Bought a Kitchenaid dishwasher about 6 years ago from the Sears Outlet. Paid about $450 for a $700 washer.

It's leaking water very badly from underneath on the left hand side. Inlet and outlet look ok, door gasket is brand new, it's level and from what I can tell it's not overfilling.

Here's the issue. The most likely problem now would be the gasket between the basin and the pump, which on this washer is a non-serviceable Bosch assembly. You have to replace the entire unit at a cost of about $175-200 for the part alone.

A service call is $80 minimum. Ok, there's a chance they could find something stupid and it would end there...but a decent chance the repair could near three bills.

Thoughts?
