Entire dishwashers are disposable apparently.

Dishwasher is probably 3-4 years old... came out of a friend's new house (installed by builder, friend upgraded to all stainless appliances. Got the range, dishwasher, and fridge as upgrades to old, mismatched appliances.) GE model but a nice one, three spinny arms, works well. Started making an awful noise this AM when pumping water internally but not draining. Looked the model up on Trible's - not a single mechanical part is still available! What the hell... So, question for the group - let's say I take it apart and find that whatever is making the noise is something that cannot be fixed without replacement parts. What dishwasher, then, is reasonably priced but is likely to still be repairable for a reasonable amount of time? thanks! nate

Good to hear there were parts available. My washer is a newer "efficient" model, about 6 years old. Basement flooded, that's what go it.

Hey, You're my kinda man. Our GE DW needed motor/pump assembly once in 20 years. I got replacement from eBay for less than 50 bucks including shipping. It is still running very well. No issues.

New units often uses less water and power per load but I am not sure of their reliability being all plastic, etc.
