Our dishwasher had a week power (doesn't make any dish clean), doesn't dry plastic products (I don't know why), and color was wrong. All other kitchen appliances are white, somehow they put a black dishwasher when they built this house.
Well, couple weeks ago, its handle was broken and some plastic pieces came off. Oops. It was still manageable to open/close, but it was pretty annoying. John called the company, and we figured out the parts cost like $60 and including maintenance it will be over $100. It was a good enough call for us to think about getting rid of this one and get a new one.
I started searching how much a new dishwasher cost, but soon I went back my daily routine, checking craigslist. Several days ago, I found a nice&white dishwasher for sale, and it was a pretty good deal. I contacted the seller, and we went to pick it up.
Neither of us had ever exchanged/installed dishwashers before, but since my family is coming soon, I didn't want the dishwasher sitting in my living room. I searched "how to install a dishwasher" online, watched a video, and John started working on it.

Cutting elect cord. Thank goodness he wasn't zapped.
(we turned the elect off before he started working)
Doin' something.
Connecting a drain pipe.
Tada-
Yay! A new dishwasher!! I ran it last night, seems like working quite well. We will try couple more times to see if there are any leaks, and he will screw it to the counter. My husband is so handy! ;-)
