I'm excited for the new one to come. I'm going to be picking out a Water Softener this week as well. Need to do some research on them. Will probably be using potasium vs salt though.

I'm fully aware that I'm exchanging it for a very similarly built model. Since I have all whirlpool appliances in my kitchen, I want to keep with Whirlpool for asthetic and resale reasons if I ever sold my house. The dishwasher didn't fail because of a design issue, it's because of the water...

Mark, Thanks - however I made out with it for only $375 from AJ Madison and got free shipping on the deal - no sales tax and have $100 in rebates too. MSRP for this is 699. I of course would rather of had a Miele but I'm kind of funny when it comes to my kitchen appliances. They need to be...

Replacement Dishwasher Ordered After I took it out to the garage and ran a few test washes, there is a leak in the vent seal that was apparent when I first took the door cover off when I took the dishwasher apart. It had a buildup of what looked like dried egg yolky substance, so I thought oh...

Heater holes and wash pack sealing surfaces super clean before reinstall.

Thermistor (Black Tip) and Soil Sensor lower bulb and eye I guess...

Cap (Yes I discharged it before tinkering)

All clean

Danger my ass... more like danger to my wood floor!

Greg, A water softener is definately on the top of my list. It has been for some time because I hate descaling the shower. The hard water here is pretty bad in my opinion, and after I clean the shower with scrubbing bubbles, I have to clean it again with Lime Away to get rid of the hard water...

John, I flush out my water heater about every year, and so far I just get some calcium deposits from it. Next time I drain it, I will take out the anode to look at it's condition. The water heater is only 4 years old. Here is a link to the part I need from RepairClinic.com - very affordable...

New parts are on order, and I've also ordered sound insulation that goes inside the front panel and toe-kick that came on more expensive models. There is already sound insulation on the sides of the dishwasher but I have it removed in this photo. I also took the drain pump and soil sensor out...

I believe some of what built up in the valve inlet contributed to it's failure. If any of you have Whirlpool or Kenmore dishwashers, the front of the valve does come off with 4 screws and you can clean out the little filter just like on a washing machine. This was after 4 years of use.

I think I can get replacement flooring, this is standard size and Maple. The entire floor has to be sanded and refinished though... after 4 years of being installed. Sigh!

Beautiful...

1 day after... with dishwasher removed.

Here is the floor about 2 hours after having a fan on it... the finish had lifted and flaked off...

Well I got home from work on Friday and long story short I went to dry my hands with paper towels which sit on the holder above where the dishwasher is, and my socks got wet. I freaked out and for a good reason. My 2007 Whirlpool DU1055XTSB2 was dripping out from the bottom of the door. It...
