I think it just might be because the seal around the glass would inevitably fail from constant thermal expansion during normal use, thus leaking all over the damn place.
Ovens have glass. And in my experience get much hotter than dishwashers.
Dishwashers need to be water-tight, ovens don’t…
Ovens don’t have a bunch of high pressure water sprayers in them. They just leak hot air at worst.
‘Just hot air’ is a bit of an understatement. Mine goes to 500°C during a cleaning cycle. It physically locks the door so you can’t open it when it does this. My dishwasher I can open at any time.
Fun fact you can hack a self-cleaning oven to use the hellfire temperature of 500 ° F to make good ass thin crust pizza!
you have to figure out how to bypass the door lock, use a pizza stone, and put the pizza as high up in the oven as possible. but you can get a damn good thin crust pizza with enough creative engineering and some experimentation.
recommended to try this project in winter as it dumps loads of heat in the house lol
How does that differ from current metal door?
I’d assume it isn’t see through because you load it up with dirty dishes that sit for days before you run it. No one wants to spend days staring at the crusty spoon meemaw dipped in the peanut butter and licked like an ice cream cone before the wash is finally run
who the fuck lets dirty dishes sit in there for days lol
People who don’t make a lot of dirty dishes? Running a dishwasher that is not full wastes water and energy. When I was single I would only run the dishwasher twice a week or so.
I have twelve dinner plates. Often I’ll use two a day (my partner doesn’t share my allergies or diet and mostly uses bowls)
We have many hot drink mugs
We have twelve sets of cutlery
The dishwasher runs when we run out of clean [plates|cups|cutlery] that is weekly or less often
Modern dishwashers can easily clean tons of crust. That’s why it takes them so long. As long as bigger chunks are gone and you clean the trap you are fine.
God I fucking hate how they chose to punctuate/capitalize. What the actual fuck? Just use italics if you want to emphasize something, good lord.
Can you use italics on Twitter?
I guess it’s a part of the Twitter Blue sub, but there are workarounds.
My point still stands ‘This is a stupid fucking Way to emphasize things’.
yes, IT, reall,Y is.
Here you go. It’s gross!
Was expecting Steve Mould but I take Technology Connections.
Date idea: a nice dinner, followed by the feature-length Technology Connections Dishwasher Anthology
If this is your idea of a good date… If you’re a gay man, I’ll marry you.
I said it as a joke, but honestly…cooking something together with a special someone then sharing a bottle of wine that guy absolutely roasts the very concept of detergent pods sounds like a great night
Doesn’t it? I really want this in my life. I don’t know anyone IRL that likes that sort of thing D:
That’s one of very few channels that both me and my brother in law share. We often ask each other if we follow one channel or another. He made a comment about Christmas light colour that made me ask
I feel like I prefer Technology Connections. Steve Mold never seems to go into all the details
Dammit, I had shit to do and instead watched a half an hour video about dishwashers.
Worth.
Wash it down with several hours worth of content on heat pumps. It’s worth it.
There are, in fact, several more hours worth of dishwasher content from the same channel. Doubly worth it
We have a counter top dishwasher. It has a window. It’s not that interesting though.
Yup, was coming to comment the same. Mine has one too, it’s just not very interesting or even necessary to see.
Watching food cook is appetizing and also a necessity to know when it is done. Watching the slurry of fat, food rests and soap is not.
Maybe for you. They put windows on cloths machines and people watch the heck out of those, let me watch the dishes clean.
Then why do washing machines for clothes have windows?
They didn’t back in my day.
What are you doing with your clothes? Mine are rarely covered with fat, grease or food.
Then you ain’t livin, pal.
Pretty colors spin round make fun watch
To check the progress before electric displays and fancy indicator lights. Windows came before those upgrades when machines were still dial controlled.
But they still have windows. Plus I think old fashioned top loading ones didn’t actually.
Because people liked the feature. Look, I’m just saying WHY they added windows. That was the reason. I’m not saying it’s a good reason or no one could figure things out before. They added them for that reason, people liked it, and it stuck around. Yet, there’s always gonna be someone dragging out their 30 year old washer going “but mine is fine!”. Never said it wasn’t. Or someone pointing out that not all washers have a window even today. Cool. Nifty. But if yours does have one, that was the reason they got added.
That’s what I still use and it does not. I have zero reason to know what’s going on inside however because it literally operates on the equivalent of a kitchen egg timer. It’s done when the dial says it’s done. All controls are entirely mechanical. Washing machine is older than I am. I bet the damn thing is 50 years old.
Edit: Same as this one which seems to be a model from the 70s.

Congrats on having an ancient machine with no variable timing that finishes early and being able to look in tells you what step it’s on easily at a glance instead of staring at your worn away knob. Good for you. Was it relevant at all to the discussion about why they added windows to machines that do?
Yes, it was relevant to the comment I replied to. It was an off topic segue that’s common in the nature of what we call threaded discussions. That you feel you should copy and paste your response as if it’s a personal attack to you or your argument is quite perplexing, but everybody’s got their own way of seeing the world yeah?
It might also have to do with the fact that a window is more expensive, but required for ovens and microwaves as food night burn otherwise, but usually there’s no issue running a dishwasher longer than exactly required
It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.
Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the oven while it’s running.
You can open it but you every time you do, you lose heat, which has to be compensated for by the oven. A window makes the process much easier. There wouldn’t really be measurable gains for a dishwasher
That person has never cooked a souffle.
How’s it not safe to open the oven while running? Just don’t touch anything without mitts and keep your face back.
They meant the microwave
Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.
Saw this post, instantly thought “Technology Connections”, am not disappointed by the comments here.
i bet it’s mostly because it’s fucking nasty in there.
It’s because the water is t o o w e t
My dishwasher has a window. It’s a lot of water spraying everywhere.
Thats what big dishwasher wants you to think, they put the fake window to hide the dishwashing gnomes from the public eye. Wake up sheeple
OH FUCK
Obviously, the dishwasher manufacturers don’t want us to know about the gnomes.
Gnomes with cleaning equipment.And when your dishes don’t get very clean, that’s because the gnomes partied a bit too hard the night before and just aren’t up to their normal standards.
Hmm. That’s also a great name for a punk band. Dishwasher Gnomes.
Going to trademark that right now.It’s not the fact that the gnomes exist! It’s how they’re treated, down with big dishwasher!
Dishwater Gnomes
Cover songs of 90s alternative at x2.5 speed and an octave higher.
No not punk. It would combine 80s one hit wonder songs with 2010s hipster southern folk.
They don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes
there’s a little gnome that lives in mine to lick them clean. charges exorbitant prices though.
I bet you it would be the most interesting to see out of all of these.
This video by Technology Connections has a few scenes where you can see one at work.
So amazing to me that this has got to be one of his most popular videos.
Like…this vid went viral as hell. People are passionate about dishwashers. And I get it. There’s a lot of misinformation out there.
The only thing I remember about Stewart Little, beyond him being a mouse, is that in the movie he gets trapped in the dishwasher and he is only saved because the family for some reason has a dishwasher with a glass front.
For some reason that scene has stuck in my head for 25 years. And I swear its because of their weird glass-front dishwasher that is just so out of place.
I’m sorry to say, but that was a washing machine…
My whole life is a lie!
The dishwasher continues to remain a mystery then 🤔
