Thanks Simplex. I will drop them an inquiry. I so hate looking for appliances. Can't afford the top lines and am afraid of the mid-lines not being much better than what I had.

Christmas is the worst time to have an appliance go bad. Gonna try to fix it in the morning. Figure I can't make it worse.

I used to think that way; not true.

Well, if it is already busted.....

Yeah, I thought that before I bought my new drier. This was after I put $140 worth of parts in the old one and it still didn't fix it.

Wife wants me to call a repairman. I hate going that route, because by the time it is all said and done you have spent at least a third of what a new one would have cost ya.

I don't waste time with parts, If I can't find the simple fix I trash it.

...At least.

Trust me; one can always bust things worse then they already are. I speak from personal experience.

You'll spend no less than $200 to have the guy come out and tell you it's borked. Then he's going to want to replace the pump, which isn't a cheap part. You'll quickly have given him $300 or more. If this is the dishwasher that came with your house you can buy one just like it for $200.

Wash dishes by hand for awhile.

Just get another Dishwasher after Christmas.

Pump kinda expensive or front control unit not bad.

Original ditch it and go with a new unit. (last years model might be on sale).
