My dishwasher is dying. It's sad but true. Last night I put Christian to bed with his fan on and his door shut and then went downstairs to clean up the kitchen. A few minutes later I turned on the dishwasher and within a few seconds Christian came bounding down the stairs wanting to know what that loud noise was. "No sweetie, it's not a train that's going to crash into the house. You can go back to bed. Yes, I promise it's just the dishwasher."

Our dishwasher has been on it's last leg for about 2 years now, but lately it's been getting much worse. Of course, we continue to try to hang on to it because replacing it just opens up a whole new can of worms. Our house is on the market, so the appliances need to match, but I don't want to buy another almond colored appliance. I mean, what if we end up staying here? If I knew we were going to stay we would begin to slowly replace everything with stainless steel. So I don't know what to do. We're going to continue to put up with the noise for now, but in the meantime I need to do a little research in case we need to start replacing things and that's where you come in.

We currently have all GE appliances and since our house is 10 years old that means our appliances are too. I guess that's not too bad.

Here are my questions for you:
What brand of appliances do you have in your house? Specifically the dishwasher?
How old is it? (Because most appliances work fine for 5 years. I care about it lasting a lot longer than that).
Have you had any problems with them?
Would you recommend what you have?

Thanks
