A dishwasher follow-up post is in order…
When the repair guy came and inspected under the dishwasher for the cause of the leak, he found that everything was fine under there. He then took things apart inside, and he found that a rubber gasket had not been placed correctly.
I never suspected that I might have caused that leak–but it was me (hard as it is to admit!). About 3-4 weeks ago, I had to get a noisy cherry pit out of the bottom of the dishwasher–down by the blade, and apparently I didn’t get it back together right!
So it was an easy fix for him, and the dishwasher works again… and it’s quiet again… and the damage claim against the company is off… and I will be fixing the floor!
On a brighter note, I did get quite a few responses to my Dishwasher Survey.
Here are the results:
- 80% indicated that they are happy with their dishwasher
- 80% have had theirs less than 5 years
- The most popular feature selected: “Quiet”
- The most common brand: Whirlpool (40% of respondents)
- 100% indicated that they would recommend the brand they had
- 20% reported that they had experienced a dishwasher problem at some time in the past
Thanks to everyone who took the survey!
Less than 2 months ago, we decided to replace our 15-year-old noisy dishwasher with a brand new quiet one.
Then, last week, we discovered that the floor was swelling! I immediately took it out, and was relieved to find it wasn’t something I did! So we are having them come out to fix it, and we have filed a claim for our damaged floor.
After telling two friends about it over the weekend, I found out that BOTH of them had dishwasher stories! I am curious what your experience with dishwashers has been. Would you mind taking a short survey?
