The above pictured countertop dish drainer was bought for use during a two week power outage, after we suffered a hurricane. The useful little drainer was packed away for use during future outages. J had to go dig it out and we have (poor us) been washing dishes manually. On Friday, our (almost) two year old dishwasher had refused to even try to empty itself . We had to bail the soapy water as if it were a rowboat without floorboards.
It sat, dry and silent, over the weekend. Evidently, it was considering the threat of repair intervention that we had scheduled for today. Given one last chance this morning, it decided to drain itself without aid. I can only think that whatever blockage prevented water removal dried up enough to move on through ... like a shattered kidney stone.
An intermittent problem is the worst, no?

Reservations for dinner anybody! The threat of repair intervention must have been the little kick the DW needed. Speaking of DW, if you add an S, you now have DSW. Designer Shoe Warehouse. Ops, sorry. Just a thought process. Hopefully, the repair-man will be able to battle the DW stubbornness and fix the intervention problem permanently. You have a very nice DW and this is surprising news. The dish drainer is a sign of “Houston we have a problem.”
I'm with Zeta - let the other guy do prep and cleanup. Charming as the Drainer is, the DishWasher would be my choice of instrument to accompany the dishes on their way to clean. Well, at least scraped and stacked. And a trip to Outback would probably be in order until the repair guy shows up.
Outback! Count on me for attending this restaurant for reservations. Not having to deal with cleanup of the dishes; priceless.
