KitchenAID dishwasher nightmare haha

i was foolish enough to buy a used dishwasher many years ago, installed it…did nt work. sat for 3 years finally with the help of this Forum…replaced the fuse in the instrument panel…and YEAH it worked!

well i can t say it washed dishes very good, coffee stains still on cups and soap residue on glasses.

just noticed small amount of water out of bottom of washer…any explanation for this?

also i d like to clean out the bottom pan ( i dont know the name but the part that spins around) there is a elevated knob it seems to turn to take it apart but it looks kind of delicate…do you use pliers to do this because it is not feasible to remove it by hand? thank you !

Here are your parts

If you mean there is a leak then you will have to locate waht is leaking. A small mirror and a flashlight can help here.

The manual should help you disassemble and clean/check the pump assembly.
