Don't Despair, Dishwasher!

Yesterday, our dishwasher stopped working. Well, it wouldn't stop running, even though the lights weren't on and then ... it wouldn't work at all.

Eric and I took it apart. What's that? You can think of a better way to spend a Monday night? Well, I sure can't! We located the problem in the circuit board. Something blew ... That big black mark definitely shouldn't be there!

I called several stores who wanted to diagnose the problem for me. We can do that ourselves, thank you very much ... just tell me where I can get the part! Turns out there were only 3 left in the area. So, I headed into Portland, during traffic, yikes. It took us 2.5 hours total, but we got it! Tonight, we conquered our dishwasher! SUCCESS!
