Dishwasher

Well, the verdict is in on the old dishwasher. The rodent guest chewed up quite a bit underneath it. Wire, rubber hoses and plastic parts including the pump housing (that is what was leaking). The estimate for the obvious repairs to the four year old Maytag is $450. There may be more things wrong that he will only discover after he does these repairs and tests it. We can get a brand new Bosch stainless steel washer on sale for $599. I guess this is the way to go. It's only money.
