When your Dishwasher fails to go on

Cause: Dishwasher door is not locked
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Open the door and lock it again, making sure it is shut and the latch handle is pushed all the way to "start".
Cause: Cycle-selector button is not fully depressed
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Make sure the desired cycle button is pushed in all the way.
Cause: Electric failure
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Check the fuse or circuit breaker of the circuit servicing the dishwasher. If the circuit breaker keeps tripping or the fuse keeps blowing, you probably have a malfunction in the home's electric wiring. If the dishwasher is a portable model, determine if the failure is caused by a faulty line cord. Also make sure that the wall outlet is "live".
Cause: Defective door switch
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Check If there is a button on the doorway, press it. You should hear an audible "click." If not, replace the switch. Some models have the switch beneath the lower-access panel doorway. Remove the panel and latch the door to see if this switch is activated.
Cause: Wires have come loose or are parted from terminals
Easy dishwasher repair solution: This is possible in time, because a certain amount of vibration is created when a dishwasher operates. Check all wire terminals to see that they are tightly capped or taped. Most dishwashers have wires terminating at a junction box. This may be beneath the door panel or beneath the lower access panel. Generally, both panels can be unscrewed and removed.

If your dishwasher doesn’t clean the dishes

Cause: The water is not hot enough
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Check water temperature at a hot water tap with a thermometer. The temperature should be 140°-160°F. If the temperature is too low, raise it if possible by increasing the setting on the thermostat of your hot water heater. If you live in an apartment where you have no control over water temperature, you will have to complain to the janitor
Cause: Dishes not properly prepared
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Some foodstuffs, such as cooked egg, are not soluble in hot water. These should be rinsed from dishes before they are placed in the dishwasher. It is also a good practice to scrape particles of food from dishes prior to placing them in the unit. If your appliance is equipped with a filter screen that catches food particles, see that it is clean.
Cause: Dishes not stacked correctly


Easy dishwasher repair solution: Dishes should face the direction of spray for thorough cleaning. See that they don't touch each other. Proper spacing assures that water will spread itself over the whole time make sure the dishes didn’t block the detergent door.
Cause: Insufficient detergent, old detergent or the wrong kind of detergent
Use only an approved dishwasher detergent. Detergents for clothes washers won't work. Detergent that has been kept too long loses potency. Use fresh detergent. If you live in an area that has "hard" water, you will probably have to use more detergent than otherwise.
Cause: Spray arm is blocked
Easy dishwasher repair solution: Check to see if a dish or utensil is preventing spray arm movement.

THE TOP 4 ESSENTIAL KITCHEN APPLIANCES for TODAY'S MODERN KITCHEN

With today's busy lifestyle there are some essential kitchen appliances that help to make life easier.  Here is some information on the top 4 essential kitchen appliances that no modern kitchen should be without.
The modern kitchen has come a long way since our grandmothers' day. In the 1950s, kitchen appliances were a status symbol and were just becoming readily available to the average home cook. Having a blender or toaster was common enough, but other appliances were considered a splurge and not necessary to being a good home cook. Your grandmother likely still made a lot of her own bread and she kneaded it by hand, on her kitchen counter. Today, times have changed, and even the sparsest kitchen has basic tools to accommodate home cooking. Here are some of the most essential for modern cooks.


Stand Mixer


The stand mixer has been an icon of modern cooking technology since our grandmothers' day. However, it wasn't until several decades later that prices came down and they began to be a common wedding gift for new couples. The stand mixer is an amazing kitchen appliance that really does it all. Of course, basic mixing tasks are a cinch for this tool. From whipping perfect meringue to kneading bread dough, the attachments allow a full range of tasks to be accomplished. In addition, modern mixers are expandable. With the right additional tool, modern cooks can grate, slice, grind and even make pasta on their stand mixer.

Blender

Even though this is a tool that even grandma was familiar with, the blender is still quite useful in modern kitchens. This appliance is most often used for things like mixing drinks and making smoothies. However, it is also great for pureeing and making sauces. Blenders vary quite a bit in quality, so read reviews and check features before buying. Surprisingly, you don't have to spend a lot to get a good quality blender. Some of the highest rated models sell for under one hundred dollars.

Microwave


Almost no modern kitchen is without the presence of the quick-cooking microwave oven. This appliance was largely perfected in the 1980s, and by the 1990s, they were in almost every kitchen in the country. As home cooks became more familiar with this appliance, methods and cooking utensils were developed that allowed the cook to use it to its fullest potential. In addition, the convection microwave oven was introduced, which offered the ability to cook more like a conventional oven, but much faster. Still, many home cooks still use this indispensable appliance mostly for reheating food, thawing, or simple tasks like popping popcorn.


Food Processor

The last appliance that is found in most home kitchens is a food processor. This multi-purpose tool is the multi-tasker of the kitchen crew. Food processors can be used in place of several other kitchen appliances, including the stand mixer and BLENDER. However, each has its own place in the kitchen roundup. The food processor is the king of chopping, grating, and blending more solid ingredients. Tasks that would throw a blender don't faze the food processor. Some people have even been known to mix bread dough via the food processor, though the stand mixer probably does a better job of this task. Read your manual and experiment with your food processor for best results.
