Ok..I've been on the hunt for a KitchenAid portable dishwasher for some time now but I have one question. As far as post wash rinses go, do the machines go directly from the main wash to the final rinse? Or is there at least a purge in between. It's been awhile since I last used my friends 1990 Custom so I can't recall.

Great to know that Someone thought of making a conversion kit to go the other way from built in to portable. I would like to see that link too if you have it. |

Mike, thanks for advising on that partial fill purge thing. I always thought maybe my '90 KA had a little quirk to it with that partial fill and short run before draining again. I have not been able to find anything in the literature on my machine that speaks to this. Now I know it's a normal function.

As luck would have it, my friend is getting a new dishwasher and said he'd give me his 1992 Kitchen Aid KUDC21 I believe. The problem is that he has the hardest water and the inside looks like a horror show. What has the last 16 years of this water done to this machine and what could I use to clean the crud off of the inside?

A cup of CLR added manually to your longest wash cycle, along with a capful of unscented fabric softener (to cut suds production) works wonders for hard water deposits. Run a complete cycle after cleaning to rinse. |

Jeff - is it safe to put a whole cup of CLR into a dishwasher? Isn't that stuff pretty caustic? It does a great job on tile and such, but can that cause damage to the mechanicals of the machine? It also smells!! |
