I have a Miele dishwasher that has stopped working, the intake/drain light is blinking and I've cleaned everything I can according to the repair manual. I also have an Amana refrigerator where the motor rotor seems to be scraping. Need a qualified Appliace Repair specialist for these issues.

Dishwasher Repair
You can keep the need for dishwasher repair services low by making sure that your dishwasher is maintained properly. Clean the outside of the appliance using detergent and a damp sponge. Make sure that the filters of your dishwasher are cleaned regularly. Remove rust stains regularly. Plug your dishwasher into a grounded outlet, or wire it directly. Clean the spray arms with hot vinegar and a pin to keep the dishwasher clean. Use only detergents that are meant especially for dishwashers. Never use cheap washing powder that may contain sand, damaging the appliance and the dishes. Most dishwasher repairs tend to be complicated, and must not be attempted at home. However if you have excellent DIY skills, you can attempt to make minor dishwasher repairs yourself. Always remember to make sure that all power supply to the appliance is switched off.
If your dishwasher fails to turn on, first check if the machine is receiving power. This can be hard because these appliances tend to be wired into an electrical circuit, and not plugged into a wall. However, you can look for a blown fuse that's disrupted power supply to the machine. A defective door switch can also prevent the dishwasher from turning on. You may have to remove the interior liner of the door, and the control panel covers to locate the door switch. If defective, replace it. Also, make sure that there has been no burning or breaking of the wiring. Check not only the main wiring, but also the wiring connected to the liner, the door switch as well as the wiring located between the lower half of the machine and the door. If you have electric repair skills, you can repair burned or broken wires, using connectors and appliance grade wires.
Sometimes you don't need dishwasher repairs to keep your machine working perfectly. For instance, use only hot water in your dishwasher to get the rest results. To make sure that the water is as hot as possible, let it run for about half a minute before you switch on the dishwasher. For better results, place the setting on a higher temperature. The water should be at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit for cleaning, but preferably not more. Keep your dishwasher running smoothly, and avoid dishwasher repair problems by cleaning the dishwasher regularly. Remove rust stains that can be caused by iron in the water. If you find corrosion on the dish racks or if the plastic coating begins to wears off, buy a repair kit to patch these. Make sure that your dishwasher is either directly wired or plugged into a grounded source. Use only hot water for the machine, and make sure that you use only dishwasher specific detergents.
