Ran my dishwasher last darkness it started smoking and started melting the vent on the front so I stopped it. Do I want a new dishwasher or a latest part for it?
Answers:    If the dishwasher is over 5 years out-of-date - replace it. The repair bill will cost about what a fresh one will.
To melt the vent on the front would nouns like a electrics or electrical problem I would guess site unseen you may need to replace the tool.
I would call a service personage and have it checked out first to be paid this determination.
