Hey, EMAW irl friends. Recently bought a house and the existing dishwasher has gone from stud to pud in the last week. I have extensive experience fixing appliances (watched a couple of YouTube vids), but this dishwasher issue is really getting my goat.
Usually I would just SteveDave the mess out of this situation because
, but I really think I can do this one myself and feel like a baller/shot caller.
WonderMeal's Issue:
Dishwasher makes all the normal dishwashery sounds and whatever. Unfortunately, there's no water coming into the dishwasher to aid the thing that makes everything clean.
WonderMeal Diagnostic Tests and Results:
-Check the float cap thing to see if it works--YEP
-Take off the metal thing that keeps things from rolling under the dishwasher--CHECK, EVERYTHING IS GROSS UNDER HERE
-Look to see if the fan dealie on the bottom still turning--TURNING LIKE A DREAM STILL
-Unkink any hoses or whatever--NO PROBLEMO, AS NONE WERE KINKED
-Remove the water intake valve, clean out the gunky stuff, and shake it around to see if that does anything--NOPE
From my expert analysis, I'm guessing I need to replace the water intake valve.
Any DishwasherCats or HomeownerCats have any other suggestos? (Really trying to not electrocute myself, guys. That's important to me.)
Please assist, as fixing the problem without calling someone will make me feel like a stud and a boss. One day I can even tell Wondermeal Jr. about the time his dad fixed the dishwasher. (At which point he'll say, "Why do you need to wash dishes when all of your meals come in pill form? It's 2045, WonderMeal Sr.")
Also, should I buy a Binford? Please advise.
