I have an 18" Sears Kenmore dishwasher, which I've owned for 1 year and two months. It never has worked as well as I'd expect, but in August it started making a grinding noise and it would not operate. I called in the Sears Techn. who identified it as a blown motor. Of course, he said my warranty had expired the month prior. Question: Would it be better to buy a new dishwasher or pay these people almost $300 to repair this one? Is there a better product? I have to have a small unit. Any other suggestions?
The dishwasher says kenmore but it is made by whirlpool or frigidaire. If the cost of repair exceed 2/3rds of the cost of a new one it would be best to replace it. Whirlpool makes good models. Their line of kitchenaid seem to be the quietest.

hmm difficult... just acquired a 2nd hand servis washing machine apparently 'working fine' plumbed it in, set it up, switched it on, wouldnt fill, hardly any water went in, so I decided to help it along by manually adding some as it was washing it on empty, this went on for a while washing it but the dial stayed on same setting (forgot to mention had to switch on from mains as switch broken) nothing changed so I moved dial along, though seemed to be unattached anyhow. The wash continued and glass door was pretty hot, also all lights were flashing all at once frequently, on green, eventually the wash light changed to rinse though dial stayed put, it didnt rinse it just washed and washed and washed and lights continued to flash. I switched it off at mains after about 3 hours. Help!
