Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
Dishwasher breaker popped a couple of times last night. Figured it was the breaker or a loose/shorting wire under the dishwasher.
I pulled everything out from under the sink and traced some wires, then took the bottom front plate off trying to figure out how to pull the dishwasher out. I suspected that was going to be hard due to the new granite countertop. Soooo... instead I just popped open the load center and switched wires with the breaker below it (both 20 amps, one just has the dishwasher, the other hall lights), done in under 2 minutes. Not sure if that was Smart, Stupid, or just plain Lazy.
We moved here a few years ago and had a lot of renovations done by professional craftsman (sort of stuff I enjoy doing, but was tied up at work and the spouse wasn't willing to wait). It amazes me how bad some of them are. While looking at the dishwasher I spotted a leak under the sink where the left sink joins up to the right sink basin. Turns out that pipe was cut to size, the wrong size. It was cut to the exact length to get to the fitting...but not so it would go inside the fitting. Only the little teflon ring was bridging the gap. That's fixed properly now at least. Well, guess I should run the dish washer and see if it'll burn the house down....wish me luck!
