Repair or Replace?

[Kazmar]

Honestly you can pick up a great washing machine these days for what its going to cost to repair your old one
Plus I find once something a washing machine is stuffed once, you have nothing but trouble a few months down the track. And end up having to buy a new one anyway
At least with a new one you get another 2-5yrs warrenty

We have an LG that we bought 5 years ago and is still going strong. Never had a prob with it (touch wood)

Might be best to look at what another brand would be brand new and then weigh up repair vs new one

Another angle you may not have thought about - the environmental impact one. Replacing an otherwise good appliance vs spending a few dollars to fix it. Bearing in mind I know how much it must SUCK to think about spending almost as much on a new dishawsher as fixing the old, I would lean towards repair.
