Inexpensive dishwashers-worth the repair?
Posted on 1/9/14 at 5:59 pm

I bought one of those $350 Kenmore dishwashers in 2010 and the damn thing quit working on me this week.
Most places a service call alone will run like $70 or so...and if it needs a part replace etc. we are looking at more.
Is it even worth repairing appliances in this price range or just get another "cheapie" until ready for the step up?
What's your experience OT?

Hello, I can help you out.
First it is almost always cheaper to repair.
(almost)
$70 to come out is about right (we are less) but I don't do company stuff on here. So I'll try and help you with it.
99% of the time a Dishwasher is considered broken when it no longer drains or circulates water. If these are your problems then it could be a stuck pump.
Most of the time the pump doesn't even hjave to be replaced.
If you would post your model number I can help you a little bit as far as what to expect.
You can also email me @ NapoleonTD@gmail
I give out free advice on here as time permits.
I would say it would cost far south of $200 for either a pump or a control for your unit. I know the standard Whirlpool pumps (which Kenmore use) are $45 (my cost Wholesale)
If you factor in the pain in the arse of installing a dishwasher and all, I think repair is better.
But if your controls are bad, then repair could get up there.
What kind of problem are you having and what is your model number?
