I decided to use this gem in my house. I plan to install a separate point-of-use domestic hot water tank under my sink next to the dishwasher. Although the temperature will not reach the 180 F, I will have to find a detergent or chemical that will work - there is a chemical injection pump on this dishwasher. The only problem is the smell - how does one get rid of it.

Do these machines have adjustable cycle controls? Can the standard cycle be modified at all?

Far as I know the cycles are pre-set...4 minutes (2 minute wash, drain, partial fill, drain and 2 minute rinse..)

Wow, that is quick!

Is this one of the dishwashers that is designed to be used with an antiseptic manual rinse as well?

I remember having to do that when I volunteered as a teen at a mountain scientific research facility.

You might try running some Borax through it. But pehaps better to disassemble it as much as possible to see if there's hidden rot somewhere that needs to be dealt with.

Once upon a time I got a free Bosch DW off Craigslist. It had a blown heater relay or something, and the previous owners had been running it off not-hot-enough tap water. Not sure that it ever finished a cycle properly. Anyway, it also had a horrid mold smell (and the mold had actually discolored some of the internal plastic). I finally gave it away on Craigslist to a gent who said it was just for show and it didn't matter if it worked or not.

I was glad to see it go.

I ran the dishwasher with CLR and took the whole dishwasher apart. I manage to clean off the algae in the tub, door and under all corners/ seals - quite disgusting! (I should have taken the before picture). The smell was awful...at least the metal is now clean. The pump housing was stained and I managed to clean it up. I had extra spray arms. The plastic racks are a mess and moldy. I am going to buy some new ones - I don't want my dishes touching it.
