What Annoyed You Today? (1 Viewer)

Check your dishwasher filter and waste collection area inside the machine Matt.
Chances are that it needs a clean.

Pour one small box of baking soda in the bottom of the dishwasher, then add about 4 cups of white vinegar and then run your dishwasher for a full "hot" cycle.

Sorted

waste area was spotless. So far my vinegar plan is working. Baking soda next if that doesn't work. I've never had this problem with any dishwasher (including this one) in the past. I've had this one for 5 years or so and no problems until now.

Did you check the filter(s) and waste water pipe Matt?
If you disconnect the waste water pipe from the house pipe and smell it..that'll give you a clue too.

My dishwasher worked perfectly for a number of years. It stopped suddenly - when she divorced me ........

 

[Matt308]

...well apparently you should have smelled 'er pipe.

[I'm blaming that one squarely upon Readie. Really I am.]

Er ....okay!

my wife and i have decided to move in with her parents for a while to save some money to allow us to buy our own house instead of renting as we do now.

this means from the end of July i will be on a modelling sabbatical for about 8 months as there is no room for me to do any building and all my finished models and other gear will be in storage.

in the end it will be worth it but no modelling for 8 months, i might have to learn the art of conversation !

That sucks Karl but understandable. I moved the daughter and her fiance back home as Victoria was too expensive for them on single income and like you, it should only be for a few months.

got a jack russel will that do ?
but i will be not seen wearing a flat cap ever, despite being from oop north !

Matt, perhaps check to see if the smell is coming from the sprayers? You may also check the seals and see if one of them has a hole where water could have gotten in. I guess the best way to track it down is leave the door open for a while so the smell doesn't accumulate, then track it down with your nose. Good luck.

Or Karl has Jack Russell you might be able to borrow

Did kind of the same thing myself Karl. When my wife was expecting my daughter we sold my house and moved into the upstairs apartment of my Mother-in laws two flat with her living in the downstairs apartment to save money for a bigger house, and so her mother could help take care of the baby. It was only supposed to be for 2 years but the baby is now 15 and we're still there. Kind of like a black hole where the gravity keeps sucking you in deeper and deeper.......

Actually am thinking the vinegar solved the problem. Time will tell. Nothing is annoying me at this moment. So that's a good thing!

I had SATs this morning which now have me stir crazy

 

[Readie]

Vinegar is a wonderfull thing Matt.
I wish I could share your 'not annoyed day' but, I'm afraid I cannot.
My main annoyance today is sullen teenagers....

Good news on the future house purchase Karl, but shame bout the lack of modelling space (thought you'd converted the garage at the in laws, or was that where you are now?). You can always come to my place for a weekend, and share the modelling bench!
