The dishwaher is intermittantly not cleaning, at all. I am suspicious that the dishwasher is not filling properly with water, or not circulating the water that is there. I don’t hear the water spraying around like I used to, and if I pop the door open mid-cycle I see only a dribble coming out of the spray arms. Often times the soap is still in the dispencer, but the door is open.
I have removed and cleaned the strainer at the bottom. Below the strainer I did find a few "balls" of soap which I removed.
At the end of the cycle the inside is steamy, so I do know that some water is going into the dishwasher, and that the heater is working. Last night it ran for about 4 hours before completeing the cycle.
My wife wants me to toss it, but I am thinking of changing the Water Level Switch…
