Another member and I are talking about both running “the peanut butter test” (peanut butter smeared in 3-5 glasses) in our dishwashers on the same day, then comparing the results. He has a newer Bosch (and a KDS17), I have a 4 year old Miele.

My questions are:
1. What cycle would you suggest using for this test?
~ Normal
~ Heavy Duty / Intensive Wash
~ Auto / Sensor Wash***

2. Should we leave the peanut buttered glasses out to “cure”.... before washing them?
~ A day?
~ A few days?
~ A week?

*** I’m pretty sure of what the outcome will be if I use the “Sensor Wash” program. A little over a week ago I washed 3 jars, Two of them (cheese spread and raspberry preserves) I specifically left sitting out with the lid off for a week, the third jar (Cheese whiz) sat out 4 days. I ran “sensor wash” (3.5 hrs). Once finished everything looked good at first glance, but shortly after and to my horror, I realized the detergent dispenser didn’t open! This was due to “user error” as I had loaded a tray in the wrong location which blocked the dispenser lid and kept it from opening (D’oh!). So yes, it got everything “that clean” without any detergent.

The DW Peanut Butter Test

combo52's profile picture

Is an easy test for any properly functioning DW whether it is an older fast cycle KA or a newer longer cycle DW.

 

It should not matter if the PB is fresh or has dried on for weeks.

 

We suggest this test for our customers often to find out whether their DW is operating properly mechanically when they have washability complaints so we can figure out if the DW is broken or if they have water temperature or detergent or cycle selection issues or even loading problems.
