Exactly. My granite counter top would be warm in the morning and the dishes would be dry, I could open the washer and some steam would still come out. Now it is stone cold and everything is just wet.

Some hunting around online by my retired dad has pulled up this piece here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/WD21X22276 which I can find online for less than $100, but that is already my tipping point for it being a "maybe" this is gonna work. My model of dishwasher is the GDT530PSD0SS. My dad bought a bitching BOSCH for their kitchen when they reno'd a while back and it is awesome. Crazy quiet, efficient, and does an awesome job so I will probably just go buy one of those. For something that is used every single day I think it is worth it to get a nice one. I was never in love with this Government Electric :bahgawd: piece.

I don't have that piece on mine, but we have the exact same symptoms. Online searches show that we're not the only ones.

I don't know that there is a good appliance right now. My best friend bought a Bosch a few years back and had to replace his pump within 3 years. My parents bought a Samsung 2 years ago and the drying fan has had a squealing bearing since new.

The dishwasher we had before this was another GE Profile. It worked great. Then it caught on fire and GE replaced it with this one.

I hope you will be happy in your new country.

I've been working through countries trying to work out which ones look nicer and which ones I could get a Visa in (assuming that I was coming at it as a typical non-EU citizen because nobody knows yet WTF is going to happen after March 2019)

Germany appears to be good for work and visas but housing is expensive and if you decide to become a permenant resident you can't keep your old passport too.

Got to wait and see what happens over the next 6 months but I'm currently crossing everything that there will be some sort of associate EU membership deal or some arrangement that will let me keep my EU movement and working rights. If there isn't then i suspect that other European countries will start putting easier requirements or deals in place to take advantage of the possible exodus of UK residents and deal with UK citizens already there.

A mate went UK-US and I spent weeks helping sort out, tidy up and pack his poo poo and get vehicles built and moved into containers, and its taken him close to 2 years to get everything sorted and I think he still has a container with some poo poo left in it.

Commie - If you want to do it, start sorting out your poo poo now!

I've been consciously trying to get rid of poo poo and finish off projects for the past 6 months and have only made a tiny dent on the list

Seriously Trump isn't the problem, the fact that people bitch and moan without doing anything is. Want to change something? Wipe the tears away and volunteer your time towards an advocacy group that has beliefs that line up with yours and put the graft in. That's what the right did and guess what, they got the candidate the wanted.

Directly? Hardly, but there are a lot of alarm bells going off that are being largely ignored or hand-waved away as inconsequential.

For instance, when we start hearing that the interment of citizens of Japanese descent during WWII is precedent for starting a Muslim registry you should absolutely be concerned.

Is there any chance someone can pull both front fenders off this for me (if undamaged) as well as the hatch (if undamaged, again)? And perhaps stick them behind your shed until I manage to get them, or stick them on a pallet? I will gladly pay for the parts upfront. If it'll be in your way sitting around for a while, don't bother.

There are a great number of other things I'd yank off that if I lived out there, but I don't, yet.

CommieGIR posted:

And still considering it strongly. We've both applied for our passports, and depending on how Trumps first year goes, looking at employment options and options for our house.

Can I recommend something? Move to a swing state, not Canada or Germany, unless it gets really bad. Which I hope it doesn't, but, welp, we shall see. Moving to a swing state is nowhere near as satisfying to think about, but far more effective politically, assuming we survive 4 years of kakistocracy.

Also, guys, donate to the ACLU please. I couldn't really afford it, but I threw them a hundred a week ago and will probably just make a habit of tossing them any spare cash I have every time I hear bad news for the Constitution.

So, I did a bodge on the drat hood release cable to get it back to functional, fixed the broken drivers' side seat controls module, and replaced all of the bulbs in the rear of the car- including the license plate bulbs, and the drat thing is still bitching about a bulb out. I must have a weak ground, but I can't find it- I've done the alligator clip test, and it's still bitching.

Maintenance came by and installed a new lock on my patio door. Yay!

Went outside for a bit.. came back in.. fucker wouldn't lock. Not yay! Spent about 20 minutes getting everything to line up just right on the drat thing. I don't think he tightened everything down when he installed it. Also didn't help that the door itself is beat to poo poo. Had to redo the alarm contact positioning on it too, alarm kept thinking the door was open after it was all said and done unless you left the door open just a hair.
