The "aqua-stop" could be hooked up to a foot pad switch from a sewing machine, this would allow washing of hands in a shop sink without getting dirt/grease on the tap

[@aguretsi]

Not being a Englishman myself - I dare to say this gentleman's eloquence is astonishing! It's beautiful and highly instructive. Thanks.

[@MPeyton0006]

I've studied and read every piece of information I can find about how to electronics and the working of components but I could never begin to explain things as well as you nor do I have the understanding of the inner workings of things like yourself! Good work

[@FredFlintstone21]

This video is of exceptional quality loaded with great ideas to repurpose an appliance that would normally be junk. Thanks so much for tickling my brain with new and exciting ideas!👍👍

[@targetglen]

Your English is excellent and puts most native speakers to shame. It makes your ideas so much more intelligible for us monoglot English speakers.

[@superdave54811]

The Aquastop could be used in conjunction with a footswitch in a shop where you need to wash hands or parts and can keep hands free for other purpose.

[@L337f33t]

I like this idea, mostly because any timer or automatic watering device is already commercially available. The only benefit to building it yourself is that you could get it for free.

[@unshanks]

Great stuff! I love seeing the uses you've come up with for the salvaged parts. Gives one all kinds of ideas.

[@illusivec]

You are awesome dude. Keep up the good work.

[@campbellmorrison8540]

Excellent program. Im amazed how clean that dishwasher was

[@deangreenhough3479]

Another great video, well thought out and well presented. One of my favourite channels to watch and love the accent.

[@dragonblee1]

Such knowledge should not go unrewarded, good luck to you and thank you.

[@worstuserever]

This is a very clear and appropriately detailed guide to an appliance's components and their potential uses; excellent work. I just replaced my dishwasher and found your channel while preparing to salvage parts from the old one. Looking forward to exploring the rest of your content. Thank you!

[@xanataph]

That Aquastop hose was pretty interesting. All the dishwashers in New Zealand I have dealt with have the water solenoid mounted internally and a simple pressure hose connects it to the supply. However recently in the hardware store I saw a product that was described as an Aquastop hose for a washing machine or dishwasher. It was the same principle - the main feed hose inside another one in case the internal one bursts, but it was just a hose with 3/4" threaded couplers on the ends. One thing to remember with these appliance solenoids though is they are not designed for continuous duty, so are only suitable for applications where it's just a brief supply of water to refill a container etc

[@ElectronFunCom]

I guess the pump at the end of the video could be used to make a fountain. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@bruceclothier8238]

not a bad idea

[@AwninGod]

the metal frame would make a good smoker box

[@johnsanchez8029]

So much fun! I’m glad I saved all the parts from all of the dishwashers I disassembled. Good video 👌👍

[@Falney]

Every time I see you doing a long straight cut with a Jigsaw, I get the urge to donate a circular saw to you.

[@chriswatts1701]

He will eventually find one to repair

[@Components-qu3zs]

Excellent video. I do a weekly dumpster dive which my wife dreads, but the parts are awesome. Always useful. Thanks for the interesting knowledge - as always!

[@TelmoMonteiro]

Very nice! I like all the re-purposing of components and the creation of new electronics like you did with the micro-controller.

[@N6MKC]

Excellent repurposing job! Love the idea of the stainless work surface on top. It's a tremendously satisfying feeling to be able to make something useful out of something useless.

[@foyjamez]

Thanks. I see machines on the curb all the time, and think about recycling them for $, but hadn't thought about making controllers for the pumps, and then using those for hydroponics until now. In fact, the cabinets could be used for reservoirs, and there's already sensors. I don't know exactly what I want to do, but you're helping prime my creativity.

[@dwinsemius]

I'm smiling as I imagine my wife's reaction to suggesting that I keep the old dishwasher. Don't get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this session.

[@dusterdude238]

very interesting tear-down and parts demo! those Pumps in the Miele dishwashers really are quiet.

[@kolinevans9127]

this is definitely one of my favorite channels - bravo. : D

[@carloscamacholobo]

I've had that same model for 20 years. Those parts are worth quite a bit

[@PatrykDarasz]

Ich freu mich schon sehr auf deine nächsten Videos, denn du bist wahrscheinlich die erste Person auf KZbin, die Schweißinverter so richtig erklärt! Also immer weiter so!

[@drgibblesgaming7884]

Wow, packed with info start to finish. Great vid!

[@JT-un7dc]

Just found your channel & I'm hooked. Cheers for all your efforts.

[@davidledoux1736]

This is so inspiring! I'm going to search out your other appliance repurposing videos. Thank you!

[@raspouten]

you are a great inventor !! we need more of these clever ideas .

[@dianedong1062]

Yeah, too much good stuff gets thrown into landfills.

