Alright all you fix-it types! Dishwasher Woes

[Thornless]

Did you take a toothpick to all the little holes in the arms that the water comes out of?

If you can remove the arms easily then soak them in vinegar overnight then poke out all the holes in the arms and maybe use
a garden hose to flush them out.

I'll give that a shot when I can clear out the sink

Vinegar works pretty good, but if you have a serious calcium problem then you need to pull out the tough cleaner.

This stuff works 10 times better than vinegar.


And as far as your water softener goes, are you sure it just doesn't need to be flushed out and have the salt replaced? There isn't much to go wrong with a water softener.

The softener is on bypass right now... the water here is super hard. We've done CLR once or twice I think... but not since my Step-Dad got all the deposits off.
