This thread is now >2K posts. Must be come kind of record? *LOL*
So far things seem to be going well enough with this dishwasher. Since it holds so much only have to run the thing about once a week or so. While it can hold pots and pans prefer to do them in the sink to free up space for dishes, patters, etc. It isn't like they are going to come out totally clean (usually) anyway. However if am going to run the unit anyway later on will bung one or two in if there is room.
Contrary to what one has read about these units here in the group am sure there is some sort of timer or whatever control of heating during main wash. About mid or so way through that cycle there is some sort of "clang". This is well after the detergent cup has emptied so that cannot be the cause. Will take a good look at the schematic next time am under the bonnet.
Ran an acidic "cleaning" wash last week to deal with rust and other stain issues including the racks. This cleaned things up quite a bit including rust around the metal/pump area. Wanted to see what one was dealing with in terms of the racks and felt better to just clean up the whole thing that way rather than spot treat each bit on rack. Am going to purchase some of that "ReRack" paint and spend an afternoon sanding down and recoating areas that require attention.
