My wife only said “Don’t you dare”. And now i’m confused. The words imply a dare, her tone sounded like a threat
Knowing how “fun” it is to make a truly watertight window, even with low pressure, matching both cold and hot and detergent and whatever’s flying in there, I’m glad there isn’t a glass pane to view into the dishwasher.
Also, I’m usually doing things that are not reliant on seeing what’s happening in a dishwasher when it is running, so the cost effectiveness would not be great there.
How is it different from a window in a washing machines, because those are quite common.
I’m not sure… as my current washing machine don’t have one. It’s a top-loader. I do see washing machines with a round door, though. Maybe the difference is that the whole door is the glass part, so there’s no seal to make with the rest of the “door” part, but that’s not satisfying.
I’d be curious to ear from an expert about this.
Duh. If they let you see how it’s done, then you’ll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won’t need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.
just buy plastic cutlery and throw it away after each use
Hack the system
I have a countertop dishwasher that has a giant window in the front. Wanna know what’s in there?
Bubble bath shower for the dishes. It looks fun.

You don’t want to see it.
For the purposes of saving water, your dishes are repeatedly washed in dirty greasy brown water before rinsing. This does not look good, but in fact it is alright.
Not true. They are hiding the fact that there’s a group of tiny gnomes forced to work the dishes. No one wants to see tiny slaves in their kitchen. They are pathetic and do not fit the rest of the kitchen ambiance.
They’re just in there licking all the food off the dishes after getting drunk on the “rinsing agent”.
If you forget to fill their booze, they just piss all over your dishes, that’s where the spots come from.
Immigrants taking my good old American Jack Russell Terrier’s job. They took her jerb!
Even worse! They’re all nude!
They have big dicks though
In proportion to their bodies, yes?
And they glow in the dark!
But they eat the boogers out of each other’s noses. Which happen to be glow in the dark as well.
There are good reasons to hide what’s going on inside. Some are simply not prepared: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIKJ6n-vSKt/
I remember a while back discovering GE made a clear door that could be used for diagnostic purposes on some dishwashers they had built. Never got to try one out, just thought it was cool they made em.
Why tho’? Apart from curiosity, what do you need to see? How will you utilize the information?
In an oven you can check on the food, and to a certain extent in the MW.
Front load washing machines let you see, but it’s a tease because they lock the door.
It’s so that you can pontificate on that tissue you left in your pocket as it dissolves into little bits of paper snot and gets stuck on everything
The technology connections guy has a video where he puts a window in one to show how it works
And it started leaking.
And it looks like sudsy vomit recirculating over your dishes. Ain’t nobody wanna see that.
Except Alec apparently
And everyone who clicked on the video.
Some of us more than twice!
Wanna go a fourth time?
Hun I’ve told you there’s a refractory period. Give me 5 minutes before we go again 👍
Fine.

There’s also just no point. What exactly would one hope to accomplish in having a window in their dishwasher? With a microwave, you can monitor food and make sure it’s not boiling over, smoking, exploding, etc. With an oven, you can monitor goods to see if they’re done or not. But a dishwasher? Unlike a cooking device, there’s no harm in leaving dishes in the dishwasher too long. You don’t need to pull them out at just the exact moment they’re fully clean.
Unless you’re one of those weirdos that cooks things in their dishwasher, I can’t see any reason why you would need a window in one.
Okay, but why then is there a window in my washing machine?
Usually only on front-loading models so you can see if there’s water in it before trying to open the door.
Which is what most of the world uses. And it’s also kinda nice to look at, which isn’t the case for dishwashers.
They’re attractive, but they also have a much bigger problem with gaskets getting moldy, and I personally think getting clothes in and out of a top-loading is more convenient unless they’re stacked.
Because people like watching the spinny go spin.
To see the mold growing in the side loader machine’s silicon gasket that never dries out of course!
Also because that’s what the house came with and it didn’t break yet.
I kill it with vinegar filled wash cycles now and then but it’s annoying and recurrent. Top loader with dumb knobs and a metal lid next if they die before me.
Leave the door cracked after washing until it dries out.
You can get anti fungal liquid that you add to one of the secondary dispensers which should keep that at bay while also keeping mould off your clothes, and also you can leave the door open between cycles to dry it out. I’ve been told it’s important to leave the door open when it’s not in use.
