Stupid Dishwasher

UPDATE: Stupid spelling errors. Fixed title typo.

Well, not the dishwasher so much. The heating element. The new one that replaced the broken one back in February. The new one that broke after less than 5 months of service.

When I called customer service about it, they told me they wouldn’t replace it because it only had a 3 month warranty, which had expired. Plus, another (possibly faulty) element was now $100 more expensive than last time. At the point, it was made more sense to just purchase a new dishwasher. I told the customer service person so and then hung-up.

So there’s an expense we didn’t expect to be shelling out for. We picked out a new one earlier this afternoon. It should be here tomorrow, at which point I’ll give the delivery people the old one and install the new one myself.

In the meantime, we still can’t get the kids to clean dishes.
