Hi, Sara,
I should clarify that the only reason I asked Paula to do this work is
that she was already scheduled to come to my house for some other work.
She's typically so busy, that unless it's an emergency, there's a
multi-month wait to get some of her time. She's worth the wait but when
I've needed something done right away that doesn't need her skill, I
have opted for someone else.

Thank you to all who sent me info and advice re: repairing my
dishwasher. Apologies for taking so long (7 weeks) to reply. I
wanted to wait until I actually had the problem solved so I could
report on the results. But washing dishes by hand was much easier
than troubleshooting or otherwise getting it fixed. So I didn't get
around to working on the problem until this week. I ended up having
my handy person (Paula Robinson) look at it when she was here for
some other work. She's the person who installed it. The problem was
a small piece of plastic that was jamming a rotor of some kind.
Below is the info I received.

_**__*Troubleshooting advice:*_
* Does it drain if you reset it? If so, then the drain is fine and
something else is the problem.Possible causes -- pump failure,
faulty electrical connection, timer failure (needed to initiate
drain cycle).
* Dishwasher comes apart for regular cleaning. Check filter inside
the bottom. Needs to be taken out and cleaned periodically. It
just twists out. (several people)
* Try to clear the drain -- I did remove/clean the easily
accessible parts at the bottom, probably what people meant by
clean filter/regular cleaning. I did not do any further taking
apart of things or try to access the drain pipe to check for
blockage.
* Check dishwasher's instruction manual for directions on how to
unclog various filters and connections on the bottom of the
dishwasher -- If you don't have the manual, it is probably
available on line.
* Do Google search for the make, model, and error message.
* 10 year old dishwasher is old. An appliance person can take a
look and tell you whether it's worth fixing or not. A nice, quiet
Bosch can be obtained for about $600-800 depending on what
features you want.
