Re: Dishwasher fault – HELP

After a weekend of washing dishes by hand, last night I switched the dishwasher on an it started to fill. I filled it with dishes and it washed them perfectly.

Any theories ❓

Re: Freezer Placement

The original poster in this thread wanted to put an upright freezer in his outhouse but the replies talked mainly about chest freezers.
Someone told me that a self defrosting freezer was a bad idea because it needs a normal room temperature for the defrosting process to work but it is ok to put a manual defrost freezer in a garage.
I have just lost my big chest freezer which has been in my garage for about 2 years and was at least 10 years old when I got it second hand. It just stopped freezing and I lost a lot of food. Could have been old age?

I have another small chest freezer still in the garage – been there for about 6 years, still going strong. I live on the east coast of Scotland – it gets very cold in the winter.

Anyone got any ideas or opinions specifically about upright freezers in a garage or is the advice basically the same?

Re: Dishwasher fault – HELP

Thanks for your rapid reply.

Have tipped it up, no water came out.
What else can I try?

Re: Chest freezer not freezing – food thawing – help!

Thanks for your prompt response.

I have decanted all the food into my small freezer and a friend’s freezer.
Puddle in the bottom of the freezer and frost falling off the sides, so I don’t think it is re-freezing.
How can I be sure? It is a very big chest freezer, how long should I leave it running empty, to test if it is freezing again?
