I was gifted a used countertop dishwasher and the manual i found on the internet is not helpful. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. I found it very helpful!!!😊

Thank you sir for taking the time to give full instructions It was a great help.

[@snake08081991]

Could you please describe the adapter or piece that you used and the one that you bought separately?

[@peggyl7565]

As far as the heating I'm sure yours is just like my magic chef. They use residual heating. Dishes are dried using heat that has formed during the wash cycle. Residual heat drying is one of the best and most hygienic ways to dry dishes, because it avoids using air from outside the dishwasher. At the 20 minute Mark mine went quiet too so I think it was the Residual heating cycle.

[@TigerWild1]

Something wrong with your volume keeps going in and out when you move outside of the camera view. So I didn't hear what you said why you bought it that the website specifically said, then the volume went down and rustling around noise, then nothing. What did the website specifically say?

I have a smaller Farberware portable countertop dishwasher that fills by pouring water into a hole on the top or can be filled by sink attachment. I can load easily a sinkfull of dishes including at least 3 dinner plates , 3 salad plates, 3 bowls , 3-4 drinking cups/coffee mugs and several utensils and a plastic container or two. It can be filled manually at the top and drains into a bucket on the floor so it is completely portable to be used just about anywhere. The units regular cycle is slightly over 2 hours and it has other cycles for glasses only and a fruit wash cycle. It also has a quick cycle that is 45 minutes. The quick cycle is the only cycle I have ever used and dishes come out extremely sparkling clean and smell fresh every time. It uses any dishwasher detergent and only a small amount is needed. The water temp is equal to the standard high temp on a fullsize dishwasher. I have mine on a cart in my kitchen away from sink and counter so it does not use up any much needed space in my small kitchen. I use half a pod tab by just cutting it in half as I foumd by trial and error that a half tab is all thats needed for clean dishes. The only thing I do is scrape off any food chunks to load dishes, fill with water, add the half tab and press quick wash and the machine does all the rest. It does not dry dishes but does do a short air cycle that is not heated to avoid any spotty dishes. The unit has a light inside so at the beginning you can easily see it work and it is very quiet when operated. The Farberware I have cost over $300 a few years ago whe. I bought it but I caught a deal on Facebook Marketplaces for only $100 new in a sealed box. I would recomend a countertop dishwasher to anyone who prefers to use a dishwasher and who does not have the ability to have a fullsize one. Farberware is an excellent brand and the one I have has retained most of its originnal value throughout the years because of the quality. My small dishwasher is perfect for our 2 people household for cleaning dishes. (Pots and pans are too big so those are washed by hand) and the convenience is perfect for us. The think I like most is that dishes always are very sparkling clean with no spots or food left over and it help me keep my keep my kitchen clean by washing dishes with ease of use. Buy you one if you are in need of an excellent dishwasher.

[@neofirex4774]

The adapter fits perfectly on to my faucet & runs well. My problem is when I attach the socket. The water pours out around the faucet. Has anyone ran into this problem? If so were you able to resolve it?

[@NotsoEP]

Did you put the little rubber gasket in there?

[@emilym8525]

Thanks, I was wondering if this would work in my apartment and how I would set one up, this helped 👍

[@NotsoEP]

Glad I could help!

[@elvictorio13]

Thanks, your video was more helpful than the manual!

[@Yashbeatss]

I get an E4 error and water doesn’t drain. Any help on how to fix this problem?

[@EricMeeks101]

me too did you find a solution?

[@aaronhicks5620]

Would I be able to use this portable dishwasher as well as a regular dishwasher at the same time through the same sink?

[@NotsoEP]

I am not a plumber. But i would imagine why not. The only issue I see is if they both discharge at the same time, the sink might back up since the regular washer usually connects directly to the drain under sink (or disposal) and the countertop connects to faucet so discharges into the sink

[@SheikhFaisal-d2b]

How does the drain work. ? I only see 2 pipes connected to water inlet tap.

[@NotsoEP]

1 is the inlet the other is the drain. It comes out the faucet tap piece.

