Didn't we already fix that one? I don't want to keep paying $240 a time on the same appliance.

Pulled the repair history for Camelback Terrace 2B and checked it against the appliance replacement policy.
Replace it. The repair does not pay for itself.
- Three call-outs on this dishwasher in twelve months: $185 in October, $205 in February, $240 quoted now. That is $630 spent to keep a unit the policy already treats as end of life.
- The policy line is two repairs in twelve months, or a repair over half the replacement cost. This is both.
- The $240 repair buys about six months on the vendor's own estimate, so the next call-out lands inside this fiscal year.
The numbers
- Repair path: $240 now, plus a likely $200 to $250 in six months. Roughly $480 over the year and no new appliance at the end of it.
- Replace path: $610 once, warranty resets, no further spend expected on this line.
- Difference over twelve months is around $130 in favour of replacing, before the third call-out.

Noted. I have not ordered anything. The spend still needs Aaron's approval before it goes to the vendor. Want me to put the approval together?
