Noooo puddles!!!!

I thought the dishwasher was sounding funny so I went in to check and found a puddle quickly forming on the kitchen floor.  I guess I'll be calling a repair man.

d'oh.

 Can you see where the water comes from?  (I never call repair men if It's avoidable...but I also don't have a dishwasher)

It seems to be coming out the crack between the dishwasher and the wall. I called DH and he told me to hold off and let him look at it before we call someone.  Ugh.

Better that the dishwasher is leaking than you leaking, yes?

GBCK

that might just be a bad seal...those are cheap and pretty easy (I HAVE done that on a dishwasher before, even though I don't own one :-)

Okay, GBCK.  You are hired.  Can you be here by Sunday?  Bring your tool kit with you. TIA!!

GBCK

sure thing :-)

(I actually hate doing a lot of repair but...I"m cheap.  And both dads are handy so we just call them if we get really stuck.

Hell, the Mr. is talking about making a crib w/ FIL)

B. Eliminate Simple Door Leak Causes First (10 Minutes)

• Check the gasket (Photo 10). If you can?t find obvious damage, simply clean it with a sponge and all-purpose household cleaner.

• Clean the float switch. A float switch stuck in the lowered position will cause the tub to overfill. See Photos 4 and 5 for cleaning directions.

• Use the detergent specified for dishwashers only. Hand dishwashing liquid will overfoam, produce leaks and make your kitchen look like an old I Love Lucy episode.
