I hope someone searching for why their dishwasher suddenly stops working
can find this solution here, thanks to all of you!

If there is a sudden build-up of Sediment in your Hot-water line,
Replace the Dip-Tube in your Hot-Water Tank !!

She already replaced the whole water heater, that's why the sediment got
knocked out of the pipes.

Thanks James Sweet,

Yes, when I replaced the water heater, not only did the dishwasher stop
working, but, every single faucet in the house stopped working, as did the
shower and the tub.

The only one left is the tub because I can't figure out WHERE the screen
would be on the tub (the output is a full inch in diameter!).

Where would the tub filter be?

Usually there isn't a filter. Is it a single or three knob? Usually you can
remove the whole cartridge from the valve and clean it out.

Hi James,
Here is a picture of the tub.

It is a "single".

Are you saying the filter is behind the hot/cold selector knob?

Naw, the whole mess gets clogged up. You need to disassemble it (turn
the water OFF first). If it's more than a few years old--or even if it
isn't, it wouldn't hurt--get a 'kit' of replacement parts from your
local dealer first. Usually there's nothing to maintaining these 'one
handle' units (not familiar with your particular one) besides
disassembly/reassembly with new rubber anyway. Save you the trouble
down the road. Take a picture, or the old parts for exact replacements.

Once you have it apart, turn on the water slightly to flush it out.
Turn it off again and reassemble after cleaning and replacing the old
rubber/plastic that came with the new kit.

After what you've been through, this should be a piece of cake....

Yep, that looks very much like the Moen my mom's place has, I just replaced
the leaking cartridge in that a couple months ago. Remove the handle, remove
the fascia, and then there's a clip you pull out and the cartridge pulls
out. Turn the water supply off first!
