It’s a 2011 Kenmore entry model dishwasher. Broke one of the shitty brittle leveling plastic feet off pulling it out, now it’s on a chunk of wood.
Here’s the twist: This was last month. My roommate and I promised each other to inspect old plastic containers better. Yeah neither of us remembered, so there’s another broken bit of plastic stuck in the pump again, making a concerning racket.
Honestly the filter cylinder is a bad design I should fix that. There’s no reason the top should be so wide open to stuff falling from the top rack.
But now I’m kinda seething and want the thing to die.
The middle chunk of plastic is tomato sauce pigment impregnated. Very cool.
Have you considered it might be a were-washer, and it goes out at night and eats other kitchen appliances and cabinetry?
I know what sub this is, but at first I thought, “Oh neat, someone made their own raytracing engine, that’s not dull.”
I wish we had a dishwasher.
I can see why with the speckled counter surface for sure.
Dishwashers never die when you want them to do so. Only when there’s no one around and people are coming over for dinner.
In mine there is a big metal mesh with thousands tiny holes, and a big center filter entry, too wide too and let enter all kind of debris, so I stuck a rag in it, water keeps flowing through the thousands tiny holes without any problem, and never again I have chunk of food blocking/destroying the pump.
A perfectly effortless fix haha.
Idk with this one, liquid cement a piece of door screen mesh over top maybe.
yup, add a kind of mesh, a small rag tucked to the bottom may work too :)
Putting plastic containers in a dishwasher sounds like a pretty bad idea, it’s probably covering everything in there with a coat of microplastics 🤢
If I wasn’t already breathing it in for over a decade that might bother me. It’s too late I’m half Ken doll :( I make the stuff, sorry.
