We got our dishwasher in Jan 2010. In Feb 2011 it started cutting out minutes into the cycle. I can't remember what that was down to. It then did it again in Feb 2012, needed a new motor. It got one. And now, 4 fucking months later here we go again. Start of a bh weekend and a kitchen full of dirty dishes.

Sad Would the new motor have had a 12 month guarantee by any chance?

SageYourOracle · 02/06/2012 18:42

What a PIA.
But couldn't you declare the weekend one long 'street party', y'know, in honour of m'am, & eat off paper plates?!

Can you afford to ditch it? But a John Lewis one that comes with a five year guarantee. They are unkillable and not that expensive.

Seriously?

It's called fairy liquid for fucks sake. Hardly a meltdown moment.

Oh spRks feel the slight tongue in cheekness of the vent . Seriously, I am in no mood to be patronized.

Yes, think the motor does have a guarantee, and we also took out protection last tome it broke! I'm more annoyed that I have walked into a kitchen from hell and instead of emptying, restacking and pressing go I am having to wash wash wash. I am going away tomorrow, back mondaay and Wednesday will be the first time I can ring them. It will be fine, I do know that but allow me to vent, maybe?

It would be a meltdown moment here, I have psoriasis.

Stealth, erm, how's your head?

In which case it's probably best i don't point out its patronised.. Oh.. sorry!

FWLIW dishwashers are crap if you ask me. Never get things completely clean.

LadyMaryCrawley · 02/06/2012 19:02

But it's fun to make dirty things clean again!

Sparklingbunting · 02/06/2012 19:12

I am sure white goods can communicate. Our washing machine died, and it was only a new motor required. Phew. But is must have told the fridge freezer to have a wee on the floor and properly die the next week. Angry

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2012 19:16

Phone auto correct. My rulings not good at the best of times but I can generally spell :)

Howl away. We've just moved house and after a month long stint at my moms with no dishwasher it takes not so DH a week and a half to plumb in the dishwasher. 10 bloody days of unnecessary washing up. I should have left the bastard Grin

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2012 19:18

Lol at freezer weeing on floor :)
And I agreem when I say I hate washing up I am actually lying. I don't mind it at all. O hate drying up and the draining board is only so big so I have to dry...and move...

StealthPolarBear · 02/06/2012 19:19

Misspelling intended
If anyone from whirlpool is reading his and fancies doing some damage limitation, dh will be around to let the engineer in tomorrow

Patronized is fine! But you should really capitalise 'I' and the second 'it's' above is missing an apostrophe.

StealthPolarBear howl away. Loudly. Until someone promises to do the washing up just to shut you up!

Whirlpoo are indeed craparoo. Keep stalking them until they buckle and give you a new machine. Proper stalking. Pick one particular person at the company and be all "Every breath you take, Every move you make, I'll be watching you!"
