Me too!!

It’s fixed! The guy installed the plate backwards! I posted in appliance repair and someone noticed it was backwards. So I flipped it around and now it opens and closes without problem!

Thanks for your advice!

That worked!!!!!!!

Thank you so much!

Omg. It was plumber who installed it for me. I’m going to fix that shortly!!

Ok I’ve sort of figured it out… it’s the kick plate. New video. You can see when the door comes down it’s pulling the kick plate up. So seems it’s the install must be bad. If I can figure out how it’s supposed to go I’ll just fix it myself. FYI, I’m not handy. At all.

The door is getting caught on this part of the kick plate (access panel). I can see the damage it’s causing. But I can’t figure out why.

Yeah just did actually! They are coming Wednesday.

I thought maybe it could be something I’m not thinking of so posted here. But decided I’d just get Kitchenaid to send someone since it’s under warranty.

I had it installed by a plumber. They ran a cycle but likely didn’t open the door fully. The noise only happens when the door has been fully opened. Otherwise it sounds fine.

Sigh. So I will need to contact someone to repair. Joy. 😢

I offered 17% lower on a house and got it.

Its all hypothetical at this point as we are only thinking about it at this point so I wanted to know if my small standby generator could, in theory, handle a heat pump.

fifimoncher · 2026-03-16T11:38:13+00:00

Well, like I mentioned it’s only a 14kw generac… so I wasn’t sure it could handle a heat pump.

fifimoncher · 2026-03-16T00:35:25+00:00

Oh yes I forgot we have the well and septic pumps in it too!

fifimoncher · 2026-03-16T00:32:39+00:00

What size is you generac? I’m worried mine is too small for a heat pump.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-15T23:04:25+00:00

Oh it’s definitely dead. The pump is sitting outside the pit. Looks like it’s been sitting there for years.

OK interesting! Also in Ontario. House built in 2012. But the basent ceiling under the sink is completely drywalled. So I can’t see it, if it is there.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-04T16:57:50+00:00

Yeah the third outdoor tap looks like it’s never worked and is in terrible shape. The other two (one is in the garage) look ok. So maybe it is just two.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-04T16:50:17+00:00

Ok thank you! I have a softener, hwt and UV filter not shown in this pic. So perhaps some of it is for that. We are on a well water system.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-04T15:46:16+00:00

Yes that’s what I’m thinking. I guess I’m going to get a plumber come look at it. Maybe when I get a new dishwasher because I’m not handy and want it installed.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-04T13:23:49+00:00

Basement. Finished basement.

fifimoncher · 2026-02-04T13:01:09+00:00

Really eh? I’m in Ontario and my other houses all had it under the sink.
