Dishwasher 22yrs old. Now when part way through hot wash it sticks in the one place and keeps washing. Moving the control knob slightly makes no difference. Would it be worth repairing, or is it time to say thank you and replace

Maybe not heating water. Could be something minor or could be major and not worth the money. Nobody can say without looking and testing it. You have to decide if you want to spend some money to get it checked out properly. Have seen many times where someone has assumed it will be expensive and decided they would just get a new appliance, only to find out afterward it was something quite simple to fix.

I wouldn't.

Sounds like what the controller interior itself just needs a lube with WD-40 or CRC-56 or such-like? I would try that first.

No they won't. But it may be uneconomical to repair. You pay the callout fee anyway. you could try might be something cheap.

You have had a very good run from it. Time for a new one.

Thank you all for your comments. It seems to have got over its hissy fit and is now working normally. For how long, time will tell

Goodness 22 years. Our Bosch one, or should I say our 3rd seems to last about 4 before dying - thankfully they just keep sending new ones to replace the old ones . You have had a good run that's for sure

I paid $40 for a serviceman to check out our washer, and another $120 to fix it.
It’s lasted another 6 years
