Hey guys,

Our dishwasher conked out (pump died, it was about 15 years old). I’ve already repaired this thing a couple times and it’s not worth it now.

Are any reputable brands around anymore? Aren’t they all owned by whirlpool?

I’ll pay the extra money if it means longevity. Budget probably $1200 or so.

Any recommendations?

    You can get a replacement pump for ~$50 and install it yourself in like 15 minutes. I did that a few months ago with my dishwasher. I was blown away at how easy it was.

    It’s probably worth it to do one more repair before you pitch it IMO.

    As for brands, I’d avoid GE. That’s what I have, and it’s been enough trouble over the past 6 years that I was tempted to replace it last fall (but I’m still glad I powered through the repair – seriously, it was SO EASY!)
