That time a spoon saved me from replacing a whole dishwasher motor

I went to fix a dishwasher that was making a bad noise. The customer thought the motor was broken and would cost a lot to replace. When I checked, I saw a spoon stuck in the pump. I took it out, and the dishwasher worked perfectly again.

You call that a good fix? It just shows how lazy people are with basic checks. Why is the first thought always to replace the whole motor instead of looking for an obvious blockage? That spoon didn't hide itself. Most of these "easy wins" are just fixing someone else's lack of effort, and it wastes everyone's time.

Classic. Those are the best kinds of fixes, when the easy answer is right there. Makes you wonder how many big repair bills start with something small and stupid. Always feels good to solve it that fast.

Ever pulled a fork from a disposal, @kevin_hernandez83?
