here's the outside. I will get a filthy load soon. I just got a new camera so I took a picture of the load I had. But I usually cram in more.

normal cycle, water heat and no heat dry selected. Which means 1 wash, 2 rinses. My sensor never made it longer in 8 years of usage. (no prewash) Cascade powder(both dispensers).

I used to have the portable version of this machine, which my sister now owns. I never ever took a dirty dish out of this machine. I actually never got to use the Pots and Pans cycle either because everything was spotless with Normal and Hi Temp wash. I caught my sister pre rinsing her dishes the other day using HOT WATER. I nearly had a heart attack! She said that she was afraid that the dishwasher wouldn't clean off the leftovers! I am trying to break her out of the habit...fast!

Terry, I hate to tell you, but I consider that load to be light to moderte soil AT BEST!! That's hardly much of any dirty for any dishwasher I've ever used. Serge, that's wayy too much detergent (both dispensers) for that soil level. Your sensor has never added a pre-wash if that's all the soil you put in there (hope I'm not offending you). I'm finding I rarely need both cups filled on my Kenmore Elite Tall Tub, and ya should have seen what I threw at it afer making chicken pasta salad. I guess it's time for another "nicely cooked" meatloaf dinner with glenn & rj and glenn take pics!!! (compare GE potscrubber & my elite TT). Maybe Venus needs to come along too so I can tie her in a chair and torture her while I throw slimey, encrusted stuff in my dishwasher!!

I will tell ya, I've had two absolutely filthy, dirty loads since I've gotten the new dishwasher in May. How did I know they were so bad? Because there were 3 auto filter purges in the prewash & two in the main wash. that's only happened twice. and maybe two times when there's been one purge in the main wash. Oatmeal bowls and maybe a pan or two for rice collect in a week. That'll get 3 purges in the prewash no purge in the main wash. Heck I did a crem of broccoli production load tonight and no soil purges happened at all!!

Thanks Appnut. I guess my KitchenAid does these purges also. When it starts, I hear the water filling for about 30 seconds, then circulates for a few seconds and drains. Also, during the wash cycle, it pauses for a few seconds (I'm assuming that is when it is 'sensing' how dirty the water is) and then starts washing again. Gary | ||

Actually that 5 second or so circulate after 55 seconds of fill (on my Elite) is sort of a "conditioning" of the tank. It's for people who have their water heater set at 150 or 160 and all that steam pressure would cause some sort of leaking if sudden hit with hot water (Magic Clean explained it something like that, sorry Leslie for thei misquote). AND it shouldn't drain after that short circulate, should keep adding water for the prewash. Purges happen 4-6 miinutess into the cycle and at about 12 minutes into the main wash cycle. The pauses during prewash and main wawsh are for sensing soil, water temp, and load size.

On my Ultra wash dishwasher shown above, my Water Miser cycle does 1 wash and 1 rinse. This model is quite frugal for a non- tall tub american model. I think my normal cycle uses about 6.5 gallons of water ( 1 wash, 2 rinses). | ||
