Insulation on the outside of dishwasher tubs
As I mentioned before is mainly there for noise and to keep heat in the dishwasher, it does slow down condensate drying inside the tank but the dishes will still dry just a little more slowly with the insulation there.
It's very important if the dishwasher came with insulation to keep the insulation on the dishwasher, we can see a huge difference when we're testing dishwashers in the shop that we are rebuilding if the insulation is not there, they take an extremely long time to make it up to the high temperature wash temperatures because the heat loss is so rapid you'll use more electricity without the insulation for sure and have often longer cycles.
Reply number 37, hi Alex if they took the factory insulation off a KitchenAid dishwasher, they didn't know what they're doing. The insulation could not possibly cause the machine to overheat or the motor to burn Out there's been no recalls on KitchenAid dishwashers for such issues. As mentioned in the last paragraph if you take the insulation off, the machine is just gonna run a lot more use more electricity wear out the main motor faster and possibly ruin the electronics faster with all the current draw that's required to try to heat water without insulation.
