As I put a dish into the dishwasher I thought to myself, “🤔 I haven’t cleaned the filter in a while.” So I took it out and gave it a real good blast with piping hot water from the kitchen sink. I even scraped some of the gunk off with a dish brush to the point where I couldn’t find a single mote of gunk upon careful examination.
Then I proceeded to refill the rinse aid (even though it wasn’t empty) and–as usual–spilled that stuff all over the interior door in the process. Is it even possible to not spill the rinse aid when refilling it? 🤔
My journey didn’t end there, however! I then proceeded to walk the entirety of my home searching for cups and plates that may have been left behind by my children, found several, and it was enough that it nearly filled the dishwasher racks; bottom and top.
The dishwasher has been started; the wait begins.
My dishwasher (and every dishwasher I’ve had or seen) is not even connected to the hot water.
What part of the world are you from? In the US, every dishwasher I’ve seen is connected to hot. If I google it, almost all results say it’s connected to hot, with a couple exceptions mentioning cold water dishwashers. Also that technically it will work but at higher cost and reduced life expectancy
Very interesting! I’m in New Zealand, but the dishwashers are largely global brands like Miele, Bosch, Samsung, LG, etc.
There is no reason they couldn’t be connected to the hot tap. It’s normally connected next to the sink. I have just never seen it done!
