Why is it when Kitchen Aid came out with the 18 series in 1976 that the upper level power wash( middle wash arm) was so short in width, not even getting close to the corners? Thoughts or theories? |

My family had the kds19 for 25 years. It was a great machine. Yes it was a mistake that they took out the drying heater. But if you used the jetdry it would be fine. I do feel that they should have worked it where the water should have been heated in the main wash instead of the prewash. In the 19 series the final rinse water was also heated to 150 to componsite for the no heat drying. They were still great machines and nothing like them are built today. Peter |

Was it so they did not have to re-architect the upper rack with the "dipped" sides...if they put in the full-width spray arm they would lose too much height on the edges, plus they changed to the big plates instead of going down the middle to them going down the left side. I think it was a height problem.
