DISHWASER OUT OF COMMISION

Luvsmyfam — Tue, 05 Mar 2024 03:05:56 GMT

After running my dishwasher,went to empty and saw water had not drained.JUST GREAT!Called landlord and of course he wanted to do everything the cheap way.I suggested that I could call the app.iance store where this was bought,pay for repair,and take off from my rent.You would of thought I asked him to stand on his head!He thinks he knows what part to purchase.Keep in mind,I use this appliance at least 3 times a week. I'm hopping by the end of the week he will have fixed,but not holding my breath.I totally hate dealing with this guy so much

Not sure what advice I can offer. You think the landlord is a pain in the rear and he prob thinks the same of the tenant.

How old is it? Older than 5-8 yrs an honest service guy will tell you replace it.

You could try cleaning around bottom screen to see if food is stuck there or run your garbage disposal to see if that helps. Many old skool installations, the dw empty line emptied into the disposal.

It's time to pack and move.

It sounds like the water pump went out. I have had many go out on me over the years. It's a common problem and an easy fix.

I hope he doesn't procrastinate. I hate doing dishes by hand....you have my sympathy.

@CoffeeNut

Not a great attitude for the landlord to have is it since the tenants essentially pay his mortgage.

@LuvsmyfamiI think it's time you seriously consider moving. You have not been happy there for a long time.

Try to look at the bright side....at least you have a landlord to call. Homeowners have to deal with these problems on their own. Also, how many dishes can you have that it is a chore to wash them by hand. Have your grandson do them.

@Snowpuppy Appliance is 5 yrs old.I would think they last longer than that

@Travone Yes,I told grandson I do not want to come home e and see a sink full of dishes!It's paperplates until it's fixed.He has in the past did a few dishes left in the sink,but mostly puts in the D.W.

@CoffeeNut How many tenants do you know that pay 1 mo ahead on their rent?As far as I'm concerned,he is very lucky to have me here.Ive lived here 12 yrs,never ever been late with rent,and only call him if their is a major problem(like water heater leaking water dishwasher not draining,AC stopped working)HE has only been the owner for 2 yrs.

So,what do you think now?Have a awsome Tuesday

Even if you were in your own house with your own dishwasher it would be difficult to get a repair person out instantaneously. Sometimes you have to wait.

Dishwashers are not made to last. My home appliance repair contract won't even cover them! A broken water pump is a pretty easy fix (if that's what it is), hopefully your landlord can get someone out soon.

My dishwasher was at the end of its wash cycle and started making awful grinding sounds, then a loud pop and black smoke poured out from under it --there was that scorched wire smell---I am in an apartment, BTW------the whole place filled with smoke, alarms went off and the fire dept came--pulled the thing out and there were bare wires that touched and sparked , as there was no protective box around them when it was installed----was filled with my clean dishes and the bottom was filled with water---it scorched the flooring too. I did get a new dishwasher a few days later--the cheapest one ever made, by the way, and it is a piece of junk!!! The old one was so much better---but maintenance here did get right on it----

Consumer Reports says the average life span of a diswasher is 10 years. For me that means I am operating on borrowed time. Mine must be about 16 years old.

Hope this is resolved for you soon.

Wow! My Bosch was purchased in 2005 and it is still going strong! I had better give it lots of TLC as it is quite elderly!🤣🤣🤣

@wagirlKnowing landlord,if he does replace,trust me it will be the cheapest one on the floor.Even could be a dent and scratch.That is how my new fridge came last yr.What do they care about renters,as long as his pockets are lined.....

@DrakesMomma I have never had a dishwasher last 10 years.....not even close.

We run ours a few times a day. I am happy if I can get 5 years from a dishwasher.

Appliances aren't made to last anymore.
