KDS 19 WATER HEATING
You would save money on water heating by turning your water down to 120, but if you don't want to or can't turn down the water heater down bypassing the thermostat that delays the timer on the dishwasher is an excellent idea. I have bypassed many delay heating thromostats on KA dishwashers where people didn't want all the delayed water heating and the machine will still work well and last longer.

It pauses alot for water heating which in the scheme of things is really not necessary
Sounds like someone used the "Pots and Pans" cycle, lol. No need for that cycle! The "Normal" wash cycle will take care of 99% of your needs: Fill, Preheat, wash, drain, fill, wash, drain, fill, wash, drain, fill, main wash, drain, rinse, sani rinse (pre-heated), dry. If your have a REALLY dirty load and want a pre-rinse before the first heated fill, use the "Heavy" cycle. As the water in the house is about 140. It may be 140F at the water heater, but by the time it gets to the tap, it's at least 15-20F cooler. Once the water hits the cold porcelain cabinet, that's even less temp. By now, you're probably sitting at about 100F or less. The temps gets even lower when the water starts being thrown around the cabinet and dishes. | ||

KDS - 19
My family had a KDS - 19 for about 25 years. It was a good machine but you needed to use jetdry to make sure you got excellent results for drying. The 1st water fill took about 15 minutes to heat and for the last rinse about 8 minutes. Always spotless results. These water heating delays on the 19 series heated the water to 150.
