Well, as in every household, appliances do quit working and we need to replace them.
Such was the case with our Miele USA dishwasher that we installed on October 19, 1998 so it had held up for quite a while.
We did manage to keep it going, a cycle took hours longer to complete and finally it no longer did drain.
So on December 28, 2015 the delivery truck rolled in and we helped unload our new Miele Dishwasher.
Yes, husband Pieter was a pilot car in our little Toyota RAV4, to guide this 18-wheeler into our subdivision.
But we were happy, after Christmas and now we finally would get our new Miele Dishwasher!
Here it is, out of the crated box and in front of the defect one.
You can see a tea towel hanging over the chair, finally we would get relief from hand washing everything.
All excited!
ENERGY GUIDE looking really good!
It is an Energy Star appliance.
BUT... this one did not work!
Poor husband Pieter took it out and in about three times and we video taped the water flow, because the Miele people in Boca Raton, Florida thought there is not enough pressure or water volume.
Once they received the video, they were convinced.
Once they received the video, they were convinced.
They promised to ship another one...
That was not a happy ending of 2015!
Will be continued; stay tuned.
Will be continued; stay tuned.

Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteJa, daß kann man wohl sagen!
Lieber Gruß,
Mariette
Wat een wagen zeg ,maar neem aan dat het probleem toch gauw was opgelost ...
ReplyDeleteFijn weekend,Joan.
Beste Joan,
DeleteNou ja 'gauw', we hadden een perfect werkende vaatwasser drie weken later...
Is alweer vergeten, maar was geen leuke tijd!
Liefs,
Mariette
Dat is inderdaad een reusachtige vrachtwagen voor een vaatwasser. Vreemd dat hij niet werkte. Neem aan dat je wel een adere hebt gekregen?
ReplyDeleteBeste Marian,
DeleteHet is zowat de equivalent van jullie Van Gent & Loos. Zo worden grote en met name zwaardere vrachten bezorgd hier in de USA. Altijd in zo'n enorme 18-wheeler.
Liefs,
Mariette
What a disappointment. I hope by now you have one that is working.
ReplyDeleteOhhh noo how frustrating! I'm sorry you got a defective one, Mariette :-( I hope you got a replacement soon.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds the original one lasted very long. We had to replace dishwasher once before. I really didn't like hand washing everything. It was very tiring. Fortunately, the new one arrived fairly quickly :-)
Wat een pech. Komt er zo'n enorme vrachtwagen en bezorgd hij een defecte afwasmachine. Ik was alles met de hand. Mijn keuken is te klein voor een vaatwasser. Dan hou ik geen kastruimte meer over. Ik ben gewend aan "ouderwets" afwassen. Gelukkig zijn we meestal maar met twee personen, dus dan valt het wel mee.
ReplyDeleteSeit 1998 - das war ja eine sehr lange Haltbarkeit. Unsere hielten immer nur wenige Jahre. Kein Wunder bei den vielen Personen, die Maschinen liefen mehrmals täglich. ;-) Inzwischen ist es ja ein wenig anders geworden. Ich denke, Ihr habt aber inzwischen auch eine funktionierende Spülmaschine? 2015 ist ja schon eine Weile her.
ReplyDeleteWas weiße Hosen betrifft, habe ich Dir dort noch geantwortet, liebe Mariette. Nicht wenige Frauen haben da stärkere Probleme. Aber gut, wer das nicht kennt .... das ist so ähnlich wie nach Geburten und da helfen alle Vorlagen und Unterbekleidungen nichts. Vor allem, wenn das Problem plötzlich und außerhalb der Zeit auftritt. Dunkle Kleidung ist da um vieles vorteilhafter, denn auf Weiß sieht ja sofort alles. ;-)
Liebe Grüße
