skink...

cuz i don't want them to die, and we have cats around here and just too much dangerous shit outside lol... just trust me, they'd end up dying out there..

Are those venus fly traps!?!?!? If so, woah.

yeah they are :)

Thanks, Skink. I'll try taking the water temp and I'll use the vinegar trick, too. I don't think my housekeeper tinkered with the controls on the dishwasher. I'm the only one who ever runs it. She sometimes puts a dish or two in there, but she never turns it on. It may well simply be that the hard water and time have worn out the dishwasher and it's time for a new one. Thanks for your help and patience in trying to help me diagnose the problem!

Exellent!!!

One other thing then... when you first got it did it sound like more water was sloshing around??? if you got hard water or a lot of minerals in it,,,that could be clogging the water jets and making them less effective...

it is very hard to diagnose something like this over the internet,,,LOLz...

try opening it mid cycle and see if there is a lot or little water in it,,,water dripping off the plates or if it's dry... if dry put a couple pots of Hot water in it at each cycle,,, if the dishes are better "No or less" film then we know it is the amount of water that is the prob and there is not to much rinsing going on...
