@p We bought our dishwasher for like $300 and the prospect of paying someone, much less someone incompetent like that, $200 to say it needs to be replaced is obscene.
A service I would pay good money for is the option to prepay like 50% (or even more if necessary) of the price of a replacement when buying an appliance for the present-day price, with a guarantee the exact same model will be kept in a warehouse somewhere and available when I need it for the remaining cost plus some fixed markup.
Combined with parting out the one that failed, this would basically be lifetime guarantee of having something working without new misfeatures.
@p promising new careers in dishwasher repair once this software thing finally collapses
