Why do they make them so expensive to replace????

I hate this so much. Everything is disposable these days. How about instead of making 12 different models of dishwasher with slight variations, we make one that works for the long haul!

@jnicholes, I found the story buried in a Wikipedia article. I copied the story. Here it is:

An early 19th-century legend set in England also details the account of a clock striking thirteen at midnight and saving a man's life. The clock in the tower of St. Andrews Church in Plymouth is said to have mysteriously struck thirteen on a night when two strangers stood under it, one of whom was Captain Jarvis. They both remarked about how strange it was. Weeks later, the other man was put on trial in Bodmin for having committed a murder on that night, and, not knowing even the name of the stranger who had witnessed the clock striking thirteen with him, had no alibi by which to clear himself. Just prior to being sentenced as guilty of the murder, on the closing day of the trial, the judge asked him if he had any last words. He replied saying he had nothing to say except that he was innocent, and only one man in the world, whom he did not know, could clear him, for they two had both heard the clock of St. Andrews Church in Plymouth strike thirteen on that night in question. As he gave this testimony, Captain Jarvis, who had just arrived, called out that he was the man, and that the one on trial was innocent--after which he related his own miraculous turn of events that had brought him to the trial of this stranger, including riding a horse, not knowing where he went, which seemed guided to the very place of the trial. As he was known by a number of those present in the court, Captain Jarvis' words were accepted without question, and the innocent man was set free.[9][10]

That’s a very cool story!

It did the same thing last night. I’m gonna wait till noon today and see if I can get a video of the issue in action.

One thing for sure, my clock is breaking.

When is the last time it was serviced? They do need cleaned and oiled from time to time.

I don’t know. I do know that I bought it off of craigslist for $100. It was working fine then. This was back in 2017-ish.

This problem is actually fairly recent. It did come with oil, now that I think about it. I might be able to oil it myself if I can figure out how to do it properly.

Thanks. I will. I actually just caught something very unusual on video with the clock when I set it to 12 o’clock as a test. Give me a few moments to upload it. I’m sure you will all find it interesting.

There is definitely something wrong.
