Or a Samsung. (this is just a repair person, by the way.He doesn't sell appliances, just fix...[More]

Should I wrap these in electrical tape or some other kind of casing?

I just installed my first dishwasher. It feels weird to leave these out like this under the sink. Should I be doing something to protect them?Question from user Electr_O_Purist at Appliances at reddit.com.Answer:You dont need the junction box if you have an outlet right there.

Old whirlpool worth fixing?

I am a total newbie at repairing stuff but my best guess is that my pump has been jammed.I was going to attempt to fix it in my carpeted laundry room (my home is extremely small and has no good workspace), however the drainage water smelled too awful to risk getting on the floor.The other option would be to drag it outside without a dolly, potentially spilling more.I re-attatched all the hoses and now I'm just wondering if it's worth messing with this thing or getting a newer set.Any input would be appreciated.Question from user Abysmills at Ap...[More]
