A minor gripe

[Forgalspop]

Our 17 year old dishwasher went out shortly before Labor day. So I ordered one from Home Depot during the Labor Day sale. It finally arrived at our house today.

So when I ordered it I did not order the "Installation Package". My thinking is I would use the previous water line that ran from the kitchen sink hot water line and cord from the old dishwasher. Well, the new one has a different water inlet setup and you almost have to purchase the kit that has a special elbow for the water hook up. So, I guess I will be headed to Home Depot tomorrow to purchase the "installation kit". It would be nice if the manufactures just kept it simple stupid with a standardized setup! Progress!!!!

That's my gripe today!

Kind of like when you buy a new cell phone, you mostly have to replace the charging cable. Why can't they be universal? We all know why. It's all about the $$.

Mine took a clothes washer hose with metal 90 bend one end to feed it into the bottom inlet.

I learned this several years ago when my dishwasher bit the dust.

Pretty frustrating. I feel your pain.

When ours quit I went to Hawn Appliances bought a new one with installation. They came out, removed the old one, installed the new one and hauled the old one off while I sat on the couch.

Some of us are slow learners.

Happy to report the new dishwasher is installed and much quieter than the old one. No drips, leaks, or problems. Ended up replacing the hot water shut-off valve at the same time replacing the supply hose and drain hose. All good!

A little shout out to xseler. he sent a PM offering a free elbow connection for the dishwasher hookup. Was not able to connect with him, but appreciated the offer. There are some good dudes here on OSA. Another one to add to your potential bug out friends!
Thanks! xseler
