When it comes to home appliances, most homeowners have an important decision to make: Do they repair the appliance, or do they replace it? There are many factors to take into consideration, such as the age of your dishwasher and the cost of the repair. As an example, Consumer Reports recommends repairing your dishwasher when the cost of the repair is less than 33 percent of your dishwasher’s remaining value. 

But there’s more to consider than just price. Some households prefer to repair their appliances because they want to keep them out of the dump. The Environmental Protection Agency reported in 2018 that 57.1 million tons of waste was generated from large appliances. Not to mention, you could be without a dishwasher for some time depending on supply-chain disruptions. These delays are not unusual these days. 

Here are some factors to take into account when making the choice between a repair or replacement: 

• Type of repair. The biggest factor is the type of repair your dishwasher needs. If it's something simple and inexpensive, such as a broken door latch or seal, a repair will be your most economical option. 

• Repair cost. The best way to know what your repair will cost is by scheduling an estimate. The cost of the repair should be less than 50 percent of what it would cost to buy a new model. 

• Warranty. If your dishwasher is new and still has a warranty, a repair is your best option. The length of your warranty depends on the manufacturer and whether you chose an extended warranty. 

• Age. If your dishwasher is under 8 years old, it’s worth calling a dishwasher repairman. Newer dishwashers are only built to last about 10 years, so it’s not worth fixing them once they’re over 9.

When you call Mike’s Appliance Repair for an appointment, we’ll send out one of our highly trained techs to diagnose the problem. Our locally owned and operated business takes pride in delivering accurate, honest feedback to our customers. We will let you know if you are better off with a repair or replacement. 

Here are some of the dishwasher problems that we most commonly address: 

• Dishes aren’t coming out clean. This could be due to low pressure from the spray arms, problems with the components or buildup inside the unit.

• Dishwasher is not starting. If your dishwasher won’t turn on, the wiring could be damaged, or there may be a problem with your door. 

• Water filling too much or too little. It’s not uncommon to see dishwashers that fill too little or too much. This often has to do with a defective water inlet valve or float switch. Both are repairable.

• Dishwasher is leaking. Water leaks from a dishwasher are often caused by cracks or damage to the appliance’s drainage hose or gaskets. A quick replacement of these parts will do the trick! 

• Dishwasher won’t drain. If your dishwasher isn’t draining properly, it can flood and cause damage. Fortunately, this problem can be fixed with a new check valve, drain sump or motor. 

• Dishes won’t dry. Sometimes, we get calls from customers saying that their dishes are not drying. In this instance, it’s typically the heating element that needs replacing.
