Hi -

I have a Kenmoore dishwasher that is 9-10 years old. Lately it's doing
a sh1tty job of washing the dishes.

Poll Questions:

Should I even bother to have it looked at?

Or just go buy a new one?

Thanks....

Mike

P.S I refilled the Jet Dry,etc....it didn't really help...

New one. Quieter, more efficient, quieter, did I mention they are quiet
now?

My last dishwasher lasted 25 years (me 12) + (three self repairs).

Try changing detergents, cleaning thoroughly, and checking the filters.

Although I live alone, mine has lasted 27 years, with only one repair
(a chicken bone was caught in the air break, but if you clean your
dishes first, that won't happen.)

I understand that in Iraq, if the engine on a truck breaks, the
private contractors just burn the truck up, and bill the US. And I
knew someone who would buy a new suit when the suit he had needed
cleaning. They are probably right that repair and maintenance are
overrated, but I don't have the money they do.

I've stayed in the kitchen while my dishwasher works and it wasn't
that bad, but it's also not hard to leave the kitchen. It keeps me
from eating too much.

What's wrong with the cleaning? All the dishes or only some?

Make sure the detergent has enzymes in it, they clean much better than
detergents without them.

Probably not worth bothering with if you have to pay for a service call.
Meantime, check the filter screen to be sure it is not clogged, check the
spray arms for clogs. It could also be the pump is not putting out the
pressure is used to and having it replaced is probably more than half the
cost of a new DW.

They do seem to weaker after many years. Mine was over 15 years and no
matter what I did, it was just not as good as news. Even the most modest
priced units today will clean very well and will be fairly quiet. If you go
up higher, they are very quiet and use less water than the older models.

I switch detergents and dishes come out much cleaner... now using those
little "Cascade" nuggets. There not
called nuggets but they look like nuggets. They contain two cleaners, Dawn
and regular Cascade powder...

now can someone help me get out ring-around-the-collar??
