DR Horton Sucks, Part 3

Improperly made electrical connections are a pet peeve of mine, especially when they are in my own house with the potential to burn it down! This picture below is the reason our dishwasher quit working tonight. Notice that joint had been hot enough to blacken the insulation, which means it was hot enough to start a fire. The inside of the junction box had black marks also. (at least it was in a junction box!)

This is the second wiring problem I’ve found that has resulted in failure. Luckily, neither caused a fire. I can’t help but to think the builder, DR Horton, does not hire quality electricians, and they don’t properly supervise their electricians, and they don’t properly inspect their own work. Combine that with the fact they couldn’t figure out why the back door leaked for the first 2 years, and I am comfortable making the statement publicly that “DR Horton Sucks”.
