Handy WOman

I just want the world to know that I actually fixed my dishwasher. BY.MYSELF. No male intervention with hand tools necessary.

My detergent dispenser broke within months of moving into the new house. (Yes, it's taken me this long to get it fixed. It's not how long it took, it's the fact that it is FIXED that matters here.) I went online, ordered the part, and it came in. It was a lovely looking accessory that made no sense whatsoever to me in the grand scheme of dishwashing other than it held detergent and released it at the appropriate time in the cycle.

So I unscrewed the door, took apart the items, unattached and reattached the electrical component from the old to new dispenser. (Yes Keith, I actually turned off the dishwasher's main switch by the sink so as not to electrocute me or Oscar.) The hard part was actually getting the door back on. It seems that a MAN designed the door frame and screws. What I hadn't realized is that there weren't just 2 sizes of screws, but 3. And after careful maneuvering and readjusting of the screws, I realized they were in alternating places, which apparently you must have testosterone to know this without reading the directions. But, when it was all said and done, the dispenser and door were put back into place, no spare parts leftover, and my dishwasher works.
