Welcome To Canada, Where Broken Appliances Get Better Service Than Broken People
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

It was inevitable, I suppose. After five years of labouring under the relentless onslaught of dirty dishes generated by a family of six (plus two dogs), our dishwasher finally snapped, “E25” flashing in angry red characters on the control panel. The wash cycle was complete, and the dishes were clean; but they were far from dry.
I consulted Dr. Google, naturally. I half-expected to find, as explanation for the E25 code, a dishwasher-generated rant; something along the lines of:
I’ve had enough of this crap and I ain’t gonna take it anymore.
Instead, there was this:
E25: Drain pump blocked, drain issue, filter clogged or pump impeller is jammed.
After a bit of additional “research” I was confident I could handle the repair job myself. I puttered around in the base of the machine, and voilà: error code gone.
“Fixed!” I announced grandly to my spouse, congratulating myself silently on all the money we had saved.
Forty-eight hours later, however, E25 was back.
