The dishwasher fills with water and goes through the motions then empties out, but never washes. I have very hard water and have trouble keeping the calcium from bulding up on the washer arms, etc. I have to take the washer arms out and soak them in CLR to keep the holes clear. Any suggestions, or is it "new" dishwasher time?

Click on your model number in this thread for a schematic breakdown of your machine/parts and order of placement.
