What is the life expectancy of a dishwasher?

The average life expectancy of a dishwasher is about 10 years according to manufacturers surveyed by Consumer Reports, but some can last over 20 years depending on brand, usage and proper maintenance. However, most issues with the appliances tend to develop within the first five years. Based on our experience older models with less electronics tend to last longer and have fewer issues as a result. The repair cost can also be a lot less.

Is it worth it to fix a dishwasher?

In general, dishwashers that cost more are worth repairing over a longer period of time, because the cost of a typical repair is a smaller proportion of the value of a new dishwasher of the same brand. If the price of repair is less than half, the chances are it is worth repairing in contrast to buying a new unit.
