Keep this in mind when trying to maintain older dishwashers: The cost of
dealing with the results of a water leak can greatly exceed the price of a new
dishwasher.
The year before last, our mediocre GE dishwasher decided to spew a couple of
hundred gallons of water down into our finished basement. After replacing the
flooring and ceiling, we bought a fancy high-end dishwasher that has a drip pan
and leak detector circuit that shuts off the water if leakage is detected. In
addition, whenever the dishwasher is not actually filling, a solenoid valve at
the far end of the hose (where it is connected to the plumbing) is closed,
preventing the risk of flooding from a failed hose.