Good advice for everyone.
I leave the door open yep, clean the drain trap too.
I should try anti fungal instead, we’ll see if it does better than vinegar. The cheap bulk white vinegar does work, I just have to do that twice a month and remember to wipe down the gasket frequently.
my mom’ll never get a side-loaded washer for that exact reason. Clothes also may get a musty smell even when cleaned in one. We’ve got sensitive noses so it’d be unbearable for us
I can see myself meeting that guy in a bar and both of us complaining about shit for hours and hours
I love the right kind of complainer friends
Now I want an ancient greek drama about dishwasher detergent.
Don’t kink shame.
Hold my beer.
Minutefoods does a video with the camera inside the dishwasher, also pretty cool
And my Amazon order for pre-wash detergent tells me it was already 4 years ago, OMG. It took 4 years to go through that bottle, we’re a family of 4.
It’s to keep people from seeing the reality of recycled dishwater being sprayed at the plates you eat off of.
It’s because they are usually insulated and there is no point putting a clear surface over insulation.
My oven is super insulated, yet it still has a window
What kind of insulation is behind the window?
None, which is his whole point. If the oven can manage to hold heat the dishwasher can aswel
Insulation on the dishwasher is mostly for noise and stopping moisture or heat from damaging surrounding cabinets.
The dishwasher is using new water or heating water. It is not designed to keep the same water hot for an hour plus.
The whole back of the dishwasher is a tiny piece of plastic. Not insulated at all. Some fancy ones now put a little insulation on back.
But the idea isn’t to keep heat trapped to wash dishes, but to keep heat from being released and damaging things.
I haven’t seen anything that says how hot it gets in the window . Just that it’s “super insulated”.
I’m not an engineer, I don’t know how it works. I can touch the transparent window without getting burned, so it appears the window is insulated.
Maybe it works like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing
It’s just an air gap in the window. It’s double pane just like good windows for your house.
They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.
You don’t replace your dish gnome cartridge every 3 years? I was told it was a feature. They get tired.
First, you have to remove the dead gnomes. Straight to the compost heap, not in the regular garbage! Cause nature and stuff …
Your gnomes shouldn’t be dead, they’re technically immortal and a stint in the dishwasher is their ticket out of the salt mines. If you’ve got dead gnomes the last thing you want is to keep their bodies on the premises. If you leave them in the cartridge they can be revived when you exchange it for the new cartridge. If you put them in the ground they will find… other ways back to their realm, and they will remember what you did.
And please remember to buy gnomane dishwashing tablets, I cannot stress enough how much they should not be dead.
Also don’t ask me why the gnome salt mine slavery exists, I didn’t create it, I just benefit from it.
I’ll guess then that they’ll prefer the salt mines above me. Those little bastards, playing for dead! I will shave all their beards!
Your funeral, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
They better don’t disobey their lord and master, or I’ll pee over the shoebox that is their home again.
Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn’t. That’s like day 1 of dishwasher school.
I hate when the dishwasher says it’s low on cyan gnomes, but I can see them right there
This is praxis
Table top dishwashers usually have a window. My kid considered it a major disadvantage when we got a real dishwasher that the window was missing.
Your kid spoke the truth
this Capitalization is Giving me a Fucking stroke
Your comment made me reread the post and it seems intentional to stress those words
Per internet rules, capitalization can only be used for emphasis LIKE THIS. Doing it any other way is just bad grammar and, as a result, confusing.
If those capitalized words were in all caps, it wouldn’t read the same way. I agree it’s confusing at first, though.
But why the bizarre spacing on the commas…
Long pauses I would guess
I’ve got it! It’s Shatner’s alt account!
I see the vision but that’s not how you type on the internet.
It looks weird but admittedly, once deciphered, it’s a pretty good way of making you read it in a very specific way.
Yeah, but there are unwritten rules of how most people do it. Whole caps or asterisks for emphasis, ellipsis, hyphen or tilde for pause - things like that.
It’s the fact that it doesn’t spell out a word which gave me one
What do you mean, it clearly spells out “wadnnrs.” If you know, you know
Technology connections put a window in one, it’s just nasty water swirling around and a lot of people would be grossed out by that so they hide it lol
I also don’t want to be looking at the dirty dishes throughout the week as I’m waiting for the machine to be full enough to run.
