Plumbing: dishwasher disturbance

[azurelunatic]

I think it's trying to communicate! The dishwasher(s) in [my location] have been singing little notes that are doubtless meaningful if you speak the binary language of moisture vaporators, or whatever language it is that these dishwashers speak. I don't know if they're functioning, not functioning, in between functioning... what I do know is, they're loud.

Please send someone quickly to shut this thing off. At any given moment, ten engineers cluster around it, trying to figure out some way to stop the dishwasher's eerie, haunting song.

Purple: it's a Dish'wa'sidhe... it keens for the dead plates.

I told him he was the best [name].

... That's interesting. We have an air conditioning unit in our test lab at work that makes a harmonic when it starts it's cooling cycle. It's not a pleaseant noise, but at lest it let's us know that it's working right.

I have a few consumer level appliances at home that actually do play little tunes when they are finished with their task: The cloths washer and dryer both play happy, short, tunes at the end of their cycles. (said tunes can be turned off.) My hot water pot plays the opening to "ode to joy" when it's done with it's boil/reboil cycle. (I turned that on, largely due to my sense of whimsy.)

This was a random tune that had been going on about 4 hours at the time of the first ticket. It usually makes short melodic beep sequences.

Hmmm... Yeah, that's a problem. Hope it got fixed before someone took a fire ax to it. :D

Well, it was silent and wearing the out of service signs the next day. So one way or the other...
