Saw your edit; dude that shit blows.

 

How'd the UCA fail?

The long bolt broke that you need to fish out from in front/behind the spindle, or the ball joint?

 

Lmaooo

 

They all want some fiery latino in their life

 

Do you think I would be shooting myself in the foot by choosing to replace filters/clean units myself in lieu of $374.90 annual service contract plus filters times 2 units. Annual maintenance would be a minimum $869.80 to maintain warranty.I currently have 2 incurable terminal illnesses, full and permenantly disabled. Just dont want to freeze to death if unable to keep woodstove going long enough for nature to prevail. Sorry if this sounds morbid or offends.I have accepted my fate and am planning for worst case scenarios.

 

Let's just hope Moab LT doesn't turn out to be the same way

"What happens in Moab, stays in Moab"

 

Picked up 4 washing machines with clogged water intake screens. New screens .89 ea. now working perfectly.Consumer alert FYI if your washer blows suds it aint broken. Went back for the 2 matching dryers but they were already gone. BOO HOO

 

On the Bosch dishwashers. The 'common' original traditional Bosch d/w are like their washers and dryers and ovens, etc and way overbuilt. Like most things German. Now the newer simpler style Bosch dishwashers that don't sit in a leak proof floor pan, like the 400 or 500 dollar units at big box store are much easier to work on. They have more components accessible with lesser disassembly required. This newer style Bosch d/ws I've only had to replace drian pumps on. And many times with the drain error the sump just needs to be cleaned out.
Long term reviews like from Reddit or another source that isn't censored or whatever is also a good source of info

 

Word.
Folks just love giving away their hard earned money

 

Dude. Quit destroying your shit. That's gonna get real spend real quick

 

Oh this is the replacement t case already? My bad. Didn't know you got the replacement in already

 

Real First world problem IMHO. Cuba is a good example of human resourcefulness.50s model US imports as daily drivers for 60+years. Pedal powered everything and going back to red hot steel and hammer to create "new parts"

 

Tough type of life style for someone dealing with those types of challenges. Sorry to hear about that, but I can tell you're not looking for sympathy, just looking for legit advice. I don't have any experience with those but I'd imagine, just guessing, that part of that 12 year warranty on their end is being able to service and see the components twice a year to nip something in the bud before it affected more costly stuff. Know what I mean?

 

Oh this is still that original case that was giving you problems like a month or two ago? Or has it been months??? Time flies man, plus I was MIA from here for a month or two

 

Mmm rainbow wash

 

You'd prolly be able to find on a forum what the common things are that goes wrong or affects those. Maybe a mitsu tech or prev mitsu tech has shared that stuff or something. If I had that info I'd have no problem at all on skipping the warrant, well I never do warranty anyways but we're in different spots. That is a bit of dinero though

 

I memba when I was back east a couple years ago, the folks had a mini split thing and they called me freaking out that water was dripping out from the unit and they had no idea what was going on.
Looks just like what you were saying. The filters hadn't ever been cleaned and the condensate line was backed up. We got that taken care of and I made a little pvc attachment for his shop vac to suck out the line from outside wall where drain line ends. And that's kept that line from backing up again.

 

Mm parts stores

 

Fixing the no pass smog problem on your gf's car today it looks like?

 

How about these LG vs. Bosch models?

If only I could gen another "new" one of these KDC models that were made by actually Hobart. It was the Sherman Tank of dishwashers.