[@roshenaambers7269]

I'm able to power it on but the question is why is it stuck in P2 and does nothing I need help

[@NotsoEP]

Umm, p2 is the program selected to run. 20:36 in my video shows that.

[@beckybetz6333]

There is a sticker on the dishwasher that states to ‘pull a rubber plug of the drain pip before the pipe is connected.’ I cannot find any rubber plug. Where should I be looking?

[@NotsoEP]

I have no idea. I do not work for farberware and has been ~year since I put mine in.

[@beckybetz6333]

Worth a shot! Thanks anyway!! 😆

[@faljayy4643]

Absolutely crazy question, but can this be hooked up to the bathroom sink? I have a bathroom practically in the kitchen and plan to place this on a cart because my sink only has one of those pull shower style faucets.

[@NotsoEP]

Just check the fitting. Not sure the size since this was a long time ago but as long as the faucet adapter fits, then why not? it just needs a water source.

[@carlygerarden5221]

Did u keep the black rings in when you connected the hoses?

[@NotsoEP]

If they are what I think they are then yes. they would be the washers

[@seanowensullivan]

What is the size of the end of the hose that attaches to the faucet? Male? Female?

[@NotsoEP]

Google is your friend. Sorry, I do not work for Farberware and would have to look it up myself.

[@griseldagarza4113]

I have one month with my countertop dishwasher Farberware model FCD06ABBWHA and I get an E4 error and the water doesn't drain. I had to empty by hand all the water stuck in the base. I think it could be the drain pump. I need help. Please!!!!!

Hi Christopher! Could you let us know where you got the female/female adapter that goes from your faucet end and onto the connector that Farberware provided? I have exhausted all of the hardware stores, they look at me like I'm asking a riddle for the ages, lol. Thanks in advance!

[@NotsoEP]

Not sure what you are talking about, the female to male? for the faucet? Mine was included in the box I believe. at 12:15 I show it was included.

[@thudweber3253]

Ah...I was thinking of the female to female coupling that you used to attach the faucet to the adapter that came with the dishwasher.

[@thudweber3253]

You show it at 13:21 :)

[@NotsoEP]

@@thudweber3253 The adapter has a screw end that did fit into my faucet to make a male end for the hose to connect to. I did not have to go buy one.

Okie dokie. Thank you so much for making the video :)

[@WaltSnider]

Thank you for making this video. You may want to consider a lavalier mic. It'll help when you're facing away from the camera.

[@spongegirl7166]

Does a lot of water spray by the faucet while it drains and if I put mine on a cart how long is the power cord

[@NotsoEP]

No, it is more or less just focused down of course but I do not see my counters getting wet with splash so it seems fine to me. It is not a powerful spray. Cord length I do not know, mine is on the counter by an outlet and I don't feel like moving it to measure it.

[@meetyounever6923]

I got this but my apartment is evil and they've put a rotating plastic sprayer that i can't remove. Anyone know how I can fill it without hooking it up to the sink?

[@Jackie371]

Maybe it would be possible to get a connector for the bathroom sink?

[@starwenexpress]

Hey did you only use cold water or did you use both hot and cold?

[@NotsoEP]

Just hot, it won't start until the water heats up . It has a heater element inside, but using hot water shortens the time to get it washing.

[@starwenexpress]

@@NotsoEP well I decided to use cold water and it still took the 2hrs to clean the dishes on P2 option. My hose itself leaks from the faucet of the sink. It's like the water pressure is too powerful for the hose so a little water trickles out. I was going to make a video to see what you thought cause I was wondering if my hose is defective or not. I bought my from amazon so I'm sure I can exchange it but they dont have anymore in stock right now and I'm not sure if I can call Farberware company for a replacement. If I can avoid it I'd rather not have to replace the whole thing since I already had to throw away my box cover because it came all beaten to hell and I didnt have any of those tie/packing straps that came around them

[@IslaSaona1]

Jason Poe you can use cold water only. The machine heats everything up. If you use the p6 setting then it’s only a 45 minute cycle. Also, mine leaked from the faucet in the beginning. I didn’t have a washer attached to the connection. It solved the problem.

