Dale, Thanks, I did all of that. Since the unit is 13 years old the best fix is replacement. It is not worth putting any money into it. I think I originally paid about $279 for the unit. That is also why I picked another Maytag. After 13 years this is the first problem. Toying with it I found that it is not being completely drained between cycles. By the way, you sounded great on the bhm show.Lenny, Please visit my home page http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ It is motivational, educational, humorous and has a lot of resources.

Sometimes a bit of bone or other debris gets stuck in the holes and blocks the water jets from cleaning. You may be able to pull it through with tweezers but more likely you will end up pushing it back into the wash arm so will have to check it from time-to-time until it either breaks down and disappears or shifts to a larger jet and shoots through. Sometimes too, debris gets trapped in the screening and doesn't all get away down the drain so it remains for redistribution next wash. Remove the lower rack and have a good look around the drain. some have a screw in the center of the screening device which will allow you to remove it and allow you to inspect and clear it thoroughly if this is a problem. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: lenny McHugh To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 4:18 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] dish washer not cleaning I think she uses jet dry or there is a drying agent in the cleaning product. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Freiss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 2:15 PM Subject: re: [BlindHandyMan] dish washer not cleaning one word. Jet Dry It is a liquid drying additive that you should have a dispenser for in the door of the dishwasher. It I think changes the surface tension of the water and does not allow the little particles to stick. We use it and it works like a charm. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "handyman-blind" <[email protected] >Date sent: Wed, 30 Apr 2008 13:04:35 -0400 >Subject: [BlindHandyMan] dish washer not cleaning >Hi All, >I have a 1995 Maytag dish washer that is not cleaning.
