Dishwasher electric panel

[Nancy]

Our dishwasher panel is not working properly. None of the cycle selections will respond to selection. It does turn on & go through a cycle of some sort. It this worth the cost of repair or should we go shopping?

It sounds like it is a problem with the cycle selector switch. It could even be a very minor mechanical issue. A replacement switch would be a lot cheaper than a new DW and probably fairly easy to replace. Your decision should take into consideration the age of the DW. 7 to 10 years old is the normal lifespan.
