Looks like it is working again…

Hope it lasts another good while. Not many people have ASKO anymore. It is a high end brand that has competition from Bosch and Miele these days. The repair guy told Vito it was the hardest brand to work on. I am just glad to have him able to work on it at all. He had a bit of a hiccup when he could not find a screw or something. Had to remove the back a second time. It was in the machine someplace. I know he was glad to get out of here. Getting ready to test it with a full load in a few. Did a quick test yesterday.

We have been extremely happy with our 24 year old ASKO dishwasher, which has given us no problems so far. Like Deb says, parts are hard to find, if needed, though.

With the caveat of it only being a month in, we're very happy with the new heat pump dryer.
The efficiency step up is really nice. I really wish we had a better power baseline for the previous dryer.

I finally ordered a new light fixture for over the table. I found many chandeliers I liked but I couldn't commit. After looking for weeks I ordered this one today. It was widely available online with prices that varied so I ordered it for the least price.

When you want to clean you just roll the racks out of the pantry.
Maybe I've been in too any commercial kitchens.
Deb did I subliminally inspire your cart chose?

Maybe…I have been thinking about a kitchen cart for a long time. That one appealed to me the most.
