Yeah; I'm the one who spent 3 years working in a Ding & Dent Appliance Shop, and the one they sent to Whirlpool Tech School to (among other things) learn how to properly stack a dishwasher FROM THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE EFFING THINGS... and still my wife & kids argue with me when I tell them for like the 1000th time "Please don't (insert dumb dishwasher mistake here)"...

Yes, and I dunno... and when I tell you why they taught me that in the factory training seminars, you're going to
just as hard as I did.
It was so Dumbfuckistani consumers (otherwise known as Texas locals) could be shown by a FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIAN how to load a dishwasher. The logic was (I don't want to KNOW how many jizzilions of dollars they spent figuring this out; a helluva lot more than they paid me) that if they were shown how to do it right by a factory trained technician, who then warned them that the next service call for the same problem would cost them actual money, they might actually listen. No fucking kidding.
The "consumer education" we were taught concentrated primarily on arranging the dishes laterally allowing a gap up the center so that all dishes face the center and to to keep from blocking the telescoping jet in the center that feeds the top rack rotor, and to not load big flat things like baking sheets and broiler pans so they're right against the front door. The former causes top-rack to not get clean, the latter often actually causes some of the silverware to get food baked on WORSE, because they never get wet but the heat from the drying cycle does convect up right through the silverware basket in the door.
Good job med You just convinced me to not touch anything with a tube
That TOTALLY made me snortle IRL.
Also probably wise advice, that NO-ONE in here will follow...
I'll call that Karma. I still have the occasional disturbing flashback to a certain fan...
Twist a little harder, Brumby. He's not crying yet.
eBay auction: #323831860749 DE-5000 with both fixtures for $36? Free shipping from the United States? Seller located in China. Scam? Hijacked truck? Has somebody ripped off the DE-5000 design?
The TL-21 fixture alone costs $22. The cheapest I've seen the meter without either fixture is about $80. The full setup usually goes for $115 or so.
Hmmmm... Seller's account is current, numerous positive feedback sales over the last few months, but almost exclusively Chinese-import model hobbyist kits and parts. Maybe hacked account, as this and a couple dozen other not-hobby-related products went up on the account a few days ago.
*Clicks [BUY IT NOW] just for shits & giggles* eBay didn't try to make me do funny shit with my PayPal funding like some of these China-Derpy-Direct merchants do; we'll see what shows up. Worst case scenario, you just bought me a box full of poop, buddy.
