Kenmore Elite Appliances - Junk

After the refrigerator nightmare, the Kenmore Elite (LG underneath) dishwasher decided to flood the kitchen. The problem was a 10 cent gasket that LG probably saved 2 cents per washer by using cheap materials.

Sara helped diagnose the problem the day before our trip to Minnesota. Turns out it was a half-inch seal (WPW10195677) that surrounds the diverter motor. When we returned, I bought a part from a guy in Stirling VA who said "Yeah, the washers that come with them are cheap and are not really the right size, they leak all the time." Great. Now we have a new washer, a working dishwasher, and a warped kitchen floor. Thanks Sears and LG.
