We've got a Whirlpool. Its five years old. Keeping with my philosophy of no bells and whistles, it's bottom of the line. And we're starting to have some troubles.
I've had a rule that if a repair costs more than half the price of new, then just buy new. Cause after investing a good sum of money into a repair, ya still got an old appliance that may last a long time, and may not.
And I don't want to pay a repairman $100 just for a diagnosis, when I could sink that money into a new dishwasher.
I'm told not to expect as long a life from newer appliances.
