Why not just repair it? It might be a truly trivial part. Bit of a PITA to access, but certainly doable.

Bosch.
We actually have two dishwashers in the kitchen, a Bosch and a GE Monogram, and the Bosch cleans a little bit better than the Monogram. Two dishwashers:

Bosch is always the correct answer when it comes to dishwashers that don't have tits.

Picked up a maytag last year for $499 very happy with it. Stainless steel interior very quiet cleans well and no nasty ass filter to change it has a propped food chopper. Also has a dry setting which bosche does not, that might be fine in AZ but here in humidity i need a dryer and don't want rotting food in a mesh I have to empty.

ITT, 87% of respondents will recommend Bosch. And they will all be correct.

circuit board is fried, $220 w/o tax for a new one. Not even sure that is the only problem. Not hard to access part but a new similar model dishwasher is going for $400 - $450. Like I stated in Original Post the washer is 11 years old, not so sure it's worth the investment. Not so sure we're going to reside here much longer, we will want a decent working washer for the sale. |

We just bought a Maytag from Home Depot. My husband installed it, loaded it up and pressed go. Then when back to reading on his Kindle. After 10-15 minutes, he noticed it had not started and he was pissed, new dishwasher not working, until he realized it was that quiet. It is a great machine. From our receipt, it appears the model number is MDB4949SDZ0, NMFC code (whatever that is) 119540.
I am sure you have seen all the Samsuck threads here on Arf. When we went to look, he found a Samsuck he really liked the look of but I told him Arf says no. |

But if you aren't stuck on having hidden controls or a 3rd rack or whatever, I think any of those models will get you to the same place as far as how clean your dishes get. I have some version of the 500. Picked up one with a built in water softener. Couldn't be happier with how well it cleans. |

Not that it helps your situation but "11 years" and "finally" should not be together in the same sentence regarding an appliance's life span.

Why not below 800? My understanding is the 300/500 have the exact same wash mechanism, just fewer options and styles. But if you aren't stuck on having hidden controls or a 3rd rack or whatever, I think any of those models will get you to the same place as far as how clean your dishes get. I have some version of the 500. Picked up one with a built in water softener. Couldn't be happier with how well it cleans. Ours look(ed) different that what is currently offered... Looked more like the Ascenta. I'd roll with the 500 I guess, but the 800 isn't that much more. Keep in mind this was 6yrs ago, I'm sure they have redesigned/changed. My 800 was purchased 2yrs ago. |

the average lifespan of a consumer grade DishWasher is about 9 years according to many of the sources I've read. So, finally is probably the correct term. Quote HistoryQuoted:
