A couple of weeks ago, the dishwasher suddenly stopped filling with water. Jim suspected the inlet hose, and went online to see what he could find. The Samsung replacement was going to be quite expensive, and if we got a repairman out, even more so. With another couple of hundred or so we could almost have bought a new machine!! So we decided that as there are only the 2 of us, we could do without it for a while, and just wash up as we go. After about a week of this, we realised that we were probably using more water and gas with the continual turning on of the hot water than was used in the dishwasher.
So Jim went back to the shed, armed with the serial /model numbers and his trusty laptop. Later, he emerged triumphant , having located a firm that makes hoses of all types, at about 1/4 the price. We weren't sure whether a different brand would fit, so he emailed the company. They told him what to check for,and then we ordered the part.
Australia Post must have sensed our urgency, because they delivered it a couple of days early. So yesterday he bit the bullet, and crouched with his head in the kitchen cupboard while wrestling with spanners, screwdrivers and the like. Finally it was done, and we did a quick wash to test. Bingo!! So it was on with the covers and now good to go. All for about $40. Well worth it.
