The Recalcitrant Dishwasher

So, I ran my dishwasher Tuesday night. And Wednesday morning, I could not open it.  I tried several things, and nothing worked.  I decided I could not deal with it before work, and went to work. I told a co-worker about it. She said another co-worker does appliance installation and repair on the side.  He suggested what I had thought to do: run the cycle again.

Running the cycle did not work last night.  Tonight, I unplugged the dishwasher for a while, plugged it back in, then ran the cycle again. That did not work. The co-worker said if that did not work, he would check his troubleshooting guide.

I do not use a lot of dishes each day, but I am mostly frustrated that I do not have access to what is in the dishwasher.  Oh well.  The worst that can happen is that I will need a new dishwasher. This one is about 11 years old, which is not old for a dishwasher, but given the very hard water in Lubbock, is also not a bad age for a water related appliance.
