Actually Ramon, it's better to load all items facing the center of the bottom rack. This results in better cleaning.

Cleaning the front of a plate, of course, is more important than cleaning the back. The center spray arm of most Whirlpool dishwashers sprays in both directions. Because the backside of a plate is usually less dirty, the downward spray of the center arm should be adequate for cleaning the backside of most plates, including those loaded at the edges of the bottom rack.

@soap1919jt With a name like yours, I yield to your judgment.  That was my first Video. My point is pay attention and learn.....I shall practice what I preach.

Great advice but disorganized. Maybe you want to outline your do's an then your don'ts. Tell what is really relevant without subjective thoughts. This is about instructing and teaching not just expressing. Nice advice, nice contents.

@manny3549 That was my first video. Sound bad too. look at newer ones like "how to repair Moen " or ten best things, etc. Thanks for watching, look at dates posted.

We ordered a portable Kenmore from Sears yesterday because we can't modify the kitchen to install a built-in for multiple reasons. We shopped online and discovered there are only 4 brands of 24" models manufactured: Kenmore, GE, Maytag & Whirlpool. We learned Maytag & WHIRLPOOL is the same company. GE was cheapest but had ugly reviews so we got a Kenmore. There is 2 Kenmore, 2 GE, 1 Whirlpool and 1 Maytag (24" portables.) Its a base model but we know any Kenmore is quality and satisfactory.

Kenmore whirlpool, Maytag are all the same maker anyway. The difference is the model and what specs. it is made to bu any of the marketed names. The issue I would focus on is the water hook up.  The spout of most faucets wont handle the constant pressure. A cast spout faucet is best. Am std. makes one. Consumers Reports rules on reviews for Dish Washers.

A very professional dishwasher expert indeed! My wife & I are new to dishwashers, just bought one. Tend to load dishes in wrong direction. Your down-to-earth advice makes a hell lot of sense. Always look at & think of spray direction. God-sent indeed! Thank you Ramon!

@ramonasplumber I have 1-2 calls per month for changing DW. There's a 110 volts connection and water supply and a exaust hose and 2 brackets to screw to the counter. And no comment about gays or gay couples!.LOL Have a nice day.

@surfexp 1st. How many people have a new Dishwasher?

2nd. what connections need to be tight?

3rd. Men and Women need to know how to load a DW, what about Gay couples? they too need advice, and I don't mean "Get a Woman"
