Dishwasher Blues

Unbelievable. We've been living without a dishwasher for months now. Our old one that came with the house stopped working. So, we bought a new one. I was forced to install it, and when I was done, it didn't work either. We bought a volt meter and discovered there was no juice in the wire leading to it. So, we had to get an electrician out.

We waited way longer than we should have, as we always do, because repairmen are usually expensive. But finally, we got one out this morning. He looked for a few seconds, then said, "did you know your dishwasher is on a switch? This light switch here turns the power on and off to the dishwasher, and it's turned off."

So, we've been living without a dishwasher for months, and even bought a whole new one which wasn't cheap, because the switch that didn't seem to do anything had turned our dishwasher's power off.
