If you don't have kids just do the washing up yourself; saves water and energy (controversial), makes your dishes last much longer (as long as you don't drop them) and gives you a chance to stretch your lungs as you belt out "Sir Duke".

New question - is it worth getting my 5-6 year old £200 dishwasher repaired? It's a bit old-feeling, and it's now properly broken - wash cycle behaving weirdly, getting down to one minute and then the pump just sucks dryly for ever
Pretty much any appliance cannot be repaired 'economically' these days, i.e. so much less than the cost of a brand new replacement as to be worth it. Unless you do it yourself. And that requires getting the diagnosis right, getting the right parts first time, and not making things worse when you actually do the repair. Big ask unless you have little extra to do.
Things to try before you bin it however include checking the waste out pipe for a blockage (fnar) and running a boat load of dishwasher cleaner through it.

ANYway. New question - is it worth getting my 5-6 year old £200 dishwasher repaired? It's a bit old-feeling, and it's now properly broken - wash cycle behaving weirdly, getting down to one minute and then the pump just sucks dryly for ever. (A bit like my sex life?)
Previous to this, it has been getting slowly worse at washing; guess the insides must be getting a bit furred up etc. Bits of plastic are slowly but steadily snapping.
