I don't use my dishwasher much being by myself so I said I needed to use it more to keep it up. It'll take me a week to get it full, I don't wash my pots and pans or knives in it ever. The last time I used it the lights was blinking all over even after it ran and was finished. I tried canceling it still blinking like a neon sign so I Googled it and the video showed me how to reset the computer in it by hitting heat dry and normal twice then cancel twice and I be danged it worked like a charm. Keeping my fingers crossed but so far no lights after it finished. Yay me patting myself on the back.

Amazing, Joan!! I'll have to remember to Google appliances that stop working, maybe save calling a repairman/woman or buying a new appliance.

That's great, Joan.

My refrigerator likes to eat up defrost timers. I YouTubed it some years ago (I didn't even know it was the defrost timer that was bad) and there were plenty of videos that showed how to replace it. In my fridge, access to it is fairly easy. I must have replaced it 3 or 4 times, so doing it myself has saved a small fortune. hehe, I even keep a spare on hand.

Also repaired my furnace using YouTube. One of the most common problems with modern furnaces is a dirty flame sensor. Well, I was able to replace it myself (of course one could just clean it but the replacement was $9 on Amazon). I keep a spare flame sensor on hand now too.