[@addminusDIY]

@@starwenexpress adjust your water pressure under your sink

[@pj4092]

@@addminusDIY Then you'll have to re-adjust it after you're done using the dishwasher, better to figure out why there is leakage and fix that.

[@joshc8918]

Did you ever have residue problems? I'm having a bad problem with that with this particular model. No matter what I do it's still there

[@madisoncrenshaw6605]

use a rinse aid

[@eallen6936]

Do you have to keep the water running while it washes ?

[@NotsoEP]

Of Course, how else will it clean and rinse? The water does not constantly flow. it opens internal valve to refill afrer draining.

[@sleepycalico]

Dawn liquid made my Farberware countertop dishwasher stop working due to much suds, even if I filled only halfway to the fill line. However, it works perfectly on a Finish tablet. I smash it up, remove the red disk, and it makes two portions. Dishes clean perfectly and leave no spotting.

[@NotsoEP]

Never use dishwash liquid in a dishwasher. (Figured this was common knowledge with how many years we have had dishwashers)

[@sleepycalico]

@@NotsoEP I appreciate your knowledge! The booklet says to use liquid because of issues with dissolving (which I didn't experience). I couldn't find any liquid that said it was specific to dishwashers, so I thought they meant this. Now I have googled and found what they intended me to use. Thank you!

[@NotsoEP]

@@sleepycalico Anything that says it can be used in dishwasher. like this one www.amazon.com/Cascade-Complete-All-Dishwasher-Detergent/dp/B006K3XVB6/ref=psdc_15693671_t1_B07BF7HVKL however I use the pods and packs and they work fine for me

I'm working on installing one right now, which is why I watched this video. The directions that come with it are very lacking in information about the hookup process, no pics to help, basically they just say to put it together. Anyway, thanks for taking time to make the video, it helped

[@knightsnidget126]

do you still have this model? how is it holding up?

[@NotsoEP]

I left it in the house, I moved Aug. 31 and used it even on the last day. It has help up well for me!

[@katdonaldson4927]

now that you’ve had it this long, would you recommend people buy these?

[@NotsoEP]

Yes, if you do not have a full size option, this is worth it. Some larger items (a pitcher) have to be hand washed cause of the size but things like that are no big deal. I have had no issues with mine and it cleans most everything first time through. Not sure of other brands or others experience with them but I do like mine.

[@derekdoubleut]

Can you re-post with better audio?

[@NotsoEP]

I can answer your questions if you have any. Not sure this short little video is worth me recording all new audio and then editing the video with that track and reposting.

[@elishadavis8995]

Did you take the black cardboard piece off the back? I can’t for the life of me find this I go anywhere lol

[@NotsoEP]

No, why would you? It is inside the top frame piece and has screws going through the frame and it. Look at 11:30 I show the back. Not the clearest pic but if you pause and look you can see it is meant to be there.

[@Jackie371]

@@NotsoEP Mine had 2 black pieces of cardboard that were just in the box. Maybe they're spares?

[@MrLeoanaya]

Do you know how to use with liquid soap?

[@NotsoEP]

Just put it in the tray cup thing? But be sure you aren't talking about dawn or something. Actual dish soap can't be used in any dishwasher. Must be formulated to work in dishwasher.

[@pavelantonian5693]

How does it remove dirty water?

[@NotsoEP]

Pumps it out the hose connected to your faucet (it's 2 hoses, 1 in and 1 out)

[@mikemason9288]

Thanks for the informative video. You might want to invest in a lavalier mic though!

[@NotsoEP]

I would if I was did this kind of thing daily, usually I do gaming or at my desk stuff where the mic is closer to me. If I get some spare bucks I might invest in a better mic, but at the moment my videos are too sporadic to account for the cost of any new mic.

[@ParisLawLess]

You're not that bright huh. Dishwashers only use a certain amount of water. Using a dishwasher it's considered environmentally friendly due to the fact that you are using less water that it would take to actually wash dishes by hand. So for people who pay for water tend to save money
