The obvious solution is to NOT return it but to find the problem and fix
it or have it fixed. Do your really want to drag it out again?

I get your points, but I don't agree. I have a good amount of experience
with appliances, and it's not something obvious. Needless to say I'd
prefer it just WORK, and I thought I'd post on the outside chance someone
had the same experience with this model and knew of an answer, but pulling
out a dishwasher's not that big a deal. I'd rather return it now (exchange
it, they can pick up this one when they drop off the new one) then piddle
around with it until they are less inclined to just do an exchange. Frankly
after looking at this thing again, it may be a design flaw. There's very
little space between the water level & the top of the tub. I even tried
canting it backwards slightly to lower the water level in the front, same
deal. I see what you mean about how often it's opened during the cycle, but
I've owned more dishwashers than I can remember living various places & this
it the 1st one I've encountered that did this. It soaks the insulation,
which will get mildewed, cause rust etc. A dishwasher can last 10 years or
so, I'm not getting stuck with a $600 lemon for that long.
