I am having trouble with my dishwasher using all the rinse aid in one cycle. Usually a full rinse aid hopper lasts about 2 months. I have searched high and low on the net and have not found any info. If there is someone here that knows the ins and outs about dishwasher soap dispensers please let me know and I will type out more detail.
Thanks for reading.
Yikes. What happens if you go without the rinse aid. Chances are by the time you pay a dude to fix that problem you could of paid for at least half of another dishwasher. How old is the unit in question?
I'd divorce her……:)
Unit is 2.5 years old. Replacement Part is $90 plus tax. I am definitely not paying someone to come in to fix it. I will do without if it comes to that.
All kinds of instructions on you tube for fixing all kinds of stuff. The guts of these machines are fairly generic so maybe you can dig something up there?
X2 lol our dishwasher has bin broke for a few months... wife complains...err ahh i mean she quite correctly points out every so ofton... i just say, my dish washer is working fine, to which she responds no its getting tired, so i said well i will start shopping for a newer model, maybe one that comes with the snowblower attachment...Quote:

Okay.. it really doesn't make sense that way.. but you get the point.
Anyone oolong for a trade? Occasionally mine works... doesn't do a great job with the cleaning.. but is good for a wash our two a week...
It didn't give any blow... err.. stream cleans though any more

the repair:
to make a long story short, the dishwasher is now in several pieces, and the couch downstairs is now water stained... and me telling her, its her fault for making me work on it, and for putting the couch there didnt seem to help... women... anyways hopefully the new part comes in soon, and the couch drys quickly, cause i may be sleeping on it lol
Cheaper to buy new one, and easier to install then fixing old one.

As soon as their warrantee was up they gave me a name and we called them on the extended warrantee. He was no more help than Samsung. Limped along for another year of poor rinse cycles and finally bought Fridgidaire from the appliance dealer down on the reserve where the prices are cheaper and there is no tax. Couldn't be happier...
They don't make them like that anymore. They don't make ANYTHING like that anymore.Quote:
