I snapped some pictures of the underside of the dishwasher since I had it disconnected and upside down. It is pretty ingenious how the pump housing is made so that it serves as two pumps depending on which direction the motor is turning. The dishwasher seems to be designed to use as few parts as possible, and for the most part, there isn’t much to go wrong with it. There is a diaphragm that seals the drain outlet when pressurized by recirc water, and moves out of the way when in drain mode. This diaphragm was torn, so water diverted into the drain chamber just reentered the recirc chamber.
It’s sickening to think about what would have happened if the crew had gotten in the truck and drove off without doing a walk around.
MPG whores, check this out. Those that say we have free markets in the US are delusional. Our government does NOT represent the best interest of 1)the people or 2) the environment; The government DOES represent the large corporate interests. Also note: the answer to this problem is NOT more government! Think about it.
