Yesterday, we woke up and found the dishwasher hadn’t been run. We thought for sure we had started it, but it seemed we were wrong. So, we put more soap in and started it again. This time, when the cycle ended, we found the untouched soap packet and dry dishes with food remnants cooked to a dry crust. I tried it one more time late last night after the kids had gone to bed, thinking our 1 yr. old had been “resetting” the buttons on the front. This morning, no luck. The same undissolved packet and the same dry, dirty dishes. Only now, the food was a permanent part of our dinnerware.
We had planned on doing something else today, but that was put aside as we embarked on a ‘fix-it’ project. My husband is so good at these things and I appreciate his willingness to try home repairs even if he has never done a particular job before. Last year it was our washer and dryer. This time it happens to be our dishwasher and next time it looks like it will be a toilet *wink*.
Anyway, today he had some help. I couldn’t resist snapping a picture of my Main Guy and my Guy #2 working on the repairs. Bear, who is almost 2, was being so quiet, studious, and helpful whilst holding the flashlight. What a great little guy.
So, did you fix it? Our dishwasher doesn’t work every day either… only her name is Christa.
Yes, we did – I’m not sure what I did, but clean out one solenoid valve, and check one float switch. Don’t think those would help your situation, though!
