Can a dishwasher still clean as well if the water pressure is

uses tap water pressure? I am thinking of how clothes washers
sometimes rinse soap off by injecting tap water during the end of a
drain cycle.

The problem is it's copper feed pipe was severely kinked, and is too
inaccesible to fix easily. The dishwasher doesn't clean too well. tks

the problem with dishwashers is that they fill by time only. If there's
a restriction, then not enough water is admitted.


My dishwasher fills until a float cuts power to the fill valve. The
cycle timer will eventually cut power, but then the dishwasher would not
have filled enough.
