another issue with the dishwasher, is when it starts to go out, the water pump is one of the first things to go. Once that happens- just get a new dishwasher.

• Verify Air gap or high drain loop
• Verify that the drain line is plumbed into the disposal and both are before the trap.
• See if there is a kill switch on the countertop (some do, some don't)
• Door only opens to 90 degrees-- past 90 degrees and you can have a leak
• Unit is secured to counter
• Door gasketing is in good condition
• Soap dispenser works both manually and during operation
• Verify that the scrubbers work (both upper and lower)
• manually move the dial around to each cycle step--scower, scrub, wash, rinse, rinse, drain, rinse, heat dry
• Check under the unit for leaks

Another thing I do is try and determine the date of manufacture. It's not alwasy necessry as you can pretty much tell from the looks of the dishwasher if it's at or nearing the end of its life.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
