Well, about 11-12 years ago, I bought an entire kitchen from someone. The dishwasher was up at bat. I figured everything plastic or rubber was dry rotted so I bought all the rubber seals and grinder blade. Replaced it all and set it up. Right away, the water relay thing started spewing water. Figured the water froze In it and cracked. I replaced that as well. Now my Kitchen Aid stainless steel unit is working like new.. Cant even hear it.....
