Yep... A tricke of water helps pushing the oil film to the drain. |

Older Whirlpools did the filling when the pump was in wash mode. I like that so that the dishes start to get drenched. I love the sounds of the pump gathering strength. |

I seem to remember older Siemens dishwashers doing that here.

Whirlpool machines seem to start half way through the fill. Never understood why but its interesting to hear the pump gather strength.
@Appnut- My Maytag is the same. The pump does 2-3 short bursts then stays on. I know why but don't know physics behind it. When you start the drain pump on a full tub of water the amount the comes out of the drain hose is small, but if you pulse the pump its seems to trigger almost a siphon or something because its start to drain like you would expect- fast. |

My dishwasher has a reversing pump motor with separate impellers on the one shaft for wash and drain. The spray arm sits directly atop the upper recirculation impeller. The lower drain impeller is in a small sump. Current draw on the motor is used to sense the proper fill level so it must run the pump during fill. It runs the pump on an approx 15- to 20-second cycle (I haven't timed it exactly) for an approx 3-min drain period (I haven't timed it exactly) with momentary little pulses during the dwells. |
