From www.hometips.com: If you turn on the dishwasher and nothing happens: 1) Be sure the power is on, the door is latched, and the control is turned on. If absolutely nothing happens–in other words, nothing on the control panel is lit and there are no signs of life– the appliance may not be receiving power.

Some thought Vince Lombardi a cruel bastard. Some think the same of God today. Lombardi was the creator of champions.  Can we not say the same for God? I was struck by the similarities as I was reading David Maraniss’ biography of Lombardi entitled, “When Pride Still Mattered.” Understand that Lombardi took fallen-from-grace, perennial losers (the Green Bay Packers) and made them league champions five times out of the...

Do Not Overfill Transmission Fluid
Transmission fluid is like engine oil. If you overfill it, the excessive movement against moving parts may cause it to become a foam. This renders the fluid un-pumpable and won’t get to vital parts.  This in turn can lead to erratic shifting, oil starvation and transmission damage. It may also force the automatic transmission fluid out past the seals.
