If you are in the position where you can repair an appliance, it is advisable to do so. Of Course there are scenarios where this simply isn’t possible, for example the dishwasher is too old to warrant a repair. When considering a dishwasher replacement, you should always consider its age and repair costs it may harbour. If you have owned it for a few years, and the repair cost is less than half of buying a new unit, it’s logical to opt for an engineer to fix it. If you are close to the 10 year mark, and it will cost more than half the price of a new model to repair it, you should consider replacing it. 

If you are enlisting the help of a professional to inspect your dishwasher, you will expect to pay an initial call-out fee. This fee will typically cover the first hour of the inspection, allowing the engineer to assess the diagnosis. After that, any time is charged at an hourly rate in addition to the cost of any parts. The repairs costs will, of course, vary depending on the issue that needs addressing. For example, the average cost to supply and fit a new pump is around £105. Similarly, if you have a problem with the motor, the average repair cost is around £140. These costs are subject to change due to inflation. 

There are a number of factors which should be taken into consideration when determining the lifespan of a dishwasher. Frequency of use, maintenance and repairs will all dictate how many years you get out of your dishwasher. A poorly maintained machine that is used daily, will decline far quicker than that of a high-quality machine which has been maintained and used on a semi-regular basis. Generally speaking, the average lifespan of a dishwasher is estimated at roughly 10 years.
