Not cleaning dishes Leaking water Won't drain Loud grinding noise Won't start Soap dispenser not opening White film on dishes Door won't latch

Half the dishwasher is under the sink

"Won't drain" is the complaint most often solved without touching the dishwasher. A new disposal ships with a knockout plug in its dishwasher port; leave it in and the machine holds its water. Every installation sheet has the drain hose rise to the underside of the counter before it drops to the disposal or the sink tailpiece; a hose that sagged or was rerouted lets sink water run back into the tub. Only after those are cleared does the drain pump come into question, usually glass or a seed jammed against its impeller.

Not cleaning is the opposite: usually inside the machine. The circulation pump drives water through the spray arms; when it is worn or blocked, pressure falls and the arms barely turn. The quieter cause is temperature. The wash wants water near 120°F, and a distant water heater delivers a cold first fill unless the tap is run beforehand.

Do not blame hard water. MWRA supply is very soft, about one grain per gallon, and even Cambridge's own supply is only slightly hard. A white film on glasses here is far more likely excess detergent than scale, and the fix is less detergent, not a descaler.
