Dishwasher - repair or replace?

You sure about the gasket around the pump not being replaceable? We just had that done on our Kitchenaid last year.

I'm in the property management biz with 170 apartment and 20+ years experience. Before you go blow the high $ on a new machine, either internet seach the prob as recommended by a few posts, or retain the services of a repairman who has experience with your brand. Personally, I would go for the repairman 1st. For a good washer, 6 years is nothing. Keep in mind that your time is money too.

The usual reason why that gasket between the basin and the pump goes is because a glass broke in the machine and a piece of glass got in and chewed it up. Do you recall this happening recently?

That what I had read...but I could be wrong. I do see some parts available which would lead me to believe you may be right.

I'll check again.

I'd call some other repair places first, $80 sounds a little high just to come out to see what the problem is. I've found with my washer and dryer the guy waived his $30.00 fee to troubleshoot if I had him do the job.
