A Flood

My dishwasher broke last week. How did we know? Well the big give away, was the puddle on the floor in the garage below and the leak in the cieling!

The first night, we planned our course of action the next day, we would undo the gazillion screws, carefully putting them aside, and then we would spend about half an hour moving the machine out from under the counter. No small feat when both Hubby and I have problematic knees.

However we did it, and we found pockets of water in the insulation, and before we knew it, the floor was covered. What a mess!

Mops and sponges were brought out and we cleaned up the mini disaster as we went about finding the hole in the hoses.

It did not take long. There it was!

A tiny little slit capable producing big puddles!

We looked through the Owners Manual & Parts book and Hubby got on the phone and ordered the new hose. I think that was on Sunday.

This afternoon the UPS truck pulled up and lo and behold, our new hose arrived from Frigidaire!

Now the challenge begins…installation!

  1. Fortunately it was only the hose and not the whole machine ! I had almost the same story this morning when I did a little laundry, suddenly the whole kitchen was under water ! It was the filter I had forgotten to clean it since ages !
