![]() ![]() The machine will start surging at the rate of two per second, or roughly related to the rotation of the rack arms. This Jenn-Air (2006 vintage, manufactured by Maytag) generates a 1/2" solid layer of floating suds when Cascade Platinum Paks are used via the dispenser. Jenn-Air JDB2100AWS suds with Cascade Platinum Your input helped me come up with an excellent solution right away. Thanks to all the members here that have posted favorable comments about Cascade Complete Powder. ![]() ![]() The real difference I noticed immediately is that the coffee stains came out of the white Corelle Stoneware mugs, stains that the Platinum Paks always left behind. Since our water is extremely hard here I’m filling the main cup to the max line and also the prewash cup as well, using one of those little plastic measuring cups that come with liquid medicine.Īnd like always, I’m using rinse aid too. To keep it fresh, I poured the entire box into a 2 quart Rubbermaid pitcher, so its sealed against any moister. I found that it cleaned just as well, if not better than the Platinum Paks, and at $5.99 for the large box, compared to $13.00 for the 36 pak Platinum Paks, this will now be my daily driver DW detergent. The next day I bought a box of Cascade Complete Powder and gave it a try. So I ran a cycle with no detergent and an empty tub to see if everything was OK with the machine, and it was. This had never happened before and I was concerned that there was something wrong with the dishwasher. The dishes hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly either and I had to rewash several items. There was a white film all over the clear glass items, and upon further inspection I found the partially dissolved Platinum Pak on the bottom, left side of the tub. When the cycle was complete and I opened the door I immediately knew something wasn’t right. I placed the one Platinum Pak’s in the dispenser, just like always, making sure to run the hot water at the sink until it was really hot before pressing start. I did a load in my Whirlpool WDF330PAHW using the 1 hour cycle with heated dry option, just like always. I’ve been using Cascade Platinum Paks for three years now and have been very pleased up until last Wednesday. Is there a real need to have a three separate liquid compartments (or a need to have separate liquid and powder sections at all.?) Obviously the candy-colors are but I wonder about the rest of it. I do wonder if the three separate sections of liquid attached to the powder are just marketing. ![]() If there are foam suppressors are in the liquid part that is being lost too soon maybe that could be part of the problem. I only run the dishwasher once a week on average so this isn't a big deal for me. Now I usually just listen for the main wash to start and toss the pod in to avoid the problem. When I place a pod that has separate liquid sections in the main compartment before starting the cycle I find that the heat and water leakage melt the pod and the liquid parts partially drain out into the pre-wash. Not sure if this happened with age or if it was always like that. On my lower-end Whirlpool from a few years ago the detergent compartment doesn't seal well at all. I always use salt and rinse aid anyway.Īnyhow - not wishing to thread hijack - yes OP - Fairy / Cascade Platinum do over foam in my opinion, though I respectfully acknowledge the experience of those who have not had the same experience. Where to go from here?!! I don't go in LIDL (thanks for the recommendation Rolls) so may just go back to the old fashioned `unwrappable' Essential Waitrose. I can't stand to hear a dishwasher choking when it should be merrily squirting away -) I was actually wondering what the alarming vibrating noise was - worktop was all a tremble - remembered dishwasher was on - ear to door - ah yes. It looks as though Finish are tweaking something across the brands and it ain't working.įor this reason I bought Fairy Platinum on the last shop but had forgotten about the hideous suds. However, recently these have also had a slating on the Ocado reviews for the same reason and I notice the old `New and improved' logo on the packaging. Moved to Quantum (when on offer!) and all was good. I had regularly used the cheaper Finish ones (not Quantum - think they are just called `all in 1') but took a pack to work just for coffee cups a few months back because they started leaving the dishwasher and contents with a white coating. ![]()
