I would first start and run about 3 things of dishwasher magic through it with noting else in there on the longest cycle. Go to the hardware and buy some real T.S.P. store.hamiltonmarine.com/browse.c... . That link will show you the real stuff ,When I use dishwasher magic I fill the wash cups with T.S.P. which is what made old dishwasher detergents clean so well softens the water and will work wonders. That part might still be pretty easy to find I am not sure though.Some folks never clean the inside water distribution and greases can get everywhere.

Ok ordered the part and he gave me the gasket for $6 and change. I still don't know how to force a drain cycle. I ordered a drill powered pump on Amazon so I wouldn't have to bail it out. I'll take apart the bottom tomorrow when that comes. |

a wet and dry vac, or even a carpet cleaners suction can work wonders for helping you empty a machine, or even clear out a hose or clog.....
just hook to the end that attaches to the sink side, and with the unit unplugged, reach in and pull on the plunger to open the drain line..... can count how many times this trick has come in handy for working on dishwashers and washers... |
