your experience matches mine pretty well. outstanding! the 3rd rack really gives this dishwasher more space then one would expect it to, the ability to shift drinking glasses out of the 2nd rack offers room for larger items that would otherwise be handwashed if the first rack fills up. | ||

I don't believe I have heard a whining noise from the 3rd rack, but the dishwasher occasionally makes a "fart" sound which I believe is the diverter valve moving. we use cascade powder. | ||

my experience with Finish products I've had sudsing issues with Finish products before. I like Cascade for the cleaning power and smell. The suds level varies in my Kenmore equivalent to Bosch. I'm currently using Cascade Complete in the citrus breeze which doesn't suds. | ||

Whirlpool-made dishwashers, all the way back to the pressure sensor KUDS25 will activate the “medium soil” level of the cycle program if “Hi Temp” is selected. So you got two pre-rinses because of that.
ProWash will almost always do 1 prewash, also. Normal, to save water, will go right to MainWash with no options and soil is light enough. Even with moderate soils. Normal has a pretty high threshold to kick up to a medium or high soil sense program change. | ||

normal cycle on my Kenmore The normal cycle on my Kenmore would do the same thing. I'm quite certain that if I select turbo clean, it would add another prerinse. | ||

It occurred to me this evening a wish--when KitchenAid brings out new models or design, I want the higher end models to hhave inline heating rather than the heating element at the bottom. The top two models for GE Profile & Cafe lines have inline heating. The last dishwasher Frigilux bought from GE before he sold his house had inline heating. He really liked it. I think the KA design should devise a way to heat circulated air with the inline heater for indirect drying.

Dishwasher heating elements
It doesn’t make any difference whether the elements in the bottom of the tank or built into the pump assembly.
And when it’s built into the pump assembly, it’s very costly and difficult to replace it also often causes pump damage because the pump housing is plastic and it has a heating element in it when something goes wrong. KitchenAid, along with every other major dishwasher sold in the US has had plenty of problems in the last decade. I’m glad they have not done this one additional troublesom some thing. Not having the heating element in the bottom, eliminates the possibility of having a really effective drying system to that can get the job done more quickly. John | ||

Doubtful I highly doubt that would happen. Whirlpool wouldn't have the ability to have true drying cycles as John said. Though, I'm sure if they raised the final rinse to 150ºF and used the fan to assist in drying, the machine would dry better than most Bosch machines, not including Crystal Dry units. | ||

heated dry So how long does it take with heated dry added? If I had this dishwasher, that's what I'd typically use. | ||

I believe ours is around 3 hours usually w/prodry. it depends, it adjusts timing based on soil | ||
