What my dishwasher taught me about 21st century life

If I'd googled on "dishwasher won't fill" I'd have saved $60.
How to Diagnose Dishwasher Problems | eHow.com:

...Dishwasher won't fill Inlet valve or float switch is malfunctioning

Clean or replace valve or float switch...
A child's cup top had jammed the water-level float full open. The dishwasher wouldn't fill because its sensor said it was already full.

Easiest $60 a repair guy ever makes. They have to make a living, so I don't feel too bad that they didn't suggest we check the float when we phoned.

The real lesson though is always google first. I always remember that when my computer hiccups. I don't always remember it when the dishwasher is dry.

Don't forget.

Ouch.
