How do you know when it's time to fix the dishwasher?

WHEN YOUR WIFE TELLS YOU IF YOU DON'T, YOU HAVE TO WASH THE DISHES! :whistling:

Took off all the access panels, and vacuumed all the pet hair and spider webs, disconnected all the water lines and replaced the filter screens, cleaned all the gunk from the float valve inside (holy shit if you haven't done this, go do it now! It's gross, and it's in constant contact with the "clean" water in your dishwasher.) Then I removed and cleaned the particulate filters on the inside.

Then I put it all back together.

Runs like a champ now!

I really love knowing how to do basic maintenance. :w00t2:

You did it nicely Dave. I'd give anything to have a handyman around here when things go wrong, instead of paying out the a$$ when I need a major repair.

Hey, my wife is married to a handyman (my business), and she'll give you an earful about the "benefits" of having me around. After doing it all day, I expect to come to come home to a maintenance free home...or at least that's how I view my castle.:yum:

Well Joe, I used to rely on my BIL Russ to do all those "man" things for me.
He and my sister have moved to another town, so it's like I have to ask a friend's husband, or hope there is someone around who can do things before I have to call a service guy in.
I know how to use a screwdriver and a hammer ( a butter knife or a shoe works in a pinch lol).. but like last year when the pilot kept blowing out on my hot water heater, I was afraid to mess with it because I was sure I'd blow the house off the map.
My little neighbour boy Tim mows and will be raking for me now at $10 per job.
I'd ask Stan, the divorced, kitchen neighbourly window gawker, but I think he's a pervert.:yum:

grrrrrrrrrr!!
Do you know that I can't even walk out the front door without that guy being at the window 24/7?
Swear to God, he must cook and do something in that kitchen ALL THE TIME!
Take last summer, I am out digging around in the flower bed, and there he is!
At the window!:yum:
He did bring my garbage cans back up to the patio one day while I was at work, and made sure he rushed out to tell me he'd done that heroic act, at 10:15 pm.
One day while I had the dog out, he came out to talk to me in his ever present shades. I told him to take them off because I can't tell what he's looking at.
:eek:
 
My dishwasher works pretty well. Sometimes, I hear complaints about her legs getting tired or something so I give her a 3-minute break to sit down but then it's right back at it.
 
Wife hates the one in our new place(GE). It gets the dishes clean so I don't mess with it. Rebuilt our old one years ago. A broken glass had let a piece get in and tear up the pump. Those old potscrubbers were good machines.

Does she wear avocado outfits? You do want her to match the other appliances, don't you?:hide:
 
A couple of old jokes that fit right into this discussion:

Know why brides always wear white. Because it used to be that you could only get appliances in white.

Know why a woman's feet are shorter than a man's? It's an evolutionary thing that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink while doing the dishes.

Hope the member's of our fairer sex are not offended.
