We’ve seen what the inside of an older dishwasher looks like, but what about the newer, high efficiency dishwashers that have propeller arms? Us folks over at ApplianceVideo.com wanted to see what actually goes down and take an inside look, after all, why not? Take a look for yourself in the video below.
The setup involves one GoPro filming inside of a HE dishwasher with two regular cameras on the outside. The sped up video gives you the best viewpoints during an entire cycle lasting twenty minutes shy of two hours.
The door was replaced with a plastic covering so the two cameras filmed outside the clear door. By the way, why aren’t manufacturers making dishwashers with clear doors? Just like clear computer cases show off the motherboards, I want clear everything—show off the dishwasher! It’s entertainment for hours, kids and adults alike. Okay, back to business.
The high efficiency dishwasher is a Jenn-Air model, reusing five gallons of water the entire wash cycle, and no detergent was used in our case for the project.
To begin things off, water comes in through the sides of the dishwasher and into the basin. Since high efficiency dishwashers reuse and recirculate water to clean dishes, filling up the basin is required to pump water to the top arm. Shortly after, the top propeller begins turning while water sprays in upper and lower directions from it. Then, the top propeller arm stops, and the lower arm turns, shooting water upwardly.
Finally, the lower propeller stops, the water is drained, and you my friend, have clean dishes waiting to be put away.
Throughout the video, you get some good ole history about who invented the dishwasher and the water-saving benefits of a HE unit. With the tranquil music going on, it’s sure a hypnotizing thing to watch.
