Over the past couple of days we've been having some problems with our dishwasher not working properly. The water is not circulating and cleaning the dishes and silverware. The detergent pods are not dissolving. This is all happening just after we had to buy a new clothes dryer that wasn't working anymore. The dryer was around 20 years old and way overdue for replacement. This dishwasher is about 12 to 15 years old and again it is due for replacement. I looked up replacing dishwashers on the net and it looked like the common replacement time was about 12 to 14 years. I guess we're right on time. It doesn't look like it's worth getting in a repair service.
I've tried taking some of the parts out and cleaned them. I cleaned out the filter. Becky ordered some of the dishwasher bomb cleanser. That will be our last shot of getting this thing to work. We've started looking at replacement dishwashers at Orvilles. In the meantime we are washing our dishes by hand again.
We didn't have a dishwasher back on Seymour Street and not at our apartment on Putnam Street when we first moved to Buffalo. We also did not have a dishwasher in our kitchen at our house on Shirley Ave. So that means during our life together we went from 1976 until 1997 without having a dishwasher in our kitchen until we got the house on Crescent. That would be twenty and a half years washing our dishes by hand. It felt funny doing it again.
