Mine has a window and a light, but the light won’t turn on until the dishes are done so you can effectively see nothing in there. The conspiracy continues!
This may not work, but have you tried shining an external light through the (mechanical) dishwasher window, while the process in going on? Potentially while turning down lights in the room.
I don’t have a dishwasher and I don’t have time to watch this video about dishwashers right now, but I am really curious, why is the powder better than gel?
Dishwashers do a pre-wash to get most of the big stuff off, then a main wash to finish up. If you use the capsule-things, there’s only soap for the main wash.
If your dishwasher has two compartments, then put detergent in both as one is for the pre-wash and one for the main wash.
If it doesn’t have two compartments, then just put some detergent loose with the dishes for the pre-wash.
Gel is basically powder with water mixed in, therefore you are basically buying water for them to premix your detergent with at the factory. You end up paying more for a container of detergent that doesn’t last as long, is heavier, and is more expensive. Powder forever!
me too, but I was disappointed it didn’t really make much difference. Though I did figure out recently I might have just been under-dosing. Really hard to tell on my dishwasher as it provides no instructions on quantities, and the fill lines don’t make and sense because while it has the 2 receptacles for the pre-wash and wash settings, they’re tiny shallow dimples that both reside in the same larger cavity for power but have no dividing wall between them. So if you fill the wash section up to the minimum (which is a surprisingly large amount), it necessarily spills over in to the prewash section. It also has no recommendations for differing levels, despite having minimum and max fill lines, so I don’t know when I would fill to one or the other and then to top it all off, no mention of the concept of filling anything at all in to the pre-wash section, despite having some kind of pre-wash settings and a dedicated spot in to which you’d pour the powder for pre-wash. It also makes no sense for that pre-wash section to be there, because in the video and on older dishwashers, the wash and pre-wash recepticals have their own doors that flip open at different times, hence pre-wash, but on mine, both of the little indentations in to which you could pour powder are in the same cavity with the same door. It’s weird, they clearly didn’t expect anyone in this day and age would still use powder even if it’s theoretically better. I’ve been making up a quantity to put in to the pre-wash, assuming it helps but really no idea.
There’s a Technology Connections video where he cuts a hole in a dishwasher to install a plexiglass sheet. It leaked like hell, but you do get to see inside while it’s running.
Hell I saw fridges with Android screens and I’m like hell naw. I did get a smart one so I can get notifications if the kid leaves the door open and so I can track power consumption over time without sticking a kill-a-watt in a really tough spot. But the Android systems they put in fridges feel obsolete on the showroom floor. Absolutely embarrassing, and probably completely useless after about 4 or 5 years when Android stops supporting the SoC and when you stop getting root certificate updates and start getting SSL errors on every page and app.
