Is It Worth Repairing?

Kenmore dishwashers from this era are generally well-built units that respond well to proper maintenance and targeted repairs. When a dishwasher problem can be resolved without parts replacement, it’s almost always worth fixing rather than replacing the entire appliance. This particular model should provide several more years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Dishwashers

• Clean the dishwasher filter monthly to prevent debris buildup that can cause grinding sounds
• Run hot water at the kitchen sink before starting a wash cycle to ensure optimal cleaning temperature
• Check and clear spray arm holes periodically to maintain proper water circulation to all racks
