LG Dishwasher Inside

[nmassman44]

I have an LG dishwasher, not this particular model, but the LDF 5545. The first prerinse is like this and yes it does look weak, but there is a reason for it, not to overload the filtration system. In my machine there are 4 prerinses before the main wash. In the 3rd and 4th prerinses the wash motor ramps up speed and scours each rack alternating between racks. The main wash uses a low, medium and high pressures The low pressure sprays the dishes and lets the detergent soak into the soils on the items in the load, then the dishwasher ramps up pump speed and then washes each rack at medium pressure. In the middle of the wash cycle the pump stops and ramps up pressure to the max and then scours the hell out of everything in the load. Mine has the Quad Wash arm and the arms sweep in a counterclockwise movement. The water reaches to the ceiling of the tank with quite a bit of force.
The top video is not how these dishwashers operate all the time.

Where's that curtain between the Wash and Rinse section ? I know you took it out for the vid.

I'll have to upload the vid of the Cle at the Golf Club.

Cle 44 at the Golf Club. Finally changed the Chemicals and the machine is much better.

That's actually not my video Eddie:

No way in hell I could bring a camera into the prison. I found it on YT. Still amazingly strong wash action and build for a modern dishmachine. I'm glad you got the chemicals sorted out on this machine. I have found they do an excellent job of washing and rinsing but it does require the proper chemistry. I know several Ecolab guys who hated these machines until they got to understand how they worked and set their products accordingly. We currently use Solid Power XL and Rinse Dry in our machine.

Seriously!

Seriously! My Kenmore 13222 made by Whirlpool cleans better than this "dishwasher"! Really? I would never ever, ever, ever buy an LG after what I saw!
