What's That Smell...?

It's my dishwasher! My White-Westinghouse dishwasher has washed it's last dish, sadly. I had a repairman out and he assessed the situation to be that the motor was broken. A repair would cost about 80% of just buying a new one. I have no reason to doubt him as his company does not sell dishwashers, only service.

I have no idea how old my dishwasher is. It came with the house which I bought in 1999.

The encouraging thing is that he said they really make good dishwashers now - built like tanks and very efficient. He recommended to stay with the big four manufacturers: Westinghouse, GE, Whirlpool and Maytag. Truth be told, I really don't use it that much, but it does come in handy during party cleanup and I know that my housekeeper appreciates it. I suspect I'll buy one of the cheaper ones among the good brands.

If anyone has any recommendations, please send them to me here. I'll probably hit the stores tomorrow.
