Who's to say that Sensei doesn't dry a few clothes in the dishwasher. That top rack is wonderful for holding and airing out a load of socks. Then again, a fallen sock and a bit of lint on the heating element can make for a spectacular dishwasher fire. Recall definitely in order.
ps Now if he puts his dishes in the dryer, we'd better check on him.

Appliantology is, however appliances are not, an exact science for I know there are a few refrigerators that actually hate me.
The simplest explanation is most likely the correct and least expensive one, unless it's your compressor or motherboard" Occam as an appliantologist
"When you have eliminated all the impossible, whatever remains, however implausible, must be the logic truth; unless it's your compressor or motherboard." Mr. Spock as an appliantologist
"I think, therefore I have no earthly idea why this thing is not working...I got nothin'...". Rumored to have been uttered by a frustrated Descartes while diagnosing his GE Profile.

The Samurai, being all into personal liberty, is never one to judge how people use their appliances, least of all our esteemed Sensei!

Those appliances are going to run afoul of the Media Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission.
Filming such acts of "copulation" violate "decency" rules.
I'm sure that the DOE wants to get involved as well---mandating that appliance "children" to be genetically altered for compliance with FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
Mirroring the Nuremberg Laws of 1935---"non-tiered" appliances are verbotten from having "offspring" with "tiered" appliances.
Such blatant and overt discrimination is par-for-the-course at the DOE.

To eliminate:
Musty odor
L-O-N-G cycle times
Dingy/yellowing whites
Suds error message
Slow spin speeds
Intermittent water leaks (from rear of washer)
And other annoying symptoms which vary brand-to brand.
Read below:
The *correct* amount of HE (High Efficiency) detergent that should be used in any front load or agitatorless top load washer with tub sizes 3.0 cu ft and larger is as follows:
HE: (2) Tablespoons Per Wash Load
HE 2X: (1) Tablespoon
HE 3X: (1) Teaspoon
Perform a TUB CLEAN CYCLE every (4) months.
Use: "Tide Washing Machine Cleaner"

Are these the Viking dishwashers made by Asko or are they Viking's own dishwashers?
