Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

I bought a portable in 1980 and installed it as a built-in. We still use that butcher block maple top on another cabinet that has been moved house to house. Someplace I still have the casters in a box. My dad has a KitchenAid that was purchased new by my grandmother in early to mid 80's. I

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

Welp, I got a KitchenAid KUDJ23, as I say about 20 years old, and I use SUN brand dishwasher powder from the dollar store. Today's load included a large chickenfat-laden broiler, a toaster oven chickenfat-laden broiler, a full complement of dinner dishes, a chili-laden bowl with the chili dried o

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

That reminds me of something else we had issues with on the Maytag - the nozzles on the spray arms would get clogged with food and I would have to take them apart and clean them out. Dan > On Apr 3, 2016, at 7:25 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Alright so I ran the glasses t

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

I have done all that, they are clean. I'm about sick of messing with this thing but sure hate to buy a new one after only a year. On 4/3/2016 6:49 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: That reminds me of something else we had issues with on the Maytag - the nozzles on the spray arms would get c

Re: [MBZ] This Weekend's Fun (long)

Today I began real work toward installing oak flooring in our living room. Spent a few hours driving around to hardware stores and a flooring store getting little odds and ends and some material. Packed up daughter's toys, moved couch and tables to side of the room with the piano and console-b

[MBZ] Raleigh Area MBZ Indy Recommendation

About 10 years ago, I solicited (and received) recommendations for a Raleigh area Indy to do work on my '82 300SD. That was just before I moved here in late 2005. After the move, remodeling the 1854 farm house took longer than planned and cost more (what a surprise!) and I went back to work (

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

Way ugly. Something ain't right, but what? The only thing that occurs to me is water isn't getting to the top rack. Probably not a factor in your case, but recent Consumer Reports says pre-rinsing dishes tricks the "dirty" sensor in the newer dishwashers into under-washing. > -Original Mess

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

We’ve had more problems with painters than any other trade. One painter told me (quite proudly, bragged actually) that he didn’t drink and he had a drivers’ license. I think he reckoned that put him at the top of the heap. From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of M

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

Well I just ran those again on the bottom rack and some of them came clean but those 2 did not, just got done scrubbing them by hand and put back on the washer to tonight's dinner load. I will probably be installing a Bosch tomorrow. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 3, 2016, at 7:54 PM, Scott Ritch

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

Kaleb, Just a random thought: does your machine have one of those spinning arms to spray the upper rack? Is it possible the water feed for that arm isn't sealing with the top rack pushed in? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.ok

Re: [MBZ] OT dishwashers

Yes it does and I have thought of that but when I open the door while it's running the thing is spinning. I have checked all the connections where it slides in the back with the rack pushed in and all appears good Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 3, 2016, at 8:06 PM, Scott Ritchey via Mercedes >
