My vintage Maytag Wu401 does

You can hear it rinsing and filling at the same time

It's supposed to do that, satisfy the float switch for filling after the pump starts circulating. Should only do it for 5-10 seconds, not continuously.

Yep, my WU-204 has done this for the last 17 years since it was new. Nothing to worry about.

No, but I was wondering if someone could invent a Martini glass that could do that.

fill while rinsing

My vintage tag also goes into a fill during the last wash cycle. You can hear the timer and valve operate for about 30 seconds. Does this on all cycles.

Hobart KD-2P does this only during the initial water purge (fills and drains at the same time). The rest of the time, what's in the tub stays in the tub until it's time to drain.

My little 18" Kenmore (built by Frigidaire) does this as well. Happens after the main wash, before the final rinse and before every other wash cycle (that is before the second wash in "Pots & Pans" and main wash in "Normal".

Always thought the purpose of filling and draining was to flush out any muck from the bottom of the tub,and pump so to have fresh for the next cycle. Comes in especially handy when using Electrasol tablets, which tend to be rather frothy during the wash.

I'm waiting to see if any domestic dishwashers start to offer an option to hold over final rinse water for use in the next wash cycle. You know, the way commercial dishwashers, like Hobarts.
