    Went from "won't stop when door is opened", (switch is ordered 2dys b4) to "won't do anything" (light is now on steady}. I popped the top to nut the wires so we could run the wet load that was in it. I went to youtube when I saw the three wires. this was the perfect vid to get the answer. First one I clicked on. Thanks.

    Good tips.
    I had the same issue with missing screws on a used Whirlpool dishwasher last weekend we installed.
    The two that hold the toe-kick to the unit.
    I checked a hundred screws that I keep on hand and luckily the very last two that I tried actually fit!
    Like you said, the OE screws were around $20 each! ✌🏻to that! 😎

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  2 года назад +1

      That's a great things to have in a tool bag! A bag/container with a variety of screws. Just like with your experience, it helped me out quite a few times too. A pouch with random screws has been a great addition to my tool bag. I learned this from a senior tech who had half a bucket of random screws and nuts in his truck... 😅

    Two hunters were dragging a deer they had just shot back to their truck. Each one had a grip on a rear leg.
    As they passed by an old Indian, he commented that the deer would pull a lot easier if they pulled it by the front legs because of the direction that the deer’s hair lays.
    So the hunters each began pulling by the front legs.
    After a few minutes, one of them says, “Boy! This is alot easier". Yes, says the other one, but we sure are getting a lot further from the truck....
