The flickering heat dry light seemed to just be the light itself.. It flicked on and off throughout the cycle but the dry cycle worked just fine. All the dishes came clean, shiny and dry. I even used the Turbo zone feature on a burned on baking sheet and everything came out clean. So far, seems to be an excellent dishwasher.
Re Covid19- My mom for sure already had it, long before it was confirmed in our state. Several other people at her church also had it. Had all the symptoms and a nasty cough that lasted a month. I got a touch of it shortly thereafter but not as severe, same symptoms, same cough. We did our part to slow the spread and we are getting back to our lives. I spent a month wearing gloves and masks and sanitizing my hands until they hurt, no more. I'm not going to kill myself with depression over a virus with a 99+ percent survival rate, which I have most likely already had. I was also exposed to the virus back in early April through work, and never had any signs/symptoms. We don't know how many days we have left on this earth so we are choosing to return to life rather than live in fear. Your mileage may vary.
