Pulled the brand new dishwasher this am, only worked for a few cycles. What a joke.....local GE dealer said min of 10 weeks till they can give me a maybe. Lots of back and forth with GE and they will swap it out with another new one. Let's try this again.....

Gonna go play in the snow soon.

Nice!

I know what's going on with this one.....the door latch does not seat in the sensor correctly. I can bend the bracket to get it to seat but I know if I do that the door might not seal properly....and the damn thing was like 4 days old and I had to re-tap the threads on the back feet right off the bat. So when they offered the exchange I said come and get it. Fingers crossed....

That's a sweet score!! Someone hooked you up with a nice closing gift! And usually, it's the other way around...You get there and the _________ that was supposed to be included is now missing, and/or they left you a truck full of trash.

Congratulations on your new home...May it bring you much happiness!

It's amazing how cheaply made appliances are, especially dishwashers. I swapped one out for my buddy a while back as his door was leaking, and he had a really nice older stainless steel interior model...a really high quality one. He was broke and bought a cheap dishwasher...The thing only weighed about 10 pounds, I swear, and they hate it, and say it sux.

I replaced all my kitchen appliances a few years ago with Maytag, after only 10 years with the Whirlpool stuff I originally bought. It's ok, but nothing like the old Maytag, since Whirlpool bought them out...I heard the Maytag washer & dryers are better though. Part of the problem with dishwashers is the government makes them be super efficient, so they don't work as well. But I do love my dishwasher...and I always add a squirt of bleach like my mom did, lol.

I wondered if it warped when I used the steam setting. Trying to watch money till it starts flowing back in.......so it's not a super awesome one. But still was about $600....definitely cheaply made.:-?

Yeah for $600 it should be decent...The one my buddy bought was like $250! I have one in a student rental that's going on 10 years old amazingly, and it was a close out deal at Lowes for $100 or something...which is why I put it in. Bought a few and they are all still going. That's probably why they discontinued them...They were too good, not selling enough parts lol.

I use this site to find part # and pictures for washers, dryers, stoves, snowblowers.
Really comprehensive parts list for appliances.
You can punch the # from there into amazon and find some deals also.

There's a bunch of sites I use that way. Also a good one.

Just got it in...this one the alignment looks right. Seats right in there. Gonna try the steam function later or tomorrow to see if that changes anything.

Finally refilled the hummingbird feeders. Won't take them long to find out they are back. Picked up super burritos from the taqueria in town. Beer shelf is filled, picked up the cheap 30 pack at DG. Looked in on the girls this morning, had to tie up a couple branches, they are putting on weight, harvest next Tues.
