TITAM - Technical issues that affected me

Big fan of Seidio cases, but not that thrilled with the Surface for the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.  I decided to try an Encased Rebel instead. Construction:  Both two part outer hard shells with one-part inner liners.  If you don't like this, tough - it seems it's the only option these days for the larger phones.  Seidio liner is a little thinner. Size:  Seidio is a little slimmer.  The holsters are not interchangeable due to the difference in thickness. Fit:  Seidio case halves slide on easily - so easily, in fact, that the bottom half has detached and started to come off the case five times already.  The Encased has more friction, making it more of a job to take on and off, but no risk it will spontaneously come apart. (Yes, the Seidio does have a "latch" to keep the case halves together.  It doesn't work well.  I was considering using double-sided tape to keep it from falling apart.) Appearance:  Seidio is "smooth" and "s...

Problem:  For no visible reason, and suddenly, a Bosch dishwasher (such as a 500, 600 or 800 series, our model SHP65T56UC) starts with the following: -  No indicator lights or display -  Does not respond to buttons -  No beeps or lights of any kind and, most importantly: -  The drain pump turns on continuously, or cycles on and off over and over / periodically, with or without the door open, even though the machine is not on and has no water in the tub. This may happen right after plunging or otherwise clearing a clogged sink drain. Power cycling at the breaker does not help.  Pouring water into the DW to try to fool it also does not help, though the pump will happily drain whatever your pour in. Potential solution:  A small (possibly tiny) amount of water has leaked in to the bottom of the dishwasher, tripping the flood protection. Basically, the bottom of the dishwasher is the last place to catch a leak.  So there is a small flo...
