Hi James,The dishwasher is bricked in? Sheesh, how did they even manage that?
Fortunately most things can be accessed by removing the kick plate.

Another trick to totally avoid the plastic drain valve is to have a 3/4"The only good thing was you had already admonished us to have tepid water
in the tank and that's what saved us from getting scalded as Bill stuck his
finger in the hole (it was just the right size) to stop the leak and I
bucketed the water outside.

and thanks to the television, one no longer needs to be in San DiegoTelevision: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Television (often abbreviated to TV, T.V., or more recently, tv;
sometimes called telly, the tube, boob tube, or idiot box in British
English) is a widely used telecommunication system for broadcasting
and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term may
also be used to refer specifically to a television set, programming
or
television transmission. The word is derived from mixed Latin and
Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek tele (ĎáżÎťÎľ), far, and Latin
vision, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first
person).
Since it first became commercially available from the late 1930s, the
television set has become a common household communications device in
homes and institutions, particularly in the first world, as a source
of entertainment and news. Since the 1970s, video recordings on VCR
tapes and later, digital playback systems such as DVDs, have enabled
the television to be used to view recorded movies and other programs.
A television system may be made up of multiple components, so a
screen
which lacks an internal tuner to receive the broadcast signals is
called a monitor rather than a television. A television may be built
to receive different broadcast or video formats, such as high-
definition television, or preferably referred to as (HDTV). HDTV
costs
more that normal TV but is becoming more available.
The end of analog television broadcasting
NTSC
In North America, the basic signal standards since 1941 have been
compatible enough that even the oldest monochrome televisions can
still receive color broadcasts in 2007. However, the United States
Congress has passed a law which requires the cessation of all
conventional television broadcast signals by February 2009. If the
law
is not changed again, then after that date all NTSC standard
televisions, with analog-only tuners, will go dark unless fitted with
digital ATSC tuners, and the spectrum previously occupied by those
analog channels will be auctioned off by the United States' Federal
Communications Commission for other uses. The analog cut-off date has
been changed by Congress in the past.
PAL and SECAM
PAL and SECAM are expected not to be broadcast in Europe and Eurasia
by the mid-2020s. PAL-M may have a similar decommissioning timeline.
The European Union has recommended its members to have closed down
analogue terrestrial television by 2012. Luxembourg and the
Netherlands had already completed their closedowns in 2006, and
Finland and Sweden will have closed down their analogue broadcasts in
2007. Meanwhile, some countries may have difficulties making the 2012
deadline.
Britain started its programme of switching off analogue transmitters
in October 2007. At 2am on Wednesday 17 October 2007 the BBC2
transmitter covering the Whitehaven and Copeland areas (NW England)
was turned off. The remaining four analogue channels cease
broadcasting in the region on Wednesday 14 November. The original
five
channels will then only be available in digital form, alongside some
15 additional free to air channels.

What does 50 dollars buy you these days that's going to last a month?It's really not that bad, considering you can work in your pajamas.
For example, one of the offers, the easiest and most lucrative one is
joining ebay and making a bid. I just bid for something i knew i
wouldnt win. I made $8 on this offer alone. This is reason enough to
join.

Don't bother replacing the WH drain now. Fix the clogged dishwasher

Replace that factory drain valve in six months when you flush the
WH for your first maintenance interval.
As for that clogged dishwasher, you'll likely have to break the

Hi hallerb,
I understand your point. But, from what I read, they used to be brass and
the manufacturers switched to the plastic for cost reasons only.
Also, I read a brass ball valve doesn't clog as easily.
Given our experience this past weekend, where the valve first clogged and
then broke off inside the water heater, it would seem to us that over
time,
the brass will be less likely to break than the plastic.
Of course, one reason ours clogged was likely the fact we never flushed it
so the sediments may have been too much for any valve - and one reason it
broke is that we were manhandling it trying to get the tipped-over water
heater back on the stand ... so you might be right.
I think I now understand how to replace the brass valve. In fact, a more
important issue came up in that our dishwasher suddenly stopped working. I
think it's due to the sediment being sent through the pipes (our shower
heads were totally clogged all of a sudden, with sandy grainy stuff).
I opened a separate thread on alt.home.repair to ask how to clean out a
dishwasher without being able to remove it (it's bricked in it seems).
I feel like "this old house" is attacking me so it's nice to have this
wonderful newsgroup as my friends to help in times of need!

Any good installation of an appliance like a washing machine, dishwasher etc
should have a filter screen / rubber washer fitted to the hose fitting to
the tap that controls the water to the appliance, with a bit of luck it
should be as easy as to removing the hose from the tap and cleaning that
filter / screen. There could be an additional screen fitted to the water
inlet valve on the appliance as well that might need cleaning so depending
on the difficulty on accessing the fittings, start with the easy one first
and test from there before attempting the more difficult one. If you have
cleaned out all the filters and it still doesn't work you could have had the
unfortunate problem of luck that it also failed at close to the same time
(It happens occasionally unfortunately) so good luck with it all.