[@1969elder]

I know this is an old video but seeing the bowl and pump assembly you constructed in action gave me an idea for you. You could use it with a (plastic safe) solution or solvent and build a very efficient parts washer. Would be great if you could find an old “Texas style” barbecue/smoker, seal it well, add a screen or mesh at the bottom of of the tube where your coals to keep the sludge below where your parts stay, a shelf and filter system for the inlet. You could add a stud wife or something to the exhaust hose so you could position it above the part so it could clean by continuing to run over the item. And close the lid to keep noise and dimension down. Basically a parts washer lol. Sorry for the ramble but you are very inspiring. Thank you sir.

[@oloha2]

I didn't know a dish washer has such useful components inside! ت

[@GlueTubber]

it's because of videos like this that my wife sometimes refers to me as the junkman... :) so many ideas, so little time. Bravo sir, you are an inspiration!

[@CJWarlock]

Awesome, interesting and educative video as always. Thanx for all your effort. Keep on the good work. :) I've already played a bit with solenoid valve. In Poland it's most commonly called an "electrovalve". I like to disassemble equipment so such videos are like a time of relax and enjoyment to me. :) I appreciate your precise attitude to present different topics in your videos. The idea, the view of the object at hand and your narration - everything just fits perfectly. Congratulations on such quality of your videos.

[@waterrocketengeneer]

At home we have pretty much the exact same dishwasher, the colour of the front plastic panel is different, ours has three wire trays but the button layout and everything else is exactly the same. It still runs like a champ!

[@bobdickweed]

Great video man...thanks for all the info and ideas

[@scottritchie6943]

Great to see recycling of equipment.

[@dwuk1986]

thanks for sharing pal.. loving your stuff.

[@HenryTheOunce]

I totally understand absolutely all of the technical bits.

[@MattSiegel]

Wow, I love this format! It is so empowering :D also, "outlandish diameters" hahahaha XD

[@rjordans]

I guess that 'outlandish' can be translated into 'non-metric' here

[@m3chanist]

@@rjordans Haha exactly, outlanders from the new lands, using old world units. A confused lot.

[@rundata]

I highly rate this comment lol

[@za_ozero]

thanks for interesting channel. I am watching it for over the year and like it a lot

[@locksbolbalnaring1157]

Loving your work, keep it coming :-)

[@neptunian5686]

The cabinet idea is brilliant! I'll try to make a tool box out of the small photocopier I picked up. Cheers!

[@CrazyAssDrumma]

This is such a cool video! All the useful components!!

[@paulolobo837]

Wonderfull work ! Thanks for sharing !

[@ianxr650r]

Merry Christmas, my good man. I also love using or reusing things I come across in my travels. People don't understand why I love playing with junk. But I don't want new things from the shops. I want to make new things from what I find.

[@realityprinting2961]

Excellent format. Don't change a thing.

[@makerofthingsunique]

very interesting video with lots of useful ideas on how-to use the parts.

[@davidhoward5586]

Excellent information and video upload. Thank you.

[@robertbain6792]

Love your channel!

[@dianedong1062]

I think the maker of this video is Supercool! I hate throwing anything in the landfill; to me it's all a "resource".

[@hotlavatube]

A dishwasher frame could be used for a sandblasting or spray painting cage. It also reminds me of a powder coating oven, but that'd require substantial modifications.

[@vladnickul]

I have seen them transform even in egg incubators :) but for that a fridge is much better as it has insulation and more space

[@rpe3715]

Excellent video, as usual! I've played with NTC thermistors a bit. They are highly non-linear in their response, as you noted. To convert from resistance (or voltage from your voltage divider) to temperature, often look-up tables are used in the microcontroller. These look-up table values can be found experimentally, or derived mathematically from three data points, using the Steinhart-Hart equation.

[@harounben342]

You are an ingenious genius engineer genie

[@johng5295]

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Another awsome video. Thanks.

[@Drottninggatan2017]

The aqua stop could be connected to the hot water line in the shower. A fun project.

[@PBS-nm1uu]

this is a great presentation very good understanding of the board please do more on circuit board reading thanks.

[@jeremydennis6988]

Your great keep it up I love you work I wish I was as smart as you are I live in Minnesota

[@johnborg5245]

hi, keep up the good work I have always loved your videos thanks 😊

[@zahirnaseem542]

Thanks for the great info

[@PaulHollandWheels]

Thank you . I have been waiting for this video about 2 years. The wife wants me to make her a fountain from my junk pile that's what she calls my parts shead.

[@mickbetts2176]

Yet another fantastic video. My no.1 youtube channel, well done. And your English is exceptional! Top man

[@JOEZEP54]

Great video. Although some of what you present with the electronics is a level of understanding a bit above mine I enjoy watching & learning. If more people had the mindset that we & others that watch your channel & mine & many other similar channels our land fills would be a fraction of what they are today. Stay well, Joe Z

[@mminc81]

I love your videos!

[@MF-lr8ot]

Best videos out there!!!

[@thekalechipsvendetta]

That was awesome!

[@Speed00007]

Great Video!

