dishwashers/ off grid [RE-wrenches]

[Ian Woofenden, Home Power]

Hi Jay,

We have a Fisher-Paykel "dish drawer" model. I just measured a load 
in one of the two drawers on "Fast/Eco", a 38 minute cycle, and it 
used 0.13  kWh. When it's down with the cycle, it draws 6 watts. I 
don't know if it does that forever -- I only waiting several minutes. 
When I opened the drawer, it dropped down to 3 watts. We wired a 
switch to kill the phantom. Using this cycle (which is pretty much 
all we use), a 60-minute timer would be even better.
