We recently installed a new dishwasher and now the hot water pressure in the dishwasher and the kitchen faucet is slow. The cold water pressure is fine. Both the hot & cold pressure throughout the house is fine. Please advise how we can resolve the problem. Thanks

How did you dtermine that the washer has poor pressure? How long does it take to fill for a cycle? I would remove the faucet cartrudge and clear it of dberis. However, the washer taps into the line long before the faucet, did you use a Tee or what to make the tap?

For the washer, we ran a cycle on cold, then hot. When the hot water cycle finished, the dishes just did not appear as clean as when we ran a cycle on cold water. We just assumed the pressure was poor like the faucet as the hose if connected to the same pipe

How did you connect water supply for DW ? Is the valve open all the way ? How about hot water supplies to the sink: isn't it kinked ?

This does not add up for me, there is no cold supply to a dishwasher, you can't run a cold cycle. How on earth did you connect hot and cold to a machine that has one inlet??
