When to Repair vs Replace Your Dishwasher

Signs Your Dishwasher Needs Repair

A dishwasher showing small issues doesn’t always need replacing. In Allentown homes, common signs that point to repair include:

  • Dishes Still Dirty: Spray arms may be clogged or filters dirty.
  • Water Pooling Inside: Drain hose or pump may be blocked.
  • Odd Noises: Grinding or squealing could signal worn parts.
  • Door Leaks: Worn seals are usually inexpensive to replace.

If you notice these, try dishwasher repair services before investing in a new unit.

When Replacement Makes More Sense

Sometimes replacing is smarter for long-term savings:

  • Frequent Breakdowns: Repairs cost more than the machine’s value.
  • High Energy Bills: Older models lack modern efficiency.
  • Rust or Cracks Inside: Signs of structural failure.
  • Over 12 Years Old: Dishwashers have an average lifespan of 10–12 years.
