BSH is recalling about 500,000 dishwashers manufactured from May 1999 through July 2005. It is a voluntary recall. See the link below for models affected and how to get a repair. I called today and they are shipping the part directly to me. I got a case number, and the phone number to arrange for a free in home repair when the part arrives.
