New Dishwasher

So, I'm pretty sure we are going to need a new dishwasher.  It's been smelling funky for a little bit, the other day there was some weird steam, and now it's leaking.  Any suggestions for a place to buy one .. I know there are a million choices, but just thought I'd check to see if anyone has anything good/bad to say about anyplace in the DSM area. Thanks !

    If it's smelling and leaking it could just be seriously clogged with food particles?

    We had this happen with our dishwasher a few months ago.  It was clogged with food particles but also need a new seal.  We went online, ordered the seal for $10 and DH put it in (really simple to do).  Magically, the dishwasher works great now and it was a lot less expensive than buying a whole new dishwasher.

    We had this same problem this spring - one thing we learned from the Dishwasher Repair guy is to run Dishwasher Magic (@ Target) once a month.  It has helped with the clogged areas.

    Are you doing anything special for the clogged food particles issue?  Ours runs much better - but this is still a minor issue.

    Since our dishwasher and garbage disposal are connected somehow, we found simply running the garbage disposal right before the dishwasher or at the beginning of its cycle for just a few moments really helped suck all of the food particles out of the dishwasher.  We haven't had any more problems but I would maybe look into the Dishwasher Magic stuff if you still have issues.
