       Dammit! The frickin' dishwasher doesn't work. I had all that trouble with it awhile back and managed to fix it myself, but now the problem is that it fills and drains but the main motor doesn't seem to run. There must not be any feedback in the design because the wash timer happily counts down but there's no sound and nothing is happening.Kind of sick of this GE dishwasher and maybe it's time to just replace the whole thing.

       Ended up with a new Maytag dishwasher which may or may not be good (it was often second place on various lists I came across and it was on sale presumably because its now the “old” model). It took over 3 hours to install the stupid thing myself. Very grumpy. This is the 4th dishwasher in 9 years. A few months ago we needed a new fridge and new tires. Earlier this year was a new water softener and water heater. We’ve gone from no debt to ~2 months behind. I don’t imagine it’s going to get better.

       @bigzaphod I just had a Maytag washing machine go out. It was 23 years old. It's survived 3 moves and a flood. I replaced it with another Maytag, but I'm not sure how long the new one will last. It has wifi. Not sure what for, but I don't care to find out hahah.

       @dustin oh geez. WiFi?! lol. Our model is simpler than that. I hope it lasts, but I have real doubts about modern appliances.
