Apparently, I have The Dishwasher Straight From The Zombie Apocalypse. It just won't die, but rather, keeps dragging on in a half-dead state. Tomorrow will be the 4th service call I've had to make on the stupid thing, and it's only 4 months old!!!
The company, thinking they could save money, just told me they would send a part and that I could easily fix it myself. Which is fine. Except that they sent the wrong part--not once, but 3 successive times after that. Finally, on the fourth try they actually sent a box with 4 random pieces, including the 2 that I needed. If I only had a motor, I'd have had enough parts to build a second dishwasher in my garage. But something else was wrong, and a repairman wound up having to come out anyway, and then missed the appointment and had to come on another day. It's annoying as heck because they'll say, "Ok, we'll be there Thursday anywhere between 8 and 4", and your entire day is shot waiting for someone who may or may not actually show up.
Now the stupid water isn't draining from the bottom of the unit. Now if the water was actually clean, I suppose I could use it as a koi pond or something... (I could just set the washer to "steam" and I'd have dinner in 20 minutes... KIDDING! KIDDING!) So I wonder if this time they're going to tell me to pick up a wrench and just fix it myself again. Which I wouldn't mind, as long as they gave me the right instructions this time.
Personally, I'd rather take my chances with the zombies. At least I wouldn't have to worry about them not showing up at my house.

I want you to stop typing on your keyboard and look at your hands. Those are the best dish washers you got! No service calls etc 
But I generally wear rubber gloves when working with water, so you couldn't tell by looking at my hands (instead, they're full of paper cuts and long scars instead--from years of box cutters, shelves with sharp edges, along with stacking, and unpacking boxes and glass at work.)
Where are those zombies when I need them. Zombie minions... now that would come in handy.
P.S. Just read your last post--I've never had a piece of dishware that was that dirty, with the exception of maybe a baked-on casserole pan, but enough hand-scrubbing, done in cycles, over a day or two, brought it back from the dead.
