Shoutout to the technician here who said to check the knockout plug on the disposal!
No shit, I've never had a call that required me to look at the knockout plug on the garbage disposal!
In the last week, I've seen 6 different households with that issue! Dishwasher won't drain? I'm checking that plug first!
So thank you. An entire first year, no knockout plugs. And then I read your comment on a random post and now I'm the knockout king 🤴

What are we liking for meters?
What's up team? Curious how others feel as all tools are a personal choice. Ive always used a fluke 117 and a separate clamp on with temp probe just because I already owned them when I got into the trade. However as my neck and shoulders age Im trying to minimize daily carry and downsize the bag. Ive tried a coworkers UEI which I dont really like. Maybe its just getting used to it. Looking at a smaller Fieldpiece clamp on with temp probe seems nice and does what we need. Going to carry my buddy's UEI the rest of the week to see if I like it any better. I don't mind spending money on tools. Cheers. May all of your calls today be customer ed and turning the icemaker on.
Edit: good chat lads. I picked up a fieldpiece 440. Its not low impedance but I've a stray voltage adapter if I think i need it. Might still run the UEI for a few more days. Happy to share thoughts after a while if anyone is interested. Here's to a No Add On Friday.

What's the craziest thing you've seen in the field?
Here's a butter knife and a butcher knife I pulled out of a Samsung dryer blower wheel.

Full frost pattern plus ice ball?
Normally the ice ball is a give away of a sealed system issue but the full frost pattern/ over frost has me second guessing. Evap fan and heater work, defrost thermostat closed. Whirlpool GB2FHIDXWQ05

Electrolux service tips down?
Hey guys,
I've paid for a subscription from this website. It's been down for a week? Anyone know what's going on?
Everytime I try it just says 'your connection is not private'

2 Whirlpool dishwashers, no heat, same building
I have 2 whirlpool dishwashers in the same building
Both no heat
Element has continuity
Thermal fuse has continuity
Neither are showing 120v, both showing like 14-30 volts when heater is selected to be turned on
This tells me control not sending voltage to element?
Anything else? Find it odd that it’s 2 suites in the same building same floor same model
