We have a top loader. Cant remember the brand right now but it was expensive. Just about right on target at 5 years old we started having problems. Our local appliance guy retired so I didnt know whom to call. The code came up a pump problem. So I went online and figured how to get to the pump. Lo and behold the screws came out of the mounting bracket, the pump was bouncing around and the wire broke. Put a connector and better screws and it worked like a charm. Figured I saved at least $125. Then the door lock switch went bad. I had a new appliance guy looking at my crapped out dish washer and asked him to take a look at the washer. He didnt even want to fool with it. Said it was time to replace as it was over 5 yo. Again, did a bit of online research, and ordered a new switch. $65 later, an hour to install and it has been working fine since.
