Plenty of SHE53T55UC dishwashers are still working in kitchens that were fitted around fifteen years ago. This one is stainless, with a deep 23 3/4 inch tub, 15 place settings, a recessed handle, front controls and PureDry drying.
When one of these finally gives up, the washing hardware is rarely to blame. More often a control board has taken a power surge, and the decision comes down to the cost of a board set against what the machine is worth. We give that figure in writing before any work begins.
For an appliance you hope to run another ten years, an electrician can talk you through surge protection for its circuit. Lightning and the surge when power returns after a storm outage are classic ways for boards to be damaged. Other age items are cycle keys that turn intermittent as the membrane wears, and a lower spray arm bearing that lets the arm sit low and scrape.
Often it can. The usual culprit is a control board, which can be replaced. Whether that is worthwhile on an older machine is a plain cost question, and we give you the price in writing first.
It can help. For an appliance you want to keep for another ten years, ask an electrician about protection on the circuit, especially where the supply is known to spike during storms.
The membrane behind the keys is wearing out. Keys become hit-and-miss well before they die for good, and the keypad panel can be replaced as a unit.
