Appliance Repair

This is where we discuss how to repair appliances, large and small. We are not waiting for #right2repair law to be enacted. The civil disobedient practice of repairing instead of wasting and re-buying is welcome here. I will also turn a blind eye toward “piracy” of manufacturer service manuals that are otherwise unavailable to the general public.

New Dishwashers that aren't junk (America)? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Hey I totally get this, but no kids here. Also im not sure punishing them by doing a 1000 year old task we have automated is smart. They could use that time to be learning something. Not that I dont respect the value of hard work, but not hard work thats dumb.

Now if we need to dig a trench to install an ethernet line or some drain tile, by all means have em help!
