Notes

adjusting hinges, and re-leveling-extra labor beyond a standard dishwasher swap. Common repairable failures include the drain pump, door latch, seals, and heater-related drying issues.

Replacement becomes more attractive if the control module fails outside warranty, if there's recurring leakage into the base, or if multiple major components fail close together. Also consider noise and performance: if racks are heavily worn or the tub has damage, replacement may bring meaningful usability improvements.

If your panel is custom or hard to rework, that increases the value of repairing within the threshold.".
