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?

I got a Bosch 300 series with top controls about 18 months ago and it's been great. There's nothing else in a similar price range I would've considered buying. The only drawback is the drying of plastic, but all you have to do is open up the door to let it dry overnight or throw everything on a drying rack when it's done. I've been trying to reduce plastic in my kitchen anyway.

Another upvote for Bosch. Idk what Series/model I have but its around 4 year old and still works like its brand new. Pretty quiet, dries pretty well too. Only issue is plastics. Like you say, just pop the door open before bedtime and everything will be fine.
