Michael is a genius

Really, he is. Why? That will become clear soon.

We got up on Friday morning to find that our beloved dishwasher seemed to have bitten the dust. It died mid-cycle, was full of water, and the control panel would not light up. After some searches online, we found a forum that had answered someone with a similar problem for the same dishwasher that we have.

I posted a message asking for help (http://appliantology.org/topic/35872-bosch-shu9955uc-has-no-power/page__p__220562#entry220562) and the folks on the forum were very helpful. They asked if we opened up the kick panel and how the wiring looked.

Ah oh...
The wiring was not supposed to look all fried like it is above.

Mike cleaned up the wiring. Thank God his eye is feeling better.

Cleaning up the connections

Ready to make the new connections

Once he had it all cleaned up, we did a test run. It works!!! His patience and our good fortune in finding a forum with people who were willing to help saved us about $400 -- easily.
