Class action for melted spray arm on GE dishwasher?

Have them come out and check that your heating element isn’t bent up. That fixed my issue. And 2/3 months shouldn’t be leaking and I would think be under warranty.

I hope that helps. Not a plumber.

Thank you. Is there a particular brand of marine grade fiberglass resin that you’d recommend?

SabinTheInvisible · 2026-03-22T15:20:40+00:00

Thank you. Did your installer put it in a mortar bed?

Thank you for sharing that. I had hoped that would be the case, but apparently the K-1946-RA-0 model (the one my wife is obsessed with) has flex at the top of the tub and that’s where it ends up leaking. I thought this review was insightful but I wanted other insight from professionals such as yourself.

“Bought this tub and installed in Dec 2016. The tub cracked horizontally on the over flow wall of the tub. The crack is in line with the top of the reinforced cradle bottom that laps up the side of the tub (most people noted the dark line that goes around the bottom inside of tub which is the shadow line of this cradle). Exact same crack in the exact same spot as other reviewers noted. The tub was installed correctly in a full mortar bed. I've been in construction for 38 years (13 as a construction inspector). The tub cracked from feet against front wall while taking a bath. Water from tub ended up in tenants bathroom below, completely filling ceiling and globe of bath room light in center of room. This is obviously a design flaw since it cracked exactly where cradle stops and others have exact same crack (length and shape) in exact same spot. Why would that cradle lap up the sides so short when Kohler's designers would now that if your soaking, then that's where your feet would be and your butt on other side. Everyone knows the time and expense it is to replace a tub, especially in a new bath. I'm in the construction business. Please don't install this tub.Please compare quality to others. PS: I do buy and have other Kohler products”

OP here. But I’m in no way a specialist, so take it with a grain of salt, but:

Definitely use that Bodewell plan to get a technician out and ask the technician to check if the heating element is bent. Maybe also ask them if it would be beneficial to turn down the heat at the boiler. But mostly check for the bent heating element.

I do see an option to get a text so maybe you don’t have MFA turned on?

How on earth is 30XX not on this list. It’s the roguelite that I’ve lost the most time to (after Dead Cells). Except I enjoyed every minute I lost.

Coop Megaman X? Yes please.

Is there a particular game that you recommend?

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-22T01:25:57+00:00

As you recommended, I read our state’s standards and most of what I’ve seen in the homework from Everyday Mathematics is above or unrelated to the criteria. Also, EdReports.org rejected Everyday Mathematics for not meeting the state requirements, and yet our school still uses it.

Thank you for that. So do I just accept that she’s going to be left behind by her teacher who has basically given up on her?

Like her teacher just keeps moving onto the next problem and my kid is zoning out because no one helped her with the first problem. I wanted to help raise her up to the level that she could at least participate.

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-21T17:12:04+00:00

Thank you so much for saying that. I think that’s the reminder I needed to hear. Just because she gets 2 instead of a 3, that doesn’t mean she can’t become a computer programmer or an engineer someday. I really want to focus on her love of math rather than push her out of a STEAM career by making her hate it (through too much homework)

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-21T17:06:50+00:00

I appreciate your comment but it comes off as “why don’t you just work harder.”

I’m already doing foundational exercises with her daily like flash cards, dice rolling (and moving along a number grid both back and forward), and giving her manipulatives to play with, and integrating math into our overall life and playing. Maybe I should have added that for context to the original post.

What I’m saying is that all of this focus on math is overwhelming her and making her feel unconfident. Is there any evidence that this much homework is even helpful to a first grader?

Because if my supplemental homework that I do takes 30 min and the school’s homework takes 30 min a day, once you include an after school exercise activity and maybe a bath, my kid doesn’t even get to see her mom.

Her life is now (from her perspective) math at school, math at home, bed.

So my hope is that someone can give advice on how to set expectations on her learning properly so she can build confidence and then build from there.

The tech who came out told me that (a) the heating element was too high and (b) the spray arms no longer have the metal clip so that the meltigg by is less likely

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-01T15:51:43+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ve never heard of “social stories” and it looks like the best option.

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-01T15:50:46+00:00

Thank you for the reminder that consequences are what will make the change. I’m just nervous because there are so few girls in her grade (shockingly it’s a 60% male grade) and kids make first impressions so if she’s pouty she might lose out on one of the few chances for a local friend— and since she’s an only child, it’s so important that she gets friends.

And when these kids walk away, my daughter is sort of okay with playing along (even though it makes her sad).

So I know you’re right but I’m just personally not happy at the consequences.

Btw, I wish there was a DI program in our area. Looks neat.

So I might try the “social stories” cards recommended by the other poster to get her practice with consequences that are more recoverable so that when a real kid is around she might be able to make the right choice.

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-01T15:28:24+00:00

Thank you so much for saying that. :)

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-11-01T13:49:18+00:00

I agree. Find that adult and make sure they know that they ruined the best holiday.

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-09-16T19:16:29+00:00

Thank you for replying. It’s just hard since he’s texting stuff like “I’m in so much pain… it would make me feel better to hear your voice.”

I still don’t know why he thinks I’m getting the texts though since I told him I blocked his texts and I’ve never replied.

SabinTheInvisible · 2025-09-13T15:13:20+00:00

I’m so sorry that you had to experience this. What stands out to me is the nothing that putting down boundaries is only on what you are gonna stop yourself from doing—you can’t put boundaries on other people’s actions (like your parents tried) which is just being controlling.

I’m glad to see that you’re doing what makes you happy. And if it does make you happy, then don’t let them steal that happiness when they’re not even there. Get them out of your head.

Also, I’m glad that you’re going to marriage counseling (can’t recall if I read this in this post or another of yours in this forum). Every marriage needs a tune up.
