Image
Is your dishwasher failing to clean your dishes? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Can’t remember or didn’t know there was a filter? You are not alone, many people don’t know that they should clean the filter periodically to keep their dishwasher running well, but it's easy and doesn't require any tools, this video will show you how . After cleaning, inspect the filter for damage and replace if needed, otherwise you may end up with a much more expensive problem like a failed circulation pump.

Kitchenaid Dishwasher Repair

You don't realize how great a dishwasher is until it stops working.  Ours stopped cleaning the dishes recently, the same day I got a flat tire, what a day! See my YouTube video on how I fixed the flat tire.   Here are videos that show how I determined why my Kitchenaid KDTE104ESS1  dishwasher wouldn't fill with water and order the replacement parts.  All of these diagnostic procedures should work on Whirlpool, Kitchenaid, Amana, Roper, Jenn-Air, Maytag (they are all manufactured by Whirlpool): I went ahead and ordered both the fill valve and the float switch as they weren't expensive and I wanted to be ready to replace both if one or the other didn't fix it.  I used these replacement parts: Repalcing the fill valve is quite easy and can be accomplished with minimal tools without removing the dishwasher.  Here is a video of how to replace the fill valve: The float switch is even easier to replace than the fill valve, all you need is a screwdr...

Repairing a flat tire with a plug

Image
Have you ever just had one of those days?  I had one last week.  The cherry on top was getting in my wife's car in the evening so that the TPMS could inform me that one of the tires was leaking.  Luckily, a hole in the tread of the tire can be quickly repaired at home for less than $10, a lot less than the cost of replacing the tire.  I created this video to show you how I repaired the tire so that you can do it yourself too.
