New Dishwasher complaint

[washertalk]

Well I think If I continue to use a DW I will buy only small boxes of powder Cascade, of which I think I will store in a glass container. And use Jet Dry for rinse aid

I also think, since I keep my gas water heater basicly on Warm I would install a undercounter instant water heater to bring the water up to a usable temp BEFORE entering the DW. This way all cycles will have HOT water and it shouldn't have to spend extra time washing and heating.

Thank-you Appnut-Bob, you are right the basket does have fins allowing it to stand on edge. I always remember the Whirlpool DW baskets in the past having a slanted bottom??

Dishwasher detergent with PowerBalls in it. I don't know, that sounds like such a gamble.

PeterH- Young Man, Mrs. Van RubyPubes says it sounds like you were born on the nicer side of the tracks, but don't be getting a smart mouth with me youngster. I know your Grandmother Gretchen and she would have NONE of that. And If you come by and egg my house again and uproot my cucumber plants I will have my cousin who works for the Police dept on you. He'll give you a good thrashing with a rubber hose.

Anyway, shame on me for not posting an upclose pic of the control panel. Surely that is criminal behavior here at AW.org I mean what good is an appliance with out the control panel?

Yikes....

I wonder what side of the tracks I was born on, at St Clares..... does living in Rotterdam count for anything?? We did move to Guilderland later on, so am I socially irresponsible or just a bad seed?

Erik, I was tooling around Sears site last night. They still offer this model too, of their verison. The Kenmore version has nylon racks and also has a real sani-rinse option.

Personally, unless everything is basically totally rinsed off, I wouldn't use the "Normal" cycle. It's what used to be "Light" from several years ago of going right into the main wash. also, the high-temp wash option will turn the "purge" into a full-filled rinse, thus you'll get to real rinses after the wash. It will be a very sad day in dishwasherdom whe Whirlpool ceases making the PowerClean-based dishwashers.

I use this Roper (not bought at lowes mind you, but an independant)for $249 now if i can (which is most of the time), if not i put an elchepo $188 Roper or Tappan in from Lowes (whichever they have)in..Like the lady who just called me at 11:30 pm (i never give out my cell, just my voice mail service, some how she got it)..Any who, her's broke and shes all po'd and she wants one Tonight..Asked if she'd ever thought of washing them by hand...She states she doesn't know how...Lazy B*t*c*... So she will get the el crapo Tappan and learn taht i don't pull dishwasher outta my ass...
