I had meant to blog this before, but it got lost in a bunch of other paperwork and junk. I came out one night after cleaning up the cat cages, and found this under my windshield. My first thought was that it was one of those annoying flyers for some “service” or another, and I got out to grab it and trash it, but then I saw what it really was:
Made my night.
That means “Not Safe for Dishwasher”.
I was taking pictures for a couple of blog posts and found that I had forgotten this. It’s Audrey’s job to load the dishwasher, but she doesn’t put much thought into it. If it’s in the sink, she loads it. If it’s anywhere else, it’s invisible. However, sometimes I put things in the sink to soak so I can hand wash them later. If I don’t get them out before Audrey starts dishwasher duty, this is what can happen:
It’s a saucer for potted plants. All I wanted to do was get the label off. I couldn’t get mad though – I pulled it out, looked at it, and said “Not so super now, are we Mr. Saucer???” MUHAHAHAHA!!!!
I don’t think anyone from Maytag is checking up on things here, but I know a lot of customers and potential customers are. So, everyone, here’s some Maytag dishwasher updates:
My mom’s Maytag, about five years old, bit the dust. So did my friend Gayle’s. Forgot how old her was, but not old enough to die like that. Mine? Well, besides the same old crap, the piece that runs along the back and over the top rack won’t stay put, because the ingenious clip that’s supposed to hold it won’t stay clipped. We’re hoping duct tape will hold for a while and not mess up the dishes too much. The bottom half of the upper wash arm broke off. The plastic clips got brittle and broke. We ordered the replacement part, but this won’t be going on too long. You’d think that the plastic they used for moving parts inside a dishwasher would be a kind that stood up to heat and movement, but I guess Maytag didn’t. We’re just keeping it going until we can afford to replace it.
