Maintenance finally showed up to fix the dishwasher

Tweet

I called the management office on Thursday to get an update on the situation. She said that they would be here yesterday. Great. I was off yesterday so I was here when the head maintenance guy showed up. He replaced 2 of the spinning arm things and then noticed that the start button was blinking. He couldn't get it to start to even see if the spinning things worked. He turned off the circuit and then turned it back on and still blinking. He said "they didn't tell me it was blinking". Then he couldn't see what brand of dishwasher it was and asked to use the flashlight on my phone to see inside. Wait. What? How did you order replacement spinning things when you didn't know what brand the thing was? So he left and said "I have to go look this up". That was at like 11am. Didn't see him again. So it is another weekend without a working dishwasher which is a ginormous PITA for someone who cooks and bakes so much. I predict that they will just replace the thing. It was replaced in 2022 but this is what happens when you buy and install the cheapest appliances. The most-used thing in this joint is the dishwasher. We'll see how much longer it takes to get a functioning dishwasher in here. My bet is 2 weeks.
