Hobart killed off the 2nd rinse in the 21 series DWs, KA was trying to compete in terms of overall water usage with the European DWs that were starting to sell in the US in the early 80s. Whirlpool did not kill off two final rinses in their WP branded DWs, the WP models were not in direct competition with Asko and Bosch etc.
WP did not start to take control of KA DWs till 1986, the KD21 series was completely a Hobart design. When the KA KD-21 DWs came out, WP Power-Clean, KM Ultra-wash DWs built by WP, GE DWs with the multi-orbit wash arm and filtering system and MT reverse rack DWs were all better performing DWs than KA DWs in cleaning ability. Once WP took over KA we were actually taking back KA 21 and 22 DWs and giving the customers WP Power-Clean DWs to satisfy customers that were complaining about the cleaning performance of their new KA DWers |

For a load that needs a good amount of detergent I run the S&S cycle and leave the main wash door open. I figure it is better to use the 2 cycles with the most heating for washing. Those would be S&S and Prewash. I let the main wash and purge be my rinses and the final rinse for sanitizing. Yet to not have everything come out perfect.

You know, my electronic Whirlpool short-tub which I had installed in my townhome about three years ago only does the full two rinses when there's a heated wash, (which is default for the Pots & Pans). That machine turned out to be wonderful....I'd do a manual rinse-only, then I'd fill the open detergent dispenser full, and put just a dab into the covered dispenser. On the P&P cycle it would have a very extended first wash, drain, then a short second wash, short full rinse, and then an extended heated rinse. The loads came out sparkling, with no residue. I really don't think a purge then full rinse is enough after full detergent wash.
