Question:
I saw a previous posting in this same group where someone recommended that the water level may not be high enough and that a low water level could cause glass etching and food particle deposits. I have both but I always thought that glass scratching was inherent with dishwashers. His suggestion was to replace the water valve. However, is there not a way to tell if the water level is correct before changing the valve?

Answer: This model does not seem to have a filter. When I bought it the claim to fame was an in line food grinder which eliminated the need for a filter or disposal. Hence, the very tiny food partials (I think?). But, keeping with that thought I had read somewhere, as I search for this answer, that machines with built in food grinders do have filters (to keep the food from re-circulating) and then must back-wash these filters. Do you know anything about this? Is the back-wash mechanism blocked. I am pretty good mechanically but I could not figure out how to get into the pump/food-grinder to see if anything was blocking it.

The big mesh thing in the bottom. See it right u nder the spray arms? Take it out and clean it well. There maybe an accumulationf crud blocking it and cutting down on water circulation. Thee whould also be another piece towards the front that just pulls out. Check to see if this is blocked with gunk from the dishes.
