Hey there Donna...Glad that fix worked out for you. I see another person from Massachusetts on here...yay!! You know that there is a garbage disposer by ISE that can be installed for people that have a septic system. It has an enzyme cartridge that injects a small amount of the bugs into the waste flow so your septic tank will effectively digest the food. My sister has one and has not had any issues with her septic system. I will go to ISE's website and dig up a linkie.

Generally, powders outclean liquids. However, Cascade Complete liquid is the ONLY one that is really good. That should do! |

Ed, let our new member know just how versatile the 18's cycles are! Explain to her what each one does and how effective they can be. I don't know how only one cycle can be used when there is a nice selection to choose from! |

Well, if she scrapes so thoroughly there's nothing left, then light soil would wash a load just fine lol. Eddy, if you don't have a user manual with the cycle sequence charts that oculd be scanned and posted, I probably could dig around in my memory and pretty much construct something in words for her that would tell her the sequences of every cycle.

Hi, you should replace the drain impeller and seal assembly, it comes in a neat little kit Pt# 240366, this Pt# will probably change to a WP Pt#.
These were great DWs, but they are complicated and because of its age you really have to keep after these seemingly small problems if you want to keep this DW very long. A leak like this can destroy all kinds of parts under the machine if not caught and fixed quickly.
Good Luck, John L. |