[@rdmevX]

I had a thought during the video for gaining a water tight seal on the pump. Since you are using heat to help form the plastic around the fittings maybe you can line the plastic with hot glue as the buffer. I recall that this technique is already used by some heat shrink tubing manufacturers to achieve water tight outdoor electrical insulation solutions. Thanks for the videos!

[@KX36]

"aquastop" alarm clock ;-)

[@dusterdude238]

sounds like a German, Garage band. LOL

[@KnightMirkoYo]

underrated comment XD

[@Martin-pb7ts]

What a great video.

[@grantadamson3478]

Apart from the word "series" your English is superb.

[@stoojinator]

I think this is a tough one for Germans. "Great Scott" does this too as a notable example.

[@markrent3269]

genius and understandable,a rare thing ,keep it up :-)

[@zaiohellgren9266]

this was super nice, looking forward to fiding a old dishwasher so i can build an interogation system :P

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

Nice video like always :) Thumbs up :D I want that big transformer from the UPS ;) Alex

[@thiago7542]

You are awesome! Keep the great work :)

[@elioalcala4371]

Great learning

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Moin. Ich muss mal was anmerken. Dein Englisch und - Wortschatz ist wirklich sehr sehr gut. Macht richtig Laune. Nebenbei die richtigen englischen Begriffe lernen die zu den Maschinen gehören! Exellent as always! Thanks for showing your work and explaining your thought process along. We'll done😎👍

[@scorpnz4433]

Dishwashers make great stackable storage once the inner crap is gone & anything else i can get scrap money from. You'd love my place as only a fellow horder would understand with all the treasures i have stored. I use dishwashers for storing lpg gas bottles outside. I mainly do scrap metaling by picking up what people illegally dump i.e washing machines,fridges,freezers,microwaves,bikes. Tools don't normally get dumped. That said they do get thrown out at local transfer stations (rubbish that gets sorted into categories of metals & other classes for recycling) The stuff that gets dumped is astounding ,even new stuff. It's a bloody sacrilege

[@LEO-xo9cz]

I love your intro!

[@AllanLaal]

ah yes, the Aquastop switch. My favourite generator of free dishwashers :D

[@TheEPROM9]

Nice uses for all the bits =-)

[@stefantrethan]

I use an Aquastop like that to dispense water into the bread maker. This way I only need to put in the dry ingredients and it goes to work while I sleep. There were actually two mechanisms inside the Aquastop, that magnetic valve and some kind of pressure activated valve after it. I just cut it in half to remove that second mechanism.

[@thomasblackwell9507]

You would definitely survive in a Mad Max type of world!

[@Altruistic-Viking]

Regarding pumps, the inlet is usually 3 times larger than the outlet to minimize cavitation on the impeller

[@samTollefson]

That stainless housing would make a dandy meat smoker.

[@johnnyb8629]

Those german dishwashers are awesome, I would use those parts to make a aquaponics system. It could be used to control an eb and flow system. To get the absolute benefits from growing food in aquaponics is achieved through automation. I've wanted to convert a dishwasher to a parts washer and that SS tub would be perfect as long as the pump could stand up to the more viscous fluid .

[@rominhawk3949]

Hi TPAI, Thanks for all your great videos. I just wondered if that dishwasher with all the shiny surfaces could have served as a solar oven? Thank you.

[@djkickmycobra5557]

Your a smart man!

[@SybilDefense]

Trying to make a hot water heater egg incubator, with auto water lever adjustment. The plan is to use the water heater element (which needs to be submerged) to heat the water in the stainless base. A bent metal cover could control the humidity. Worse case scenario I screw on two porcelain light bases and attach a circulation fan. Use with incubator controller XM-18 etc to run at ideal temp and rH with PID egg roller trays. Watch at Tully River Quail.

[@samuelfellows6923]

I was curious to the purpose of the fan in that dishwasher, the Integrated water softener - when I was a child (in our old kitchen), if there was a problem with the dishwasher we would pull it out of the kitchen cabinets and test it (looking for leaks, etc) and I would look at the side of it where the said water softener is fully exposed - transparent plastic water unit; water channels, main chamber of softener media, siphon tubes, etc. I found it fascinating to watch this when the dishwasher was filling.

[@caterpillar5574]

good job!!!!

[@DKH83]

Wonderful video. I wish I have the time and understanding to recycle my miele which I have to dump. I felt the pain of wastage. If the aqua stop is small enough I can use it refill my coffee machine.

[@chebhou]

can you do a video about your workbench setup like power supply, MCU boards, power tools .. and stuff you usually use in the videos

[@davidgaleski5303]

thank you for help

[@tomalcolm]

Confession. There is something wrong with every single one of my kitchen appliances. I have a technician coming tomorrow, but secretly I'm hoping they're doomed so that I can take them all apart and play with the pieces. Thank you for feeding my curiosity.

[@TheOgi22]

Thank you.

[@callmeishmael7452]

Everything looks great. Why did the machine fail?

[@javaidiqbal4143]

very good
