Seal with 5 cents dishwasher

The drama started with crazy light games on ours dishwasher, Shortly thereafter, nothing at all went and we had to let a mechanic come. He found that the stainless steel floor of the machine has a tiny hole through which water escapes with every flush and paralyzes the underlying electronics. Probably a material defect or a small rust, which had increased over time. You could not see them, just feel with your fingers. He immediately had a "very favorable" offer for a new dishwasher. But we did not want to decide that fast. For 60, - Euro, he withdrew and said while walking: "There's nothing you can do, unless you know a hobbyist, who seals you the hole."

"Hobbyist" was the right keyword for my husband. And now that he knows where the problem is, he immediately sets to work. The room with the built-in electronics in the machine was carefully but thoroughly dried. In the hardware store, he got special Kraftkleber a brand company. It is not only waterproof but also highly temperature resistant. With that he closed the hole and lo and behold: After drying out, our machine ran like a one again. But not for long, then the special glue had washed off and she was striking again. This time my husband stuck on the lush glue blob a 5 cent piece on it. Again, dry the electronics and let the glue harden. After washing dishes for 24 hours by hand (Phew!), The moment of truth came: We turned on the machine and it ran, no, it runs, and runs and runs. That was more than 2 years ago and therefore we can pass this tip on with a clear conscience. It may also work with washing machines, but I do not know if the 5-cent piece might make stains in the laundry. But there are other coins or you take a piece of stainless steel. I wish you success!
