Happy Birthday!!

F106Lady,
After I retired from the USAF I took a job as the service manager in a Home Appliance Store. I also doubled as a technician we needed.
As for dishwashers, a burnt smell and puddle does not mean your DW unit is a total loss.
First thing to consider is the age of the unit and the manufacture.
I have no rule of thumb on how I suggested to customers about repairing or replacing the unit.
I'd look at its age, manufacturer, the model (basic or upper-end), and what condition it was in (rusted racks, external dents, scratches, etc).
What you describe by a puddle and burnt smell sounds like the seal between the water pump and electric motor went bad.
I've been out of the business for about 2 1/2 years now and things do change.
If your DW is over 10 years old and has had lots of use -replace it.
The cost of a motor and pump is going to be likely $150.00 not including labor.
When I was the service manager and if customers were mechanically inclined I'd have them remove the DW and bring it to the store. I'd overhaul the pump and replace the motor and do the labor between phone calls and customer counter help. I was able to cut seniors, veterans, and low income folks a nice deal to help them.
What ever you do, you should consider putting in a DW drip-pan. This is a 3 sided plastic pan the if you get a leat it forces the leak out onto the kitchen floor preventing the water from getting under the floor and into the walls and cabinet bottoms. If seen DW leaks cause major kitchen overhauls.
Want any more advice just reply or PM me.

:patties_day AYE AN TIS A FOINE DAY IT BE WHEN WE GET TO WISHIN SUCH A FOINE LAD AS OUR PADDY :happybday :salute The Old Sarge

Thanks for the Birthday wishes lads. I always felt if you sneaked past birthdays without remembering them they didn't count.... guess that's why at 63, I feel 37.

I'm just thankful that the Good Lord keeps think'in that if he keeps me around long enough, I might just find a useful purpose to serve.

Birthdays do make me think how lucky I am to know so many fine folks... like the guys on this forum.

Jim Gier - It's hard to believe there's room in your heart for another stent because it already so full of concern for the well-being of others.

Jim Scanlon - You keep us centered with posts that make us think about things we need to be thinking about.

Jeff Shannon - You make us cry... from laughing so hard at the jokes you come up with.

lindel & genej50 - You keep visitors inspired to post more by replying when others might want to, but don't.

Then there's always folks who send me jokes via email, like Sam Brandt. He shot the CAM F-106 photos for the posters they sell to this day.

Sam Says:
I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends the other day. One is engaged, the other is a mistress, and my friend has been married for 20+ years.

We were chatting about our relationships and decided to amaze our partners by wearing a black leather bra, black stockings, stiletto heels and a mask over our eyes. Then we agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.

Here's how it all went.

The engaged friend: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and said, 'You are the woman of my dreams. I love you." And we made love all night long.

The mistress: Me too ! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, stockings and heels under a raincoat and the mask over my eyes. When I opened the raincoat he didn't say a word, but we had wild sex all night.

Then I shared my story: When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said, "What's for dinner, Batman?"



Then this one that has Father Flanigan rolling in his grave:
Due to the financial crisis, Catholic Churches in Las Vegas have started taking poker chips in the collection plate.

After the services, young men must take these chips to the various casinos on the strip and exchange them for money. these young men are called...

... CHIP MONKS
