Dishwater Motor

From newbe homeowner. I have a KitchenAid dishwasher, 8 years old. The motor has started whining alot. It can be easily heard from across the house.Looks like the replacement cost for the motor is about $170 and replacement cost for the same model dishwasher is about $550.Which is smarter in general, fix or replace?To say on topic, I clean some of my woodworking tools in the dishwasher ; )Thanks,Bill

Based upon symptoms, I think it's the water inlet (solenoid) valve now. Won't know for sure until I have time to take the cover off this weekend.

No doubt Electrolux has plants all over the world, but it is a Swedish company and globally is ranked as the 2nd largest appliance manufacturer.
