The Maytag dishwasher in our home was installed in 2008 and has stopped responding to the control touchpad. The owner's manual was no help.
Service calls in our area run $130-$140 for the call itself.
Mr. A. wants to skip the repair step and replace the dishwasher. A new one, installed, would run about $750.00.
We got an offer from Maytag for a repair/replace agreement for 2 years for $274.95. Meaning, if they can't fix the dishwasher, they'll replace it.
Meanwhile, we are seriously thinking about putting our house on the market next Spring. But it would probably take a year to sell.
What would you do in our situation? Repair? Replace? Buy the insurance and then call in the repair person?
Thanks,
Amethyst
