A Millionaire Who Does Dishwasher Repairs?
#5 in the series: Live Like a Millionaire.
A couple of weeks ago I was disappointed to learn that my dishwasher was not working. The unit was not filling with enough water to dissolve the soap. To add to the problem, the lack of water was not allowing the pump to distribute the water to the spray arms to thus clean my soiled dishes. What a pity! I just hate it when that happens!
This was a little disconcerting to me as the dishwasher was only a few years old and I spent a little extra on purchasing a good brand, Bosch, in the hopes that I would get a little more mileage out of it.
The ability of the washer to clean the dishes was good so I didn't want to just toss it out and replace it. I also found that by adding about a quart of water to the unit it would run fine. But, I had to wait beside the door and add water as each wash and rinse cycle was completed. That was a pain and just was not worth the effort. To add insult to injury, the machine takes about two hours to do a full wash rinse cycle. Hey, I have better things to do such as change my car oil or mow my lawn, both of which would take less than two hours. You can check out those posts here and here.
So I did what any red-blooded North American would do. I googled the problem and searched for a solution.
