Were the machines with the lint filter as splashy as those without one? Was the lint filter fed from underneath like a Norge Burp-O-Lator? |

Thank you, Glenn. Sounds like where GE got their idea for the passive filtration in their dishwashers. |

That was granny’s model. There was a flat chrome disc with hooks that locked into the key slots on top of the agitator cap. It didn’t have any obvious function except maybe to divert a water jet I thought should be pumping up through the agitator into the filter … but there is/was no fountain so maybe the chrome disc was just decorative? |
