My scientific wild guess: the 'light' wash option ran through as W-R-R then shut off, so what would be the second wash of the normal or 150 degree wash cycle was in fact the final rinse for the short cycle.
Basing this on my foggy memories of the avocado Lady K... Let's how good my imagination really is... LOL | ||

D&M KM DW
The reason this was done was D&M cheeped out and used the detergent dispenser solenoid to also release rinse agent every time the DD solenoid was activated, D&M never spent one cent more than absolutely needed when building these DWs. The problem was that rinse agent can make the wash water foam especially when the wash temperature in nice and hot which these D&M built DWs could easily do if the hot wash cycle was used. This combination could result in even MORE leaking than usual on these poorly designed and cheaply built machines. This was also a waste of rinse agent, LOL.
Good observation Don, but I will never have the least bit of respect or praise for D&M built DWs, I struggled with too many over the years and am truly glad that there none left in use any longer among our customers. | ||

My early 70's Lady Kenmore had the display lights letting you know exactly what it was doing. Normal/Power wash was W-R-R-W-R-R dry. Light wash went R-W-R-R dry. Sani temp only worked in the final rinse, regardless of the cycle chosen. It did not offer an air dry, just heated dry, so I set a timer for 22 minutes on normal, hit cancel/drain button and open the door. But that roto rack cleaned better than any dishwasher I have had since.

When the temperature indicator reached SANI-, how much longer did the rinse last before draining? | ||
