Hi NG

Repaired an old dishwasher (Kitchenaid Imperial 21) that was in the
house we moved into. Noted that it was connected to the cold water supply.

Have heard that it should be connected to hot.. Problem here is that
there isnt very good pipe lagging between the HWS and machine itself. It
would end up just warming the pipes! I note that machine also has a
water heater.

What has been your experience? Is it worth using hot water at the input?
Does the detergent for example not work too well and lower temps.

Cheers Bob
