three-level machines (SS bottom arm, SS middle arm, small white plastic constant-rinse on the top) and "rebadging" it with the panels and controls from this machine, since it's so snazzy :-) Then I could have the best of both worlds... (Heresy, I know...) | ||

There actually *was* a working 1960 Frigidaire spin-tube in stainless on eBay for a decent price. It stayed there for the longest time, until (I believe) someone on here finally bought it! | ||

*sob*!
Hi Austin, Thanks so much!! :-D Yes, the Magic Chef is lots of fun, but if you are D&M hunting, I recommend finding one with the multilevel wash action (spray tower is good; the double SS wash arms and constant rinse is even better!). You'll love the performance that much more. Now, of course, if that means finding a Roto-Rack... ;-) It's true. I love the sounds of this dishwasher as much as anything else about it; my grandmother's 1983 D&M portable sounded the same (it had the triple-level wash action and gaggles of pushbuttons, though). I remember that SS spin-tube. I'm glad someone got it--that was too stunning! *sigh* :-) | ||
