So we got a new stove, fridge and dishwasher last Thursday. The old fridge and stove got hauled off, but they wouldn't touch the dishwasher.
My daughter and SIL came over Saturday to help install it. First, we couldn't get the old one out. Many special words were said during that time. Then we couldn't get the damn door open to the new DW, so thought it needed to have power to it for that.
The hose to the DW wasn't compatible with our drain hose, so daughter had to run to the store for a connector. Seemed to work okay.
Got the water hooked up with no leaks, and power to it, and opened the door. Guess where all the directions were? And the double connector hose?
Finally, after 5 hrs, we fired it up for a test run. No leaks and the water input line...BUT the drain hose leaked a bit.
I'm hoping right now that, with the new DW in place, we have enough slack to the drain hose that I can pull the connection through to the under-sink cabinet, and be able to work on it there. Otherwise, it's disconnect everything again and pull it back out to get at the hose.
Then we had to switch the door swings on the new fridge. Stymied again! We're going to need a socket and breaker bar to loosen the screws. We actually got the top hinge point loose, but the middle one ruined our socket driver -- we used a channel-locks on the handle of the driver, and now the handle turns, but not the head.
Not quitting yet, but it made for a long weekend (other than the ISU game).
