Has anyone actually appealed a tax assessment and actually won (i.e. ended up with lower taxes)

I too have a brand new Samsung dishwasher that suddenly stopped working due to a water sensor issue. It turned out there was some dirt or food in the sensor and it was blocking the little float thing from moving when the water filled up, making the dishwasher think there was a leak.Source of the post Also the brand new samsung appliances that they had installed in the kitchen are nice, but the dishwasher that worked during inspection decided to not work when we went to use it for the first time. Per the flashing code on the buttons it says its possibly a water sensor issue, or a leak. I don't see any leaks underneath, but hard to say without yanking it out. Contact samsung as all the appliances are in warranty until May of 2021 and the soonest they have a tech in my area to come out is July 7th. *sigh*
They redid the house ... IE updated the flooring, put in new cabinets, appliances, new stuff in the bathroom (vanities, tiled the showers etc, basement is finished. Not new construction from the ground up though.I thought you said you bought new construction. I must've misread you when you were talking about your Zoom showing.
Yeah ours seems similar. I'm just hesitant to pull it out myself cause I suck at that sort of stuff.I too have a brand new Samsung dishwasher that suddenly stopped working due to a water sensor issue.

I used a few separate videos to help me fix it. This one shows the floater system:
Basically once I got the thing apart I could clearly see it there was some obstruction in there and it just took a while to clean it out with a toothpick. I'm not at all a handy person but it was a pretty quick fix.
It comes with owning a house. It just is what it is. You can have inspections etc, but sometimes stuff just happens after you move in. We got a home warranty but since the appliances are all still under mfg warranty with Samsung until 2021 have to go through them.I'm looking at houses now (first time buyer) and the thought of pouring tens of thousands of dollars into down payments and closing costs and facing 30 years of mortgage payments only to show up and have water leaking and appliances not applying makes me want to vomit
I think we may have bought the exact same house... We also had an older water heater that was on its way out and we also called Mr. Waterheater. They sent someone out the same day and had a new one installed in a few hours.Source of the post To Mr. Waterheaters credit I called at 8AM on the dot, they had someone here at 8:45
It probably was, but I needed it like right way. I felt trying to do with the warranty company and them trying to find someone to come out would have taken too long, even with the water shut off, and the gas line off it was still leaking a significant amount of water out of the top of the water heater. It needed fixed ASAP. I'm sure I could maybe submit a claim or something if I really wanted to.Wait, so your water heater wasn't covered under the home warranty, skull?
Depends on the warranty company. For 9 hundo, worth a shotIt probably was, but I needed it like right way.

Yeah I am going to email them and ask. Worst they can say is no.Depends on the warranty company. For 9 hundo, worth a shotIt probably was, but I needed it like right way.

The kangaroo is house hunting now (not in your neck of the woods). it is a savage business out there right now. You will get your $20 to $35k.Listing the house on Friday. Starting to see the light at the end of this tunnel. Almost everything is moved. Just need to mow the lawn, do some final paintwork, and then sign the contract with the realtor.
Realtor thinks we can get a $20k-35k more than we paid for it three years ago. Well earned commission if he does.
My sister had 10 offers on her townhouse, with the first coming on day 1. Her place is nothing special, but it's definitely a seller's market. At least on this side of the state.Source of the post That's exactly what we were told. Property is in short supply. Stuff isn't staying on the market long and competing offers are common. Not sure where he got the info, but nationally each listing is averaging 3 offers.
