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.

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 have one hard requirement and one soft for my new dishwasher hunt.

Hard requirement is no connectivity. I don't need to remotely start my dishwasher and I don't need to know when it's done.

Soft requirement is that I'd like the door to pop open when done so it can dry better.

Every Samsung I've seen has connectivity and no door pop.
