When it&#39;s a jar.<\/p>\n<p>That&#39;s a joke by the way. It&#39;s especially a joke if you have a Siemens dishwasher who&#39;s door is not designed to be left ajar.&#0160;You can have it fully open, or fully closed, but it won&#39;t rest in any position in-between unless you prop it open, e.g. with a cork or other handy item that you may have to hand, as per my picture below.<\/p>\n<p>Why would I want to prop it open? Because after it&#39;s finished, if you open the door for 15 minutes then the residual heat dries the contents just nicely, as long as the steam can escape. If you don&#39;t open the door, you can look forward to plates and glasses that still need the attention of a tea towel, even several hours after the machine finishes its cycle. Leaving the door fully open is asking for a kitchen accident of course, so that&#39;s not really an option. This door ajar approach is standard practice with any dishwasher, no? Maybe I&#39;m alone in this, but every other dishwasher I&#39;ve come across neatly sits open a few inches to facilitate my whim, and it&#39;s got to be trivially easy to manufacture into the door mechanism. Certainly my posh Siemens dishwasher would look a lot better without the cork.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340120a4fe790c970b\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DishwasherCork\" class=\"at-xid-6a00e5550e015888340120a4fe790c970b \" src=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340120a4fe790c970b-400wi\" style=\"width: 400px; \" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When is a Dishwasher door not a dishwasher door?
