It often results in a worn out rear bearing or a broken spider bracket. When that happens, you’ll need a new washer. It’s a $700 to $1,500 mistake. To prevent it: Avoid washing bathroom mats .

In my 30 years of appliance repair, I’ve seen many dishwashers not cleaning well and not   melting the soap because the water wasn’t heating properly. The 120-degree water from your home’s  water heater  generally isn’t hot enough for your dishwasher to do its job.
