water backing up anywhere else? might be a main line issue

unless you have a mechanized 200ft augur you'll have to call someone

No water backup issues elsewhere.

just this morning i was thinking... when we bought our house 6 years ago, the inspector told us we needed to change the hot water heater ASAP. after moving in, i checked the serial number, and it was about 12 years old, which sure, i guess is probably getting up there. put it off bc i didn't have the extra $1000 to get a new one. and 6 years later, it's still going strong. wtf?

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

start, i googled "dishwasher won't drain" and got a ton of "fix your dishwasher in under five minutes" How-To vids. Are these not sufficient for your needs?

I watched a few as well. Most of those videos are workign with removing all parts and making sure there is no clog. ive done most of that and haven't seen anything.

does your washer drain into a garbage disposal?

yeah this can be a main cause, if you have a GD (lol) your dishwasher probably drains into/through it. Start there.
