Long story short - I've lived in my house for 12+ years now. Ran with the original dishwasher for about 7 years just fine. Replaced it with a cheapie Frigidaire (~$250) and that worked fine for about 5 years. Finally kicked the bucket about 2 weeks ago. Bought a Bosch last week, installed (Best Buy contractor) on Saturday (2/14). Worked for one day, now it will not power on at all.
The only troubleshooting I have done is check the breaker in the basement (for both units, we just figured the old dishwasher was dead and never did bother troubleshooting it). While the old dishwasher had the same "no power" issue, there was power going to the unit (based solely on the installers testing of the line to ensure we flipped the right circuit to cut power)
So - before I go to Best Buy / Bosch and say I got a bad dishwasher, I want to be sure I don't have some faulty electrical. What should I be checking for? What is considered an appropriate voltage from the wall? I've run into other areas of the house that appear to have some backfeed into the neutral. Should I check this as well? I want to avoid having a contractor come out and tell me I've got electrical problems and charge me hundreds of dollars to run a new line, or worse - tell me the dishwasher isn't covered under warranty because of this.
2 dishwashers go bad in 2 weeks. Related, or just luck of the draw? Thanks in advance
