our dishwasher started making a grinding noise yesterday during the initiak washing cycle. it still ran thru the cycle and the dishes came out clean BUT, it sounded like gears that were grating on each other, fairly loud, I was surprised that it didn't seize up.
Is there a way we can look into it, and see if we find an obstruction or broken bekt or gear ?
Is there site for the operating manual (which I no longer have).
Can you run this machine on the 'heat cycle'only ? i figure I can wash dishes by hand, stacking them in the DW, and run the heat to dry them before putting them away.
thanks for the help. We live 80+ miles from the nearest repairman.
