Following up, I finally used some of this detergent. Results were pretty ho-hum. Dishes came out looking mostly clean but not really sparkling. One fork still had some food stuck on it. I don't think it was even as good as fresh Walmart Great Value powder. This was matter of curiosity more...

I found an old sample package of Cascade Complete powdered dishwasher detergent in my drawer, about 4 oz. No date on the label, but it states that it contains 7.74% phosphorous, in the form of phosphates. It's a sealed poly pouch and the powder inside still seems loose, not hard or clumpy...

Thanks for all the feedback, I do appreciate it. Yes, I'm well aware of the quality of this machine which is why I've kept it for so long. But we decided it's time to move on to an LG front loader pair. It will make my wife happy, and the LGs seem to be well respected even by some fans of...

Well I like the ATC 'Cold' wash setting because it mixes in some warm water. It makes the cold wash water more of a lukewarm temp than ice cold.

I just found this forum while looking for info on the timer on my late-80s Kenmore, 110.82881800. One day the knob started to spin freely so I could no longer turn the dial to select cycles. I had inherited this Kenmore 15 years ago when I bought our house and it was already old back then...
