My former dishwasher, a TOL Frigidaire, had both 'top rack only' and 'bottom rack only' options. The first couple of minutes of the wash and rinse cycles would spray from the bottom arm, then it would switch to the middle arm for the remainder of the time (for the top rack only cycle). I think it does that to dissolve detergent and clean debris off the lower part of the wash tub. The higher-end Frigidaires alternate washing between the lower arm and middle arm on all cycles. Don't know if Bosch's do this. |

I have the Bosch and I use the Top Rack option often. I have never taken the opportunity to open the door quickly to see what's going on though. I know it sounds different when it's running that way. I hear the water hitting the door just a little bit. Now that I think about it, maybe the bottom is spraying and I hear the water hitting the door because it is not being blocked by dishes and pans. I know that the entire dishwasher is always clean when it's finsihed so I always assumed the bottom sprayer ran at least a little bit to clean the bottom portion of the dishwasher. |
