Ours is old enough it is a top load. Those are hard to find anymore.

Now they are all computer controlled and an entire motherboard has to be replaced to fix issues.

Back in my single days, the house I bought, came with an old all mechanical dish washer. The timer control just died. I took it off, and went to a appliance parts place with the old one, and a model number of the dishwasher. The kid on the computer looked it up and said they were no longer available, and I was out of luck. Just then the "old grey" walked past and stopped and picked up my old timer and said something like "Wow an old XB22-A timer" I haven't seen one of these in years. The kid said they are not in the computer. The old grey said they were never added to the system, he reached under the front counter, and pulled one out that had a 1/4 inch of dust on the box. He blew it off, and opened the box, and it was the exact part I needed. It even had a warranty card! He said that is the last one, and no need to put it in the computer now.

I did not bother sending in the warranty, but it fixed my problem and it was working fine when I sold the house many years later.
