Dishwasher Woes

Our dishwasher is 5 months old. It has been a wonderful appliance...until, it started making a horrible noise a couple of weeks. No, this cannot be happening. This happened the same week my van door stopped working and we were told Brad needed to replace his oil pan to the tune of $400. Come on, we are supposed to be getting out of debt, not fixing anything that could possibly break. Well, bless Brad's heart, if something is broken in our home he studies and does everything he can to fix it. Late at night he spent over an hour taking apart our dishwasher. We find there was a small piece of plastic fork in the grinder. All goes well until I hear "uh,oh, I don't know where this part goes...." No worries, the dishwasher was put back together and it still made the same noise. Yeah, all that work for what? Well, this story has a wonderful ending. The dishwasher worked out the rest of the fork, Brad just fixed our van, and so far it seems his car still doesn't need a new oil pan just yet!!! Let's just hope this all ends out well.
