Appliance Failure: The 2005 Edition

I'm really wanting to go to bed here. Can someone come over and take a shift mopping up the water while the dishwasher runs?

Not to be confused with the Great Appliance Failure of 2004, the sequel includes not only the dishwasher, but the dryer AND the riding lawnmower. Oh, and not to be outdone, the Busy Van II is in on the failure action as well.

Sorry about the malfunctions - when it rains it pours!

All a cosmic tradeoff to allow PC function and blog accessibility.

If your dishwasher is like mine (and according to dishwasher stats, it probably is) there is a filter in the door. And, I'm sure that, unlike me, you probably take care to clean out said filter on a regular basis. But, I didn't even know there was such a filter until there was a leak. Cleaned it out (YUK!) Leak was cured. Have I cleaned it since? Why, no! I'll wait for the next leak.

My dishwasher never leaks. Oh sure, sometimes I splash a little water on the floor, but I wipe it up with my sock.

Danged newfangled technology.

Once I came home to discover the dishwasher had been running for about 6 hours only it was busted and leaking and it flooded our whole house. My husband was sweeping the water out the back door. But the upside was we got a whole house full of new floor for only the cost of the insurance deductible!!

You've angered the appliance gods again, havent you?

I have plenty of experience mopping up water lately. I'll take appliance failure over plumbing problems any day. Wanna trade?

Wait--I'm retracting my offer. I'll take the plumbing over major car repairs!

Well maybe karma will reverse itself and bring you something nice down the road...

TWO mini vans? Boy, you like living dangerously.

Check out the warehouse stores- and for that matter, froogle.

I told you!!! Remember I blogged that it was an appliance conspiracy!! The talk to each other, I know it, the voices in my head told me so...
