- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

A: I had the same problem too after a few weeks of install. I find that gently pulling out the middle rack all the way out helps to reset the drawers and allowing it to slide all the way back so that I can close the door.
Q: Is this unit supposed to ship with the sound insulation? They forgot it and it’s LOUD.
A: There should be a thick sound insulation blanket over the top and sides of the washer, our washer is unbelievably QUIET-much more quiet than dishwasher we’ve ever owned, including Bosch and Kitchen Aid.

Q: Can you place plastic items on the bottom rack, or will the dry boost melt plastic items?
A: I put plastic cover for covering food in the microwave on the bottom rack with no problem.
A: The green light will light after cycle is complete. The red light will light if there is some sort of error in addition to an error code being displayed where the cycle time would normally be displayed. As far as the other light I dont know since I have never seen that one.

A: No, but it does have a "night dry" function which circulates air if the dishwasher will remain closed for hours after cycle completion. Dishes and plastics come out dry and fresh.

Fantastic dishwasher
This is the quietest dispatcher I've ever owned and the dishes come out very clean. The only questionable performance area is the third tray at the very top. I love that there is a light that turns on when you open the door like a refrigerator.

Great Dishwasher Overall
The top rack comes in handy for spatulas, etc. & the inside light on this dishwasher is useful. It does a good job of cleaning the dishes & spots are not an issue if you choose the dry boost x3 cycle & use a rinse agent. It’s not as quiet while running as our previous Kitchen Aid. You can definitely hear it while it’s running, but certainly not loud either. It has a really sleek appearance & the fingerprint- proof finish is great. The handle matches my LG French door refrigerator perfectly & the dishwasher controls are nicely hidden when the door is closed. A tiny green light appears when the cycle is complete.
