issues

Strange that the GFI would only trip during the dry cycle, since the motor and heating element are wired such that they are always on together. If it's going to trip, it should trip immediately. Very strange.

I wouldn't worry about fiddling with the tap to reduce the fill, the pressure switch will not let it overfill.

toggleswitch- Soap dispenses at the 10 minute power wash. It's just a simple open ended metal soap dispenser that hangs off of the top basket.

PeteK- Deep cleaning power Electrasol in lemony powder form averages not more than 4.5% phosphorus, in the form of phosphates wich is equivalent to 0.72 grams per tablespoon use level. Other ingredients include water softeners, chlorine bleach, cleaning agents (that could be anything), dishwasher and china protection agents (?), perfume and colorant.

frontaloadotmy- racks and rubber that used to be white are now yellowed but not dried or cracked. I used rubber protectant on all rubber parts. The fan AND element come on together during dryng period and yes, I'll have that impeller photo for you soon.

kenmore1978- I can't understand the problem either. It's only when the element is NOT submerged or surrounded by water in any way that the GFI outlet trips. I have not tried to run this unit on a regular outlet so I don't know if it will trip my circuit breaker.

if you run it on a regular outlet, i'd seriously not touch it!

and i'd disconnect the power before the water!

Careful

oh and just to be a real alarmist..

PLS, PLS, PLS dont touch the sink or faucet with one hand and the machine with the other, obviously.

Sorry just had to say the obvious.
