If the DW is not that old, you might have a claim against the manufacturer, even if you are leery of filing an insurance claim.

While I typically do failure analysis work for Insurance companies and attorneys, usually on claims over $100K, we have started doing more and more work for homeowners on product failures. We issue a report, and to date, not a single customer has failed to recover their losses in small claims court when it was a product defect. Of course, in many cases, abuse and or installation error can be an issue.

If you need some more info, feel free to send me a message. I put our two websites below.

Thank you!

After some discussion with someone qualified to diagnose the problem, (rather than just me kicking the dishwasher and muttering, "Damn broken thing!") it turns out that at least one of the issues is the way it's hooked up to our garbage disposal. The disposal tends to allow guck to siphon back into it. UGH.

I'm over it. I personally can't wait to haul the carcass of the DW out onto my driveway so I can go Office Space on it with a sledgehammer. I've already got happy little plans for that valuable space- I could put some canning supplies there, or put some of my oversized cookware on shelves....that DW is DEAD to me. DEAD.
