Re: Dishwasher Broken, Fix or Replace?
Never owned one, never used one, I do most of the dishwashing in our place (don't tend to cook or buy groceries so it's a fair swap) and I'm happy with that, keeps my hands lovely and supple too ... but not subtle ...
Can't afford the excess water usage either, being on tank water and all ...

It cost about $50 for the motor and $40 for the armature. Take it slowly and they are incredibly simple to fix. The problem was caused by a piece of broken glass getting into the armature a couple of years ago. If I'd changed the armature then, I would have saved $50 on the motor.

Probably about $120 for new electronic board, and if you can change a tap washer then can fix a dishwasher, they are very simple.
