I think my Kitchenaid KDS-17 has been invaded by gremlins. The past 2 months, the dryer blower has been working sporadically. The heating element works every time but the blower only works about every 3rd time I run the dishwasher. The first time it happened, I checked to be sure no wires had come loose and that the fan was spinning freely but didn't find any issues. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks for the reply, John.

I did oil the bearings about a year ago when we first got the dishwasher. I was able to find a NOS motor on ebay for under $30 so I'm going to go ahead and replace it.
