Had to replace my #dishwasher after so so many years this week. The new one is #WiFi enabled and for the life of me I can’t work out why!

I mean, I can read the manual and it says what it can do, but why?

“You can start the dishwasher remotely”. Okay, but I still have to walk to it and put detergent in.

“You can see how long is left on the current cycle”. So? If I’m out then I don’t care, if I’m in then I’ll check when I make a cuppa.

So yeah, I’m not enabling it

@briankrebs Use liquid rather than pods so that there's detergent in the pre-wash cycle.

There’s no wrong way to load this #dishwasher https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/15/23796026/bosch-dishwasher-powercontrol-smart-cleaning-zones

The found-by-curbside dishwasher had a spell of not wanting to power up, and it was only one last try of jiggling connectors that got it to power back on again.

Yay. Don't have to go buy things!

But I don't see why power needs to be externally supplied.

There's this mysterious glowing green device inside, so based on every science fiction movie I've ever watched, our dishwasher should run for hundreds of years, powered by nuclear isotopes.

The TV said it. Must be true.

Cool, cool. Someone spilled (instant pot) bean juice into the #dishwasher power/control buttons, left it, and now it's just rebooting over and over.

So, uh, anyone have a dishwasher model that they like?

Mardo: Mia telerlavilo malbone lavis niajn telerojn, tasojn, forkojn, tranchilojn kaj kulerojn. 😒

#Tuesday (mardo)
#dishwasher
#Esperanto

1.) I rinse the big stuff off dishes before loading. Big chunks get caught in the filter.
2.) I clean the filter monthly. Filter gets slimy & water between #dishwasher uses looks nasty.
3.) Discovered today that my 3 yr old #GE dishwasher's door sweep traps debris behind the door sweep. IT WAS REALLY NASTY...
Wipe behind bottom door sweep if you have a newer GE dw.
My model is SM779180B.
Cheers...

You're late? No, you're not.

You are right on time.

And we are just glad you're here!

When I was doing this work last night, I was also trying to prepare dinner, a chickpea and pasta soup...

While zig-zagging over to the dishwasher hole to do one-more-step. The upper 1mm of the particle board is friable, I think from a big undersink flood a few years ago. But strong enough still!

And I was hustling to get the bread toasted in the oven.

#repair #dishwasher

Now under the counter, with power, water, and drainage hooked up.

The flooring under there is crumbly particle board, and because the dishwasher needed to come up, I just cut a couple lengths of slat to tuck under the dishwasher feet.

At the top of dishwasher's front, there are two straps with holes. Two wood screws through them, into the bottom of the counter.

Plastic drip trays under the hose connections for monitoring.

Then load dishes and start a run!

There were a couple problems that might have wedged this dishwasher:

The service manual said that the controller board could enter fault state if a ground fault was detected. The power cord was just a 2 wire ungrounded lamp cord! Ugh! That's not good. I replaced it with a proper grounded cord with 3 prong plug.

The other problem was that soup had been poured into the buttons at the top of the door. Ew. So I disassembled and cleaned it out.

Whichever! Works now!

On the inside of the door, there was a model number and a QR code. Scanning that got me GE's product info and access to user manuals.

Not what I needed though.

I needed info about this problem, of the control panel not lighting up.

But Internet people are talking about this very problem:

https://www.applianceblog.com/mainforums/threads/gdt545psj2ss-ge-dishwasher-appears-dead.78722/

"If the dishwasher has detected a CSM fault , this can be cleared by pressing Cycle Select and Start for 5s, then..."

That worked!

Testing now!

#garage #repair #dishwasher

The fellow whose house it was, he came out. He said that it just stopped working. Control panel wouldn't light up anymore.

After saying thanks, I drove off.

Each time I passed by, I debated with myself if I should take it. Finally, I stopped to get the make and model, to look up parts prices.

The tub was made of plastic. It weighed nothing.

"Heck, if it's like dead-dead, I can just Sawsall it all into bitty bits and chuck them!"

So I brought it home.

A house I drive past each day had a dishwasher out by the curb. I kept looking at it.

"Stainless facade? Relatively new? Then why are they throwing it out?"

My family's current dishwasher is about to die. Maytag from 1996. The racks are rusty in places, have broken tines. The door interlock failed, so you can open the door and it keeps running, sprays you in the face.

So I gave into temptation and stopped my car. Should I take this thing and try to fix it?
