August so far: the dryer. The plumbing. Now the dishwasher. And Monday there will be three of us, so we can’t just ignore it.

When everything looks clear but it barely drains–I heard it trying and a little did but not enough and it threw the error code–do you call the plumber or appliance repair? I’m thinking appliance?

I tried simply clearing out the water and starting it over and that actually worked yesterday. Yay!

Today the panel gave me The Look and did not.

Oh dear! You left off the choice of calling the computer repair service…When our barely ever used dishwasher started running cycles without and human assistance, we called the repair guy. “It’s the (fancy word for computer). Replacing it is about $50 less than buying a new machine. Fingers crossed for you.

I’m so sorry to hear that you also are having dishwasher trouble this week! I hope yours is an easy fix; we will need a new one and who will carry it up five flights of stairs? We may need to wait for the elevator to be fixed, rats.

That is so frustrating. Seems like you’ve had problems with the dishwasher already this year? Hope it is something easily fixable.

We replaced almost all of appliances and utilities when we did the major structural renovations in 2018. So far so good…
