dirty dishes no more!

Dude, so we bought a dishwasher this weekend from a garage sale….we come home and say to the roommate “Hey, we bought a dishwasher and we’re wondering if we can use your car to transport it”….she looked at us like we were speaking Chinese and then said “You guys just don’t make small purchases do you?!” [laugh]…nope. But then it was like, issue after issue after issue…..we didn’t fit it into the car….so we paid the owner $10 to haul it over to our apartment…..then we get it all plugged in and everything and no water…[of course]…so we do some research, we tip it upside down decide that it’s probably the hose that’s it’s clogged or something…so we attempt to replace the hose [we totally took pictures of the dishwasher, the hose, the plug in and then headed off to the home improvement store with the digital camera to make sure we were doing the right thing].

So we then buy the wrong hose to hook up, decide to bring the old hose with us this time to the hardware store…but this takes so much longer than it should ‘cause it’s metal end it sealed to the next piece because of all the corrosion. So like, two hours later we finally have the new hose in place [we never actually got the two pieces apart ourselves…we took it to the hardware store to the boy Neubia was flirting with on the first trip, and he took it back to the cleaners section of the store and just started spraying all sorts of chemicals on it (laugh)…and it finally came apart].

So back at the house, with the new hose in place, we attempt it again, with no luck…still no water. After many phone calls to fathers, and numerous attempts to research it on-line, we call the GE 1800 number and they give us a few suggestions….we do it….then it actually pumps the water in [hurray!], but when we look in at the end of the cycle there is like 4 inches of water still in it….not right.

We look all over the internet, end up calling the GE lady again….follow her suggestions, nothing works. So, because we had no other ideas we decide to just run it again and see what happens.

So around midnight, we have finally came to the end of the second run through and because we are aware that we might have just made the situation worse, I suggest we roll the dishwasher halfway out the door before we open it [in case there is more water in it than before]…..Luckily however, after rolling it into the darkness, Whit opened it and nothing….all water was properly drained…hallelujah!

I swear, we don’t always go looking for crazy crap to happen to us…a lot of the time it just finds us [shrug]….[smile].
