My dishwasher suddenly started leaking. YouTube and a nine-dollar part ended the drama.
Whenever you have a home appliance that stops working, it makes sense to check YouTube. I often forget there is a massive library of people showing us how to fix most everything there, and I recently spent a couple of weeks fiddling with a leaky dishwasher. Within seconds of searching, YouTube gave me an answer, and I was able to source the part quickly. What I was sure would be a $200 visit from my plumber was a straightforward fix.
I've also found YouTube helpful for simple car repair and maintenance tasks. If one video seems confusing, look for another. There are usually many, and you can pick a style that works for you.
