If you are in the position where you can repair an appliance, it is generally advisable to do so. Still, repairs are not always possible. On occasion they are simply too far gone or too old, so when considering a dishwasher replacement, you should consider its age and repair costs. If you have owned it for a few years, and the repair cost is less than half of buying a new unit, you should consider repairing 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 can usually expect to pay an initial call-out fee. This fee will typically cover the first hour of the inspection. 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. 

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, for example, will decline much quicker than a high-quality machine that is maintained and used semi-regularly. On average, however, dishwashers last around 10 years.
