Pete M Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 my parents have a 10 year old Electrolux dishwasher that's on the fritz. no paperwork (it came with the house). will only fill with water at the very very first click of the dial (rinse/delay) won't fill at any other setting. but it will think it's filled and starts to make all the other noises. will run fine if I manually fill with water. drains fine too. I'm ready to set fire to it. :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 looks like you guys are right. :thumbsup: I pulled out the switch then cleaned up the contacts as best I could and it seems to work again. :dunno: we're running a load of clean pots to verify it does a whole cycle.

Harley Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I only know about one dishwasher.......and that's the one I married :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepdoggydogB Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Wow! My wife cooks and I wash dishes and I did an admittedly terrible job. Her Mother bought us a Maytag dishwasher more than ten years ago, and even with me pre-washing the crystal still looked terrible. We wound up buying a Kitchenaid brand and she loves it. Washing dishes for me is a small price to pay for the $$ I spend on my Comanche. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm not a fan of dishwashers. I've had 3 (or at least lived in a place that had one), and I would constantly have to rewash stuff before using it anyway. I prefer to wash them by hand.

JeepcoMJ Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I rinse everything and wipe it down quick before tossing it in the dish washer. comes out clean every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 If you have to rinse or wash the dishes before putting it in the dishwasher, IMO the dishwasher is worthless. I need to figure out the brand we had in my last house. Even three day old caked on spaghetti sauce or oatmeal bowls came out sparkling clean.

Automan2164 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We have a Kenmore, and that thing rocks. Our old one was just that, old, and never did a good job. Never got clean, water spots for days, caked on scale... Angela would end up rewashing most of them. As Marcel said, this one will do the same thing... And if it didn't, it would be pointless.
