The dishwasher engineer is on his way


And now I've broken my printer!!

Oh dear

It's just not printing right... It's missing out lots of lines


Ooh... The dishwasher engineer is here right now!


EEEEEeeeewwww! He's opened the door and it's smelling!

You were supposed to hit the dishwasher with the sledge not the bloomin printer.

Blah!

Seems like the dishwasher is terminally poorly


The engineer says he's never seen anything like it before. Whoever put the machine together in the factory has twisted it, preventing the seal working properly and causing a leak. Now he cannot get everything to go back inside properly.

Photos have been taken and I should hear from someone early next week


He's told me NOT to press any buttons, and to use my old dishwasher - wait until I tell Hubby he was called old!

I had a problem with the seal not working in my dishwasher. I had to bribe him with a bucket of fish.

Don't say old, say alternative.

Next week? Tell them to install a new one pronto! You didn't pay good money for having a poorly dishwasher for four weeks and then have to wait another to get a new and flawless one

Who did you buy this from? The Super Mario Bros.?

Sorry, Lil, but your dishwasher is in another castle. Or something witty like that.

He's Classic, not old. Like Kookie Cola.

Oh...

The latest is:

They agree the dishwasher needs replacing.

They will send out a new dishwasher and their delivery service will notify me when they are able to deliver.

However, they will not install it, nor remove the old/broken dishwasher... I am now waiting to see if the original installers will be coming back... and...

... Who will pay for them to reinstall the new dishwasher?

wow that's... nice of them

You could get Warwick Davis to do it. He's got experience with these sort of things.

You just *knew* that was going to happen!

Yo should write a letter of complaint to them, explaining that it has cost yo time and money t get this sorted out. I'm prsuming it's a "built in" one, in which case yo expect it to have a decent life becausse of the trouble of installing and removing it. Get a quote from your fitter, and send that with the letter, preferably with thephotos if you managed t get a copy.

On a different tack, Someone said t me recently "You're so old, you're Retro!"

my sink is still doing the job

I just read a quote that might interest you, Lil:

"Porn gives young women unrealistic expectations about how quickly you can summon a washer repair man"

That dose not sound like Lil ...............

On second thoughts !!!!

A new dishwasher doesn't always mean a better dishwasher, as I learned to my dismay a few years ago. My old one died and was replaced with a supposedly superior, certainly newer one made by the same company. It holds more dishes, looks snazzy, but it doesn't get the dishes as clean as the old one did.

Best of luck, lil.
