 My first suggestion is since you're a compulsive rinser, any dishwasher you get I'd just use the 30 minute or 1 hour cycle at best. Sounds like you over ran your dishwasher with the former KitchenAid. I'd have just used the 30 minute quick wash cycle. You'd still have it today because you wouldn't have destroyed the racks. Also go very easy on the detergent. You caused your racks to be eaten up. I've had a GE PotScrubber for 21 years and a Kenmore Elite (KitchenAid) for 7 years and the racks were pristine when removed and I don't rinse and let things accumulate. Grew up in west Houston so curious which "burb you live in. | ||

 Doesn't pre rinsing cause damage to the racks because there's no "food waste" left for the harsh ingredients to work on , so they work on the plastics and coatings. I was shocked to see the interior of our next door neighbors similar to mine KitchenAid.. She pre-rinses everything as well and the interior of her machine looks like shite. I pre rinse nothing, barely scrape crap off and it all comes out clean,, and the interior is still new looking. Too bad I've had all those electronic problems with it in the beginning which is why I'll never buy another,, but it does clean well now that it's finally working. | ||

The truth Get a vintage Kitchen Aid or reverse rack Maytag, have it serviced by someone like John Lefever, then enjoy, your dishes will be washed and dried in a hour or less, and they will be clean. | ||

Maytag
Mine will be 4 yrs old soon - no problems. I don't pre-rinse anything with the exception of EGGS or MILK. Dishwashers do need food soils for the enzyme detergents to work on. I always do a bob load with auto clean and it takes about 90 min with no dry and I add about 2 tbs of chlorine bleach b4 starting a load and it keeps the interior so clean. The only dirty dish I've ever pulled out was dried mayo on a butter knife and a LONG time ago we did the peanut butter test on here and (I did it twice) - first time there was a little peanut butter left, but when I used a longer cycle, it came out perfectly clean.

Get any New Maytag DW They are simplest, most power full and most reliable great performing DWs on the market.
Skip the dish rinsing, yes KA did have some problems with plastic parts of there rack parts a few years ago, [ Kitchenaid covered most costs of repair for this problem ] but you made it much worse by pre-rinsing your dishes, and if a properly working DW leaves Pre-rinsed dishes looking bad when they come out, it is always related to your water conditions and detergents you are using.
