Speaking of major appliances.

When I moved into this place I had to buy a dishwasher because the old one was defunct, and found a pretty nice Maytag for a good price.

Years later, the latch on the door partially broke and it couldn’t be closed all the way, so it couldn’t be turned on.

Long story short, the part needed to fix it was supposed to cost $200, which is bad enough (it was part of a whole module thing and the latch couldn’t be fixed by itself), but then I got a call yesterday and they can’t even get that part any more.

So now I get to buy a new dishwasher, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.

I just bought a Bosch. I recommend it. Stay away from Kitchen Aid. I bought a high-end KA in 2014 and the dishes were just as dirty at the end of the cycle as they were when I put them in! What a lemon. I had reached the point where I was basically just scrubbing off the dishes before loading them into the machine and I was like WHY TF AM I DOING THIS!!!
