Garrett is as Garrett does

Last night the wife started the dishwasher while I was getting cold water from the fridge.  She stops me and says “Hang on there’s some water here…”  And indeed there was a small amount of water by my foot. Then I realize that it’s a small amount there, only because the rest of the water is making a break for the patio door.  And then the both of us realize that the dishwasher isn’t draining the water into the undersink plumbing – it’s dumping all of it onto the kitchen flooor – under the island, under the dog bed, under the patio door mat, everywhere else but where it needs to be going.

For those following at home, this dishwasher:

• Was completely clogged because the chopper blade fell off.
• Had the control panel fail.
• Had that replacement control panel fail.
• Had the replacement control panel for that replacement control panel fail.

Arrrgh.  Another day pulling the dishwasher and figuring out what went wrong – so I can fix it.  Money’s tight again, so calling in the professionals is out of the question.  Not that it helped last time though…

Grumble, grumble.
