Hey dishwasher gurus... would the racks from a KDC-20A would be the same racks as in our KDS-20? |

When I got my first KDS-18, I was in heaven to have that second wash arm.
I eventually swapped out a 20 rack for the 18. Yeah, it was better but I really never had a problem with the upper rack cornors. What I could never understand is Why, Why, Why, Hobart never came up with a better Overhead Spray Arm to replace the Constant Rinse ??? My 20 cleans great, but I notice the 18 is better. |

I've read that the upper arms are interchangeable between the 18 and 20 series.
I wonder if maybe Hobart abandoned the Constant Rinse because items on the upper rack would get in the way and impede or impair its operation. Just last night I did a load in the Classic Supreme and I had some large items in the top rack that were barely scraping against the top of the tub. I'd have had to do some major re-arranging if a Constant Rinse mechanism was present, because using the height adjustment for the top rack wasn't an option due to large items below.
Just an observation. |

Look at Maytag, Ge's Power Shower, WP and Kenmores had upper spray arms that have withstood the test of time.
The Original Constant Rinse was Very Flimsy and Delicate. One shot with a mixing bowl or something and it would be Toast. Stevet sent me some "replacements" that Hobart came up with. It's like a Rotary Impeller that the water spays on and it spins. Similar to the one on my '05 KenWhirl with the Power Module. You need one of those "Yibble Eliminator". The Superbas and probably yours too. Look at the side of rack for that white knob. |

Ralph,
I was a tid-bit worried about the constant rinse being an issue with tall items when I installed the KDS-18 last week. However, everything I've thrown into the 18 that was thrown into 19 has not impeded with the constant rinse in any way. Having the tops of dishes on the upper rack washed and exiting with yibble free results is a big added plus, thanks to that small but powerful constant rinse! |
