Repair or replace?
Dishwashers typically last about 9–12 years. Service documentation for this platform dates from about 2016, so the oldest units built on it are now around 10 years old. The age printed in the serial number, the repair cost and the condition of the rest of the appliance decide it. Use the repair-or-replace guide.
