After doing a few of these dishwashers for wires fusing to the sound deadening material, I thought I would try some thing....A customers asked if there was anything that could be done to prevent this from happening again..I said if we had some thing that was thin and could take some heat........As I am talking,I look at has dish drying rack and what do I spy??? It was a cutting mat, a kind of nylon/ UHMW material..........So I stuck it behind the wires....Dropped right into a small slot at the door stiffener......

To eliminate:
Musty odor

Slow spin speeds
Intermittent water leaks (from rear of washer)

HE 3X: (1) Teaspoon
Perform a TUB CLEAN CYCLE every (4) months.
