No fan of illegal immigration here, but I'm also a realist... Went over to my cousin's house last night to fix the dishwasher. The part that we ordered came in and I figured I could get it installed pretty quickly. I was right, I got the part installed quickly. Go to fire it up and the damn thing still wouldn't work. Are you kidding me? I replaced the part that the troubleshooting said was bad. So I fought with it and did more troubleshooting and it said either the pump or the circuit board or bad. Took the pump apart didn't see anything wrong, checked the resistance it was good, checked the voltage at the board it was good, checked the voltage at the pump it was good. Scratched my head about that one so I took the pump apart again and I found a small piece of glass wedged under the pump blades. I didn't see it the first time. I was actually able to spin the blades by hand but it was giving it enough resistance that it wouldn't turn under its own power. Amazing. That cost me an extra hour and a half. In my defense, this is the first time I've ever fixed the dishwasher. I will know for next time. There's always a next time. I'm pretty much convinced that appliance repair guys are the same as plumbers. They just see the same problem over and over so they are used to dealing with it and that's the first thing to go to. And they stock their truck with the common parts so it can be done quickly. When the guy came out to fix my refrigerator last year (5 times) he was a complete moron and didn't know what he was doing. I'm surprised the guy could tie his own shoes. So that pretty much validates my belief. Hope everyone has a great day! |
