When a dishwasher develops a fault, repair is often the more economical and environmentally responsible choice — particularly for machines under 8 years old.
When to Repair
- The machine is under 8 years old
- The repair cost is less than 50% of a new equivalent
- It is a premium brand (Miele, Bosch, Siemens) built to last 15+ years
- The fault is a common wear-and-tear part (pump, door seal, spray arm)
When to Replace
- The machine is over 10 years old
- Repair costs exceed £150–£200 on a budget machine
- Control board failure on an older budget brand
- Multiple faults occurring in quick succession
