I apologize for asking two questions in one thread. First, I have a not inexpensive dishwasher where the spray holes get clogged with every single wash. After each wash i spend 15-20 minutes with a small drill bit and the metal core of a bag tie pulling out bits of food from the holes (I have developed some techniques). The filter seems OK, I can only think of particle leakage around the filter. The doctor is testing me for my allergies so on her recommendation I am eating a lot of quinoa and millet, and that probably exacerbates the problem as those grains are perfect size for clogging (I am seeing also peanut skins, but I have now arranged so that peanuts are eaten in separate containers). Advice? Second, the column carrying water into the toilet tank leaks at the top. After flushing, instead of filling the toilet properly through the pipe going into the center pipe of the tank, it makes a little geyser. The result is still a full tank eventually, but I would like to fix it. I removed the top screw, thinking that this was enough to disassemble the floater arm and the top cap, but this is not the case. I can't take out the cap without exerting a lot of force and I am afraid of breaking it. Pointers to proper instructions will be appreciated.

I really don't know much about dishwashers, so I apologize in advance for not knowing the right terminology. The symptom is the dishes on the top rack aren't being washed well (if at all). Wife put a rolled up bit of paper towel in a cup and it came out bone dry - making us believe the sprayer which shoots water to that level just isn't functioning. So I pulled the dishwasher apart, I've soaked all the sprayers in vinegar, etc. But as I was putting it back together I noticed this part (here's an image of it: [url]https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CGODco9XfRi_XRiGBeP1OEB6pj4YBAMc[/url]). Clearly, the point is that when the top shelf is all the way pushed back, the sprayer connects to this rubber part, forming a seal, and letting the water flow through. However, the rubber is super hard and corroded, probably affecting the seal (and maybe causing the water to spill around the seal and not fully go through the sprayer). As you can tell from the picture, the little rubber flap that normally comes out when the sprayer is pulled out doesn't even flap down anymore. Ok. So I have an Electrolux dishwasher, model # EWDW6505GS0 ([URL="https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/ewdw6505gs0/1412/0130000.html"]more here[/URL]). Any thoughts?
