Just been told off by the dishwasher monitor!

Callistemon21 - I think she meant she was living in a rented property using her own furniture.

Oh, I see.

Ah well, that's different.
Although if I knew an inspection was due I'd probably flick around with a feather duster. Nothing too strenuous.

I don’t even know how to turn ours on 😁 Mr K reckons he’s an expert so suits me fine. Just wish he could cook 😉

It seems that I am no longer to be trusted, especially with putting in bowls which have been used to heat baked beans in the microwave.......

I'm not keen to be told. I'd flounce silently, the dim monitor would be in the kitchen alone -- doing the dishes.

Our dishwasher ordered us last night to turn off the water supply to it. We've never seen this error message before!

Just as you repair one appliance the next one breaks down.....!

Have you checked the salt as our Siemens won’t operate if it gets low?We use all in one tablets but it requires the salt to work. Dh had to go through the instruction book to find this out. I was set to get a new one.

No arguments here, I do all the washing up and dishwasher stacking. My husband does all the cooking. Suits us perfectly.

Ive never owned a dishwasher (not really worth it for a single person) but anyone who "told me off" in my own home would be out the door pretty quickly.

Some years ago when I was renting a snippy estate agent (who called herself an office manager) told me the furniture could do with a dust. I told her "Its my bl***y furniture so mind your own bl***y business" and ordered her out.

I dont take orders from some little typist with a couple of GCSEs.

If you want to rent a property out, the least you could do is get a cleaner in first, surely?

^My daughter's new dishwasher has a cuttlery drawer^
And the cutlery has to be in the right order!
I'm not being ultra-fussy, it just makes it easier to unload.

Yes mine has the cutlery tray at the top too andDH will put the cutlery in all mixed up. I mean knives amongst the spoons, what's that about? It's because he just plonks whatever he's holding in the next available slot. Given that he empties it far more than me I shouldn't be bothered but I do rearrange as far as possible to group like items together.

I don't take orders from anyone, whatever and how many qualifications they have.
(Unless it's my bosses, who pay my wages)

My girl used to unload her sink if I was washing up for her.

The dishes had to be stacked in a certain way as they waited to be washed.

...when I look after the GCs at my DSs I can empty but never load his dishwasher. Even the GCs know it has strict rules and we don't understand them!!

Same here at my daughter's.
I'm happy to unload the dishwasher, and my granddaughter tells me which cupboard everything goes in.
Loading I leave to them as they'd only have to rearrange it all afterwards, so it's not actually that helpful if I try and do it!

No! No dishwasher monitor in our house.
No need ...... No dishwasher!!

I used to secretly rearrange after DH had done the loading, as he tried to cram too much in and things did not always come out clean. Now I can please myself.

My daughter's new dishwasher has a cuttlery drawer. Her old one had the ability to lift the top shelf to three different heights (so you could fit her enormous dinner plates in).

My mother-in-law insists on putting her cuttlery basket in the ^wrong^ place!!!
🤬 grrr!
I have to take a deep breath every time!

I have to be my own dishwasher monitor but I do have the benefit of a puppy pre-wash programme.

Other people look very confused if they try to help by loading the dishwasher.

I get told off by my children for putting knives in with blades upwards. I started this after 2 cutlery baskets got damaged by having sharp objects dropped into them. Apparently I am risking death by stumbling and impaling myself on a knife

At the risk of sounding dramatic eddiecat, your children are right. There really has been serious injury and death through people falling on knives in the dishwasher. The collective wisdom these days is to always put them in blade down.

It’ll be the barbecue next!
Brings out the caveman/hunter/gatherer in some men!

Oh yes!

"Let's have a barbecue, so you don't have to cook" 😁
So who is in the kitchen making all the accompaniments? Moi!

I'm the dishwasher monitor in this house too 😁

This is such a relatable thread. I’ve given up and am with visgirl.

He always does the bins though and appears to have has his very own recycling plant in the garage so I'll try to be grateful for that!
That made me smile recklessgran as the same happens here.

We both load the dishwasher - and both rearrange after the other at times. 😂

Yes, we do that too but I’m leaving my H to unload it now since knocking my shin on the corner of the open door and developing an infected haematoma and cellulitis. Two months later and I’m still not completely healed.

Well and here I am thinking that my lack of dishwasher craft was a problem that I had never realised I had until dh retired. All those years and I never realised that I and my instruction book had got it wrong.
