I thought my dishwasher had finally broken down. It had been deteriorating for months now and then finally it just didn't run. As a last ditch effort, I called my appliance guy to see if it could be saved. I didn't have much hope.
It turned out that the problem was simple: My dishwasher was plugged up. It just needed to be cleaned.
Solution? Dump one gallon of VINEGAR into the bottom of dishwasher with one gallon of hot water. Let it soak overnight and run through a hot cycle in the morning.
If you notice your dishes are not getting cleaned very well, it's time to clean your dishwasher with vinegar. Easy!
