I think she uses detergent tabs (no rinse aid liquid or anything like that), but I've been telling her first thing is to get rid of the suds first as ANY machine will leak suds... |

Still foaming....any ideas? Hasn't had soap in it for over a month. Did the salt trick and it ran with no leaks. Tried again, and foam as shown.... |

I've got the same problem with my Whirlmore Ultra Wash II. I can hear the suds forming just after the dispenser drops the tab. DW doesn't do it with powder. I'm blaming it on the mighty power of the pump! |

I think she got some hand dishwashing soap in the machine, it can take a long time to clear this out whenever we have a customer who's machine starts foaming we advise them to stop the dishwasher and add 1/4 cup of cooking oil, salt and vinegar do nothing.
Detergent tablets contain wedding agent and can contribute to foaming problems Low fill level could also cause foaming. It's also possible that the check valve at the drain on the pump is worn out and this allows air to be drawn back into the pump which contributes to the dishwasher making a lot of foam the check valve may need to be replaced. You can often tell if the check valve is bad by listening at the disposer or airgap While the dishwasher is washing and if you hear is sucking noise you know the airgap is shot. |

In my old Maytag we had foaming with Finish and Cascade. Now that the KA is installed, I've been using gel with chlorine and it's been washing fine. This morning and tonight I used a Walmart brand powder packet and I could hear the foam, opened the door and sure enough there it was. A few days ago I noticed foaming with Finish in the KA too. I guess I'll just stick with chlorine gel that was out when this KA was built...worked fine for all those years before enzymes! |

Anyone have a good source for this lower rack? As you can see from the photo, it's seen better days. It's expensive new and if I could find a good used one, that would work. It's part #3381480 originally which is now superseded to W10134647. Thanks... |

like your replacement rack is not a Whirlpool / KitchenAid part. Appears to be from a Frigidaire. |

The Ebay seller didn't want it back, just refunded the money. I'd swap it for the right rack if someone has one that fits my machine.... Thanks. |

This is hopefully the end of the search. Found one on Ebay, good shape $70 delivered. It came off a Kitchenaid and appears to be the right one. Will advise. Thanks to all! |
