The repair guy came on Monday to take a look at the dishwasher. Of course, he had to order a part (we all saw this coming, didn’t we?). Luckily, the part arrived today and he fixed it today, so my dishwasher is back in working order. And, by ‘the part’, I mean a new motor. The motor seal on the dishwasher was leaking and the only way to fix it was to replace the motor. So, I guess I will be adding Frigidaire to my list of companies to boycott (They’re right up there with Dodge…Brian got a recall notice for his truck today. The upper ball joints for the front wheels might fail and the wheels might fall off while he’s driving. How nice. At least Dodge is footing the bill for this one).
But getting back to the point, I know I use my dishwasher a lot, but shouldn’t a motor last more than four years? The cost to repair the dishwasher was over 1/3 of the price we paid for it. Granted it was cheaper to fix than to buy a new dishwasher, but I think if this happens again, we’re going to have to seriously think about replacing it.
Let the dishwashing commence!
