Here's a Parts Resource:
Before you make any decisions, try finding your parts through the link below. It sounds like your repair person either wanted to sell you a new dishwasher, or had limited parts resources, or didn't want to fool with an older machine. Some techs don't like fixing the old stuff, because they feel there will be other stuff wrong soon, the machine will break again, and the customer will be unhappy.
As has been pointed out, many parts are still available for your machine, and fixing a dishwasher is not rocket science, so you may well be able to repair it yourself. That will leave you WAY ahead of where you will be if you have to buy a new dishwasher- the new ones are not as good as the old, trust us.
If you do not find your parts through RepairClinic.com, please come back to us for more resources- there are people here who could find anything, LOL.
