New Appliance

Old dishwasher

Our dishwasher has not been doing a great job of cleaning dishes lately. It's been leaving little black dots on things and residue on others. Over Christmas break, mom & dad bought a new dishwasher & gave us their old one.

New dishwasher

It's a much better dishwasher than ours, but is the same GE brand. Vince spent Saturday installing it. This "new" one had a leak in it so we put a new seal on the door. Also, mom & dad's water has a lot of lime in it and it took a toll on a few of the parts so Vince swapped out a few of the lime-eaten parts off their dishwasher with ours. And it still leaked, so then he swapped out the entire motor unit. And now it works perfectly!

The old one had no insulation at all around it and was really noisy. Vince put new insulation inside against the cabinets. The new one also had thicker insulation around it. It is so much quieter now. We can actually watch TV with it on now & we don't have to turn the volume way up.

Vince has some mad skills when it comes to rebuilding and repairing appliances. So if he ever needs a side job or something to fall back on, appliance repairman can be added to his resume.
