My BFF Rose is a FRIGGIN’ GENIUS!  I have gone almost a year without a dishwasher because the damn thing wouldn’t start and just flashed its boogy little clean light at me and as other mothers/housewives will know, “non essential” applience repair comes very last in budget after everything including croc decorations.  Needless to say I was unwilling to pay the 180 to have the guy out to fix what I knew in my heart must be a reset issue.  I tried to open the front up about 6 months ago to push what I was sure would be a reset button (because my instincts are inatelly 1980’s – button ya right).  I stopped when the groning plastic frightened me.  Yesterday during one of our triweekly long phone conversations I was bemoaning the plight of hand washing my dishes and it occured to the smartest woman in the world to just look up the make and model of my machine and see if there was any advice for repair/reset.  Alas, the folks at fixya.com had the answer and after a few push this button then that button combinations and two minutes of breathless anticipation, the little guy purred back into the land of the functional and I was freed from the drudgery of hand washing dishes (remember 1 have 5 children 4 kids and a husband who don’t like to use paper plates and cups ).  So to the great minds of history add Cacklin Rose to the likes of Einstein and Bell, Brazier and Eddison etc…  I say a heartfelt THANK YOU to my BFF/resident super brain trust for the internet search idea and for doing the typing too.
