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
Not being a Englishman myself - I dare to say this gentleman's eloquence is astonishing! It's beautiful and highly instructive. Thanks.
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
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!👍👍
Your English is excellent and puts most native speakers to shame. It makes your ideas so much more intelligible for us monoglot English speakers.
Such knowledge should not go unrewarded, good luck to you and thank you.
Excellent program. Im amazed how clean that dishwasher was
You are awesome dude. Keep up the good work.

So much fun! I’m glad I saved all the parts from all of the dishwashers I disassembled. Good video 👌👍
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.
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.
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!
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.
Another great video, well thought out and well presented.
One of my favourite channels to watch and love the accent.
Every time I see you doing a long straight cut with a Jigsaw, I get the urge to donate a circular saw to you.
He will eventually find one to repair
Great stuff! I love seeing the uses you've come up with for the salvaged parts. Gives one all kinds of ideas.
Ich freu mich schon sehr auf deine nächsten Videos, denn du bist wahrscheinlich die erste Person auf TH-cam, die Schweißinverter so richtig erklärt!
Also immer weiter so!
the metal frame would make a good smoker box
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.
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
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!
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.
I guess the pump at the end of the video could be used to make a fountain. Great video, thanks for sharing!
not a bad idea
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.
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!
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.
Great to see recycling of equipment.
Very nice! I like all the re-purposing of components and the creation of new electronics like you did with the micro-controller.
I've had that same model for 20 years. Those parts are worth quite a bit
very interesting tear-down and parts demo!
those Pumps in the Miele dishwashers really are quiet.
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.
I think the maker of this video is Supercool! I hate throwing anything in the landfill; to me it's all a "resource".
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!
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😎👍
This is so inspiring! I'm going to search out your other appliance repurposing videos. Thank you!
I didn't know a dish washer has such useful components inside! ت
this is definitely one of my favorite channels - bravo. : D
Just found your channel & I'm hooked. Cheers for all your efforts.
I totally understand absolutely all of the technical bits.
you are a great inventor !!
we need more of these clever ideas .
Yeah, too much good stuff gets thrown into landfills.
The cabinet idea is brilliant! I'll try to make a tool box out of the small photocopier I picked up. Cheers!
Wow, packed with info start to finish. Great vid!
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.
I have seen them transform even in egg incubators :) but for that a fridge is much better as it has insulation and more space
Wow, I love this format! It is so empowering :D
also, "outlandish diameters" hahahaha XD
I guess that 'outlandish' can be translated into 'non-metric' here
@@rjordans Haha exactly, outlanders from the new lands, using old world units. A confused lot.
I highly rate this comment lol
thanks for interesting channel. I am watching it for over the year and like it a lot
You are an ingenious genius engineer genie
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++💥
Great video man...thanks for all the info and ideas
The aqua stop could be connected to the hot water line in the shower. A fun project.
Yet another fantastic video. My no.1 youtube channel, well done. And your English is exceptional! Top man
this is a great presentation very good understanding of the board please do more on circuit board reading thanks.
Excellent format.
Don't change a thing.
Your great keep it up I love you work I wish I was as smart as you are I live in Minnesota
Apart from the word "series" your English is superb.
I think this is a tough one for Germans. "Great Scott" does this too as a notable example.
thanks for sharing pal..
loving your stuff.
very interesting video with lots of useful ideas on how-to use the parts.
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.
This is such a cool video! All the useful components!!
Excellent information and video upload. Thank you.
Wonderfull work ! Thanks for sharing !
Loving your work, keep it coming :-)
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.
this was super nice, looking forward to fiding a old dishwasher so i can build an interogation system :P
Love your channel!
hi, keep up the good work I have always loved your videos thanks 😊
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
"aquastop" alarm clock ;-)
sounds like a German, Garage band. LOL
underrated comment XD
Another awsome video. Thanks.
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!
ah yes, the Aquastop switch. My favourite generator of free dishwashers :D
That stainless housing would make a dandy meat smoker.
I love your videos!
You would definitely survive in a Mad Max type of world!
Thanks for the great info
You are awesome! Keep the great work :)
Best videos out there!!!
Nice uses for all the bits =-)
Nice video like always :) Thumbs up :D
I want that big transformer from the UPS ;)
Alex
genius and understandable,a rare thing ,keep it up :-)
Great learning
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
Great Video!
What a great video.
I love your intro!
That was awesome!
Regarding pumps, the inlet is usually 3 times larger than the outlet to minimize cavitation on the impeller
Everything looks great. Why did the machine fail?
I thought I was the only one that did all that, LOL long as it's good might as well keep using the stuff👍👍👍✌⚡
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 .
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.
what an immaculate englisch you speak mein Herr! :-D Respekt!
Nice update thank you for sharing! Is there a pressure limit to what the aqua stop can handle? I was amazed at how quiet the pump was. It would make a great aquaponics pump for indoor use. I will keep an eye out for trashed dish washers now. Cheers
+jhn seda the "Aqua Stop" or solenoid valve as it'd be more commonly called, would need to be rated for mains pressure, so probably around 10bar (~140psi).
Exactly what I did with the pump from our last dishwasher (Bosch). Now circulates water from a 330 gallon pond in a greenhouse to the 2 GrowBeds on top (made from the angle iron frames of 2 old queen size beds and some stainless sheet). Decommissioned at the moment because the greenhouse needs work but has worked great for nearly 3 years.
can you do a video about your workbench setup like power supply, MCU boards, power tools .. and stuff you usually use in the videos
....very creative....thanks....oldtech
That washer is a beast.
Thank you.
thank you for help
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.
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.
very good
Your a smart man!
