I pulled out the dishwasher to see what kind of connections I needed
to replace with a new one - like if some asshole welded on the water
inlet line. Nope - copper tube screw-on w/hardwired electrical.

Then I see this little pamphlet sticking out from on top of one of
motors and I unfold it and the first thing I see is "If the motor
just hmmmmmmmmm's.:". Oh shit, you mean I may be able to fix this
damned thing?

I reached down into the sump and pulled outg a piece of plastic that
obviously been there for 20+ years, now with washed smooth edges
from water and detergent erosion. I think it was part of an orange
peeler, but not sure.

But the real culprit was probably the semi-rigid plastic EKG lead
that blocked the grinder/drain intake.

So good as new now! But I kinda wanted a new dishwasher, but I'll
save the $700 and live with this one for another 33 years. Probably
just go buy a bunch of domains I'll never use instead.

And last year when my shower drain was plugged I pulled out one of
these style EKG leads with a coat hanger. These foam ones are a
bitch and they hide them on your body in places you can't see.

Moral of the story is, these EKG leads will kill you! And why do
they hide a service pamphlet inside the dishwasher motor assembly
and not reference it in the user manual? ****ers.
