The repair visit split, stated head-on first
| Part row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Headline band | average $225; range $75-$600 | average $200; most $160-$300 |
| Drain pump | $150-$350 | $150-$350 |
| Inlet valve | no priced row printed | $80-$125 |
| Spray arm | $75-$150 | $75-$100 |
| Door latch / gasket | latch $75-$175 | gasket $50-$100 |
| Heating element | $150-$300 | $150-$250 |

| Motor | $250-$600 | $400-$600 |
Named apart, never a row here: the appliance-repair hub, the family page pricing many appliances and never a single dishwasher visit; the washing-machine repair cluster and the dryer repair cluster, their own appliance visits; the garbage-disposal repair cluster, a different under-sink job; and the standing dishwasher repair-vs-replace decision page, a different purchase pricing no repair rows -- this cluster prices the dishwasher repair visit alone.
Part bands: the pump to motor rows
Both frames print a part split for the same visit, and the rows stand apart inside each frame: the pump row reads the same band in both frames, and the motor row reads apart -- Frame A at $250-$600 for the motor line alone, Frame B at $400-$600 on a line that counts the motor and pump assembly together, as printed. Frame A also prints a hose line at $75-$130 and a sensor line at $100-$200; Frame B prints drain hose, dispenser, door, filter kit, and racks rows -- each inside its own frame, never merged.
The door rows counted two ways
One row splits by name inside the door line: Frame A prices the door latch at $75-$175 and prints no gasket row; Frame B prices the door gasket at $50-$100 and a whole door row at $150-$250, and prints no latch row -- two door readings in two frames, apart, never reconciled into one door line.
The same visit counted the other way: Frame B
Frame B holds its headline at an average of $200, most at $160-$300, ends at $70 and $600, beside diagnostic fees at $35-$100. Frame A's page family carries an FAQ variant at $200 / $160-$300 -- apart from its own $225 headline, never merged.
The neighbours, differentiated
The standing appliance repair hub prices the family of appliances; the standing repair-vs-replace decision page prices a different purchase and no repair rows; neither prices a repair row here.
The local read
