Mine sticks in cooking pots that are too tall for the bottom rack and block the fan-thingy from rotating, so it doesn’t wash properly.CanNZ2000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:55 pm My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way.

Thankfully mine doesn't do that. She never turns it on though, that is always my job - after I reorganize it. At least she empties it though.Jim Lahey wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:01 pmMine sticks in cooking pots that are too tall for the bottom rack and block the fan-thingy from rotating, so it doesn’t wash properly.CanNZ2000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:55 pm My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way.

Every. F**king. Time.
Just wash them in the sink. Or leave it for me FFS.
I was just flabbergasted!

I feel your pain, CanNZ! i have the exact same issue. Dumps the cutlery in the (very top) cutlery shelf, in a big messy pile, meaning items often stick down impeding the top rotator, and so water can't get to a lot of it. Points the important parts of the bowls, dishes, etc away from the center so they don't get a good spray... sigh. She has clearly not read my detailed 75 page manual on how to do this!Good point, have the same issue here if she turns it on before I have had a chance to review her organizing. At least she has never turned it on without putting the soap pod in first. Thank god for small miracles.Morgan14 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:34 pmCanNZ2000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:55 pm My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way.

Yes. But you raise good point. She only empties if I haven't gotten around to it. It's much more likely to be me.
I was in a supermarket today and some bloke took his mask off to sneeze and then put it back on.CM11 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:20 pmI was just flabbergasted!

It's getting worse on my end, now I have noticed the misses keeps putting the forks, knives and spoons in upside down! WTH? The way she puts them in they will never get any water.mdaclarke wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:36 pmI had never thought of this!

This is my life. The only thing my wife does wrong with the dishwasher is putting in some cups the wrong way round and they fill with scuzzy water.HighKingLeinster wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:02 pm my wife is the opposite. she is a nazi for fitting in things in an orderly fashion. my issue is she will load the dishwasher with Tetrus level precision but then never ever turns the fúcking thing on.
also has never refilled the rinse aid or salt

In a male soprano voice ?
Yah, your wife told me that story last weekend when you were out of town for work...... i think she mentioned it late at night.. or maybe she told me early in the morning... I can' t remember.. We consumed a bit to much prosecco...
I would suggest giving her a map of how to load it, but could she read that?CanNZ2000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:55 pm My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way.

After the wife failed miserably and I got stuck with it, I knew I had to change tactics and approach from a different angle so I trained the daughters to do it. They'll make very fine wife's for some lucky fokors one day.
My wife is terrible with directions and doesn't a 'mind map' but I am thinking of sending her here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3535854.stmJB1981 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:09 amI would suggest giving her a map of how to load it, but could she read that?CanNZ2000 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 3:55 pm My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way.

Sooooo, this repair guy that keeps having to come back...this isn't about the dishwasher anymore is it ?HighKingLeinster wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 4:47 pm We had to get our dishwasher repaired a few months ago as it had become blocked. The guy said to make sure to scrape off food etc before loading into the dishwasher to avoid it happening again. The next f**king day i find herself has loaded 2 pots that must have had 50% of whatever was cooked in them stuck to their sides. And she then gets pissy when i remind her what the repair guy literally told her less than 24 hours before
