18 cycles, oh my O.K. fellas, let's see I have 8 buttons. It's rumbling away right now as a matter of fact. I know, it's LOUD, but, y'all know about football sunday, no? Plus, I can't wait till bedtime, because the plumber will be here in the a.m. so no water then. Ok. Lived here 7 yrs. Only...

You won't believe this.... I just got home and it is now fixed! At the upper right hand corner, and just to the right of black rubber switch you referred me to, is an "L" bracket that secures the machine to the counter top. The screw to that bracket had worked it's way out just enough to...
