tried reading codes again, still get 5-1. the water sprays but no rotation. Would indicate a pump issue, could it be filled with gunk as many videos I've seen online?. I guess the next step will be to pull it apart. Parts are cheaper than a new DW, no budget for either with the holidays...

I've done the basic stuff, dumped more water in, made sure the water is spraying, plus some things get clean others not, so I guess it's spraying. When I add more water it will quickly pump it out then resume. It has a decent sized pool in the bottom so not a fill issue. Not getting an error...

Had this dw about 7 years best unit I've had. Up till last week I could count on one hand the items that did not come out spotless. Now half of stuff is dirty after the cycle. Ran it empty did not hear the "swishing" of the wash arms rotating. I positioned both arms horizontally and let it run...

Once you hit 70+ you are no one's target demographic. Sure you may get "senior living" stuff but that is small in relation to the 30-55 age range with disposable income to burn. Many, most - seniors are on a fixed income and are of little interest to major players. If you are worried about your...

That really is a very nice range. Are you just looking for info or parts?

I've been diagnosed with essential tremor along with Parkinsonian syndrome, std. P meds don't help me in any way. Taking only a few things, no other health issues, so in that way I'm lucky. Sorry to hear about your friend, sounds like he is having a harder time with his P. I've always enjoyed...

I guess I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I have a smart home, last time i checked I have 75+ items connected to my router, wifi and hard wired - lights, window/door sensors, motion sensors, thermostat, smart TVs, audio systems and on and on. All powered by a smart meter that I take great...

I have 4 low flow toilets and zero problems, 2 are TOTO and 2 American Std.. Never a clog or backup, don't even have a plunger. Stick with major brands and flush properly - press and release for liquids, press and hold for solids.

Channels works great with OTA, just need an external tuner and some sort of computer.

That's also what the 30 second skip is for. I have one button programmed for 5 skips and one for 4 skips, covers 95% of commercials. Channels DVR will also auto skip commercials,great little program. BTW, to keep my sanity 98% of my viewing is DVR'd.

Eddie - same here except mine say McCormick

TP- temp/pressure valves set an upper temp limit and prevent hot/cold shocks when water is turned on elsewhere in the house.

That's what TP valves are for. I'm in the minority here - my shower has 4 body sprays and 2 shower heads and I keep my water heater as hot as possible- 160 degrees. I enjoy my showers, especially on a cold winter day. I have a gas water heater and my gas rates are low. Plus my dishwasher works...

Phillips makes a great dimmable bulb in many formats that dims much like incandescent bulbs, the color shifts to a warm yellow. I've been using them for years.

I think I understand why you guys have a problem with lettuce. I generally buy the mark down stuff at Kroger's and it easily lasts a week or 10 days, but it's rare for it to be around that long as I eat a massive salad with dinner. If I buy heads of romaine occasionally I might buy a 6 pack and...
