I was watching TV, and after turning the volume up really high so I could hear, it finally occurred to me...the dishwasher normally isn't this loud...I can usually very easily hear the TV if its running. So I called Simon and we both agreed that it was really loud. He wanted to take it apart himself and try to see what was wrong with it. So in the meantime...I had to do dishes by hand. NOT FUN!!
The saddest thing is, I really had to stop and stare at the sink for several minutes and try to remember how to do it! Normally I only wash things that can't go in the dishwasher, so just stand there with the water on and use a sponge to wash it and then rinse it. Having to actually fill up the sink, well that meant finding the little stopper thing! And thinking about organizing all those dishes to make it efficient. Blech. Luckily my 7 year old still thinks its fun to do dishes!
After all that, Simon couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. But it was still loud. And I decided I was going to keep using it even if it was really loud, b/c I can't handle doing them by hand until a repair person comes. And lo and behold, after a few loads, it sounds normal again. So let's hope we dodged that bullet. Its only around 3 years old, and we even had it professionally installed ;)
