Sybill, My dishwasher broke down. Of course, 35 years and 5 months is a pretty good run, so I can't complain. Anyways, I am washing by hand and I was wishing that I had a drain tray. Then it hit me.....dumb@$$, you've got trays in the dishwasher. Just because it doesn't wash the dishes anymore doesn't mean it can't drain them!!! Problem solved until my new diswasher gets here. Guarantee you that it won't last 35 years. But, I'm 73 with a lot of medical problems, so neither will I.
