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


mine is connected to HOT water and it does have a
water preheater in it
