What's wrong with my dishwasher?
It's not doing the job like it used to. Food residue on a bunch of the dishes after it finishes. Even with the hot presoak cycle.

I'll just call maintenance to come deal with it, but was wondering what the problem might be.

1. The distributor belt is probably alternating miserably with the resuscitating pronator. Try
standing on your right foot with your other leg tucked up behind you and spitting
over your left shoulder three times. Always works for me!

2. If your washer has a "waste disposal-type" unit in it
that is probably the problem...they get clogged, and then food residue won't properly clear the unit and, voila'....you end up with micr-ground particles on your dishes.

Just a possibility, but it is what happened to ours...pretty easy to fix, depending on how yours is set up.

5. Nooo, my couches were free!
They're from the in-laws. Used, but not much. Very good condition :D

But I hear you...I just need to get off my ass and call maintenance. :P
