Default SC help needed
Get from trip today and learn the dishwasher is broke (wife is fine)!!
It turns on and cycles but the dishes are not getting clean. Any shade tree dishwasher mechanics out there??? Need help soon since dishwasher #2 doesn't do a good job all the time and I need consistency.

$5,000.00 that thing better do more than do dishes, it better give happy endings.

Mine had something jammed in the bottom and wouldn't rotate for a while couldn't figure it out til i dug around and found pieces of what must have been a hanlde to a knife or something that fell off.

Was that the primary or the secondary dishwasher?

We had to remodle the whole kitchen just to fit one. This include moving the door and all new cabinets. Nevermind me let's find Raymond a solution, I can't see those insurance hands doing dishes!

Is your soap door not opening? Have you tried one of those cascade tabs that you just put in the bottom of the dishwasher?

Is the water heating up to the machines preset temp? You reckon it is actually going through a complete cycle, meaning the spinning water dispensers are turning or turning for the complete time needed?
Also, how old is he dishwasher? The newer energy saver models require the blue jet dry stuff in the door for efficiency and cleaning capability.

Seriously, ours started doing the same thing. The more I tried and thought, the less it worked! Got a new one from Lowes for$350. Swapped it out in under 30 minutes. All is well now...dishes are clean and, my wife shut up...for a few days!
