How Amana Dishwashers Are Built

Drying relies on a heated dry option, and a working element leaves the tub warm and steamy when the door is opened after the cycle. Source: Amana - Dishes Not Drying: Quick Fix Guide

What Arlington Owners Should Know
Arlington County Department of Environmental Services (water treated by the Washington Aqueduct from the Potomac River), which supplies Arlington, reports hardness of about 135 mg/L (8 grains per gallon) on average. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair.

Virginia's Board for Contractors has no appliance repair license classification, but its gas fitting contracting specialty covers installing, repairing or removing gas piping and appliances attached to real property. Source: 18VAC50-22-30, Definitions of specialty services
In Virginia, you can check a license with the DPOR License Lookup or report a problem to the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Consumer Protection Section.
