Is it worth fixing a GE dishwasher depends on age, type of failure, and cost of repair versus replacement. For minor repairs like drain pump replacement costing 100 to 200 dollars including pump at 30 to 60 dollars that fixes not draining and standing water at bottom, inlet valve replacement at 80 to 150 dollars including valve at 15 to 30 dollars that fixes not filling, door latch replacement at 80 to 150 dollars including latch at 20 to 35 dollars that fixes door not closing, and spray arm replacement at 50 to 100 dollars, repair is usually worth it if dishwasher is less than 7 years old and otherwise cleaning well, as new GE dishwasher costs 500 to 900 dollars. For major repairs like wash pump motor replacement costing 250 to 400 dollars including motor at 100 to 200 dollars, and control board replacement costing 200 to 350 dollars including board at 100 to 200 dollars, it is only worth it if dishwasher is premium model like PDT775SYNFS Profile costing 800 to 1,000 dollars new and less than 5 years old, otherwise replacement is better as other components will soon fail. If GE dishwasher is over 9 years old and needs any repair over 200 dollars, replacement is more economical as average lifespan of GE dishwashers is 9 to 12 years and new Energy Star models save water. Check warranty: GE offers 1-year full warranty. If repair estimate exceeds 50 percent of replacement cost, buy new.
