Four Green Coral Court Stars

Early in December I noticed the seal around our dishwasher drain was crumbling. I searched in vain for a replacement seal on the Internet. I called a reliable appliance repair shop. I sent a photo of the seal, the make and model, and they said a repairman would be by in a week with the needed part. What’s a week of hand-washing dishes? A week later the repairman came with the wrong part. He looked at our machine and said it couldn't be repaired. In fact, it's more or less disposable. That night we went out and bought a new dishwasher the store said would be installed a week later. When the appliance arrived the installers said they couldn’t work under a granite counter top without special hardware. A week after that, they said the dishwasher we’d bought had been mislabeled on the sales floor. The dishwasher that came yesterday had been damaged in transit, so we'll try again next week. Does anyone have a good remedy for dishpan hands?
